1. The two systems responsible for the elimination of Respiratory and renal
excess CO2 from the body are:
2. Which of the following describes a Capnograph? An instrument used to
measure exhaled CO2
3. The byproduct that is produced during anaerobic me- Lactate
tabolism is:
4. What will cause a rise in ETCO2 levels? Increased cardiac output
5. What decreases the metabolic rate? Hypothermia
6. What two substances must be present for Aerobic Gly- Glucose and Oxygen
colysis?
7. The additional phase sometimes seen in pregnant and Phase 4
obese patients which creates an abnormality in the
waveform is called?
8. If Ventilation and Perfusion are equal, how closely with 2-5 mmHg
ETCO2 and PaCO2 correlate?
9. An adult patient with a gunshot wound to the chest Administer blood products
is intubated. Greater than 1 L of blood drained initial
insertion of a chest tube. Vital signs are BP 76/P, HR
143, RR 32, SPO2 92% with NRB 15 Lpm, ETCO2 26.
Vent settings are as follows: AC tV 480 (appropriate
for pts IDBW). Rate 10 peep 5 FiO2 1.00. What is the
most appropriate action for the medical crewmember
to make?
10. A patient with an open fracture/dislocation of the ankle Stimulate the patient
has received ketamine, fentanyl, and versed for pain.
