This expertly verified document features over 50 high-level, multiple-choice questions and answers from the Air Methods Critical Care Review for the 2025/2026 exam cycle. It is designed to prepare healthcare professionals—particularly those in air medical services—for the critical care certification exam, with a specialized focus on flight physiology. Covered topics include gas laws (Boyle’s, Charles’, Dalton’s, Gay-Lussac’s, Henry’s, Fick’s), physiological changes at altitude, types of hypoxia (hypemic, histotoxic, hypoxic, stagnant), oxygen delivery issues, altitude-related conditions like barodentalgia and the bends, and decompression emergencies. Real-world flight scenarios and evidence-based rationales enhance the practical application of each concept. Ideal for students and professionals in: Critical Care Nursing (CCRN) Flight Paramedicine (FP-C) Air Medical Transport Programs Emergency Medicine and Trauma Nursing EMS and Advanced Prehospital Care Respiratory Therapy in Transport Settings This study resource is suitable for university-level programs, paramedic training academies, air ambulance training, and professional certification prep. It is especially useful for those affiliated with Air Methods or similar critical care transport providers. Keywords: flight physiology, critical care transport, air medical exam, gas laws, hypoxia types, barotrauma, decompression illness, Dalton's law, Boyle's law, altitude medicine, Air Methods training, oxygen delivery, FP-C prep, CCRN transport, EMS air transport, altitude hypoxia, Fick's law, carbon monoxide poisoning, sickle cell in flight, SCUBA air transport, night vision loss

During the morning shift brief, the pilot stated that the current combined

crew weight and increased density altitutde due to hight temperatures, the

maximum patient weight from the helipad is only 150 pounds.




This is understood to be consistent with what law?

Charles'

Dalton's

Boyle's


Graham's - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Charles' Law

, Charles' Law explains that as air temperature increases, the air mass

increases in volume because the molecules are spaced farter apart,

creating an environment where wings, rotors, and propellers have less

molecules to work with, making them less efficient. Dalton's law explains

gas mixtures. Boyle's Law explains atmospheric pressure. Graham's law

explains effect or molecular weight diffusion and effusion

Yoou are transporting a patient diagnosed with ischemic bowel with

trapped peritoneal gas. Upon reaching cruise altitude, the patient starts

experiencing excruciating abdominal pain due to gas expansion. This

phenomenon can be best explained by what law? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Boyle's

Law




Boyle's law explains the effect of changing atmospheric pressure on gas

within a flexible container. Charles' law explains the relationship between

volume and absolute temperature at constant pressure. Henry's Law

explains the relationship between gas dissolving into liquids and the

pressure above the liquid. Graham's law explains effect of molecular weight

diffusion and effusion
