FISDAP AIRWAY EXAM UPDATED
ACTUAL EXAM PAPER 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ alveolar minute volume.
Answer: The volume of air moved through the lungs in 1 minute minus
the dead space; calculated by multiplying tidal volume (minus dead
space) and respiratory rate.
◉ alveolar ventilation.
Answer: The volume of air that reaches the alveoli. It is determined by
subtracting the amount of dead space air from the tidal volume.
◉ American Standard Safety System.
Answer: A safety system for large oxygen cylinders, designed to prevent
the accidental attachment of a regulator to a cylinder containing the
wrong type of gas.
◉ apnea.
Answer: absence of spontaneous breathing
◉ aspiration.
Answer: In the context of airway, the introduction of vomitus or other
foreign material into the lungs.
, ◉ ataxic respirations.
Answer: Irregular, ineffective respirations that may or may not have an
identifiable pattern.
◉ automatic transport ventilator (ATV).
Answer: A ventilation device attached to a control box that allows the
variables of ventilation to be set. It frees the EMT to perform other tasks
while the patient is being ventilated.
◉ bag-valve mask (BVM).
Answer: A device with a one-way valve and a face mask attached to a
ventilation bag; when attached to a reservoir and connected to oxygen, it
delivers more than 90% supplemental oxygen.
◉ Barrier device.
Answer: A protective item, such as a pocket mask with a valve, that
limits exposure to a patient's body fluids.
◉ Bronchioles.
Answer: Subdivision of the smaller bronchi in the lungs; made of
smooth muscle and dilate or constrict in response to various stimuli.
◉ Capnometry.
