answer the crichoid cartilage - provides anatomical seal for
uncuffed or cuffless ETT in children younger than 8 years old
,Anatomical and physiological features of pediatric breathing? -
correct answer compensatory mechanisms less effective
Higher metabolic rate
Respiratory rate varies with age
Thin chest wall
Cartilaginous sternum and ribs
Poorly developed intercostal muscles
Diaphragm positioned flat
Ribs horizontally oriented
Fewer smaller alveoli
What age is the respiratory system considered fully developed? -
correct answer 8 years old

asthma, affects 9.3% of children
Do pediatrics have a higher or lower metabolic rate? - correct
answer higher - results in more rapid respiratory rate and less
efficient use of oxygen and glucose. In addition, other symptoms,
such as fever or anxiety, may further increase metabolic rate
A pulse ox reading of less than ____ at sea level is indicative of
respiratory compromise? - correct answer 92%, exceptions
include children with uncorrected congenital heart defects

the following formula? - correct answer internal tube diameter
x3.
Studies show that the use of the length based resuscitation tape
to determine depth of the ETT is the most accurate method
An excess of either of these 2 substances causes a direct
excitatory effect on the respiratory center, resulting in increased
rate of ventilation? - correct answer increased paco2 or
increased H+
Most common cause of respiratory distress and failure in the
pediatric patient? - correct answer upper or lower airway
obstructive disorders
Causes of upper airway respiratory distress and failure in
