(UTA)
determine difficult intubation with? - (ANSWER)LEMONS
size of tongue to oral cavity? - (ANSWER)Mallampati Classification Score
absolute CI in endotracheal intubation? - (ANSWER)total upper airway obstruction or loss of
oropharyngeal landmarks from trauma or burns
pressure on cricoid cartilage to compress esophagus to prevent regurg during intubation? -
(ANSWER)Sellick's Maneuver
insert blade with ? hand on ? of the mouth? - (ANSWER)left hand & on right side of the mouth to
displace tongue to the left
aligns the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes? - (ANSWER)sniffing position for intubation
goal of preoxygenation? - (ANSWER)maximize arterial PaO2 & denitrogenation of functional residual
capacity
maximizes time for intubation w/o O2 desaturation (7-9 min in healthy adult)
Room Air is? - (ANSWER)primarily 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen
rapid onset and short duration paralytic? - (ANSWER)Succinylcholine: 30-45 sec; 5-10 mins
Increases K levels
rescue breaths during CPR? - (ANSWER)less important; interrupts chest compressions and increases

(UTA)
soft palate not visible? - (ANSWER)Class IV Mallampati
difficult BVM ventilation? - (ANSWER)MOANS
oxygenation versus ventilation? - (ANSWER)O2 to blood and tissues versus air in and out of the lungs
