Paramedic CCT exam Questions and
100% Correct Verified Answers
1.After moving a patient to your ventilator for transport, you note that the peak
inspiratory pressure is averaging 18 cmH2O. You should set your high pressure alarm to?
2.An appropriate V(t) setting for a 65 kg ideal body weight person in respiratory
failure secondary to a closed head injury being transported to a higher level of care
would be?
500 mL
1200 mL
900 mL
700 mL - Answer A) 500 mL
3) Which of the following can cause a low pressure alarm?
bronchospasm
circuit disconnection
interruption in the O2 supply
patient coughing - Answer B) circuit disconnection
, For a sedated and chemically paralyzed patient, which of the following modes is most
likely to assure that the set pressure is delivered at the desired rate?
Assist control - volume
Assist control - pressure
Average volume - assured pressure
SIMV - volume - Answer B) Assist control - pressure
5) How is tidal volume determined?
At 6-8 mL/kg
at 8-10 mL/kg
At 6-8 mL/kg of ideal body weight
at 8-10 mL/kg of ideal body weight - Answer C) At 6-8 mL/kg of ideal body weight
6) Pressure support:
is only available in assist / control pressure cycled mode
can only be delivered during inspiration and in SIMV mode
is delivering the same pressure every time with a resultant variable tidal volume
can be determined in the field by a CCT medic - Answer B) can only be
delivered during inspiration and in SIMV mode
7) The default I:E ratio for COPD patients should be set at:
1:3
1:2.5
1:2
, 1:3.5 - Answer A) 1:3
8) The low pressure limit should in volume mode be set at:
5 above PEEP
10 above PEEP
5 below PEEP
15 above PEEP - Answer A) 5 above PEEP
Which of the following statements about mechanical positive pressure ventilation
is most correct?
In AC mode with volume cycle, the volume is fixed, inspiratory pressure can vary,
and there is a risk that barotrauma can occur if PIP increases.
When AC mode is selected, the patient's spontaneous respiratory rate is
detected and used to automatically adjust the set respiratory rate
In AC mode with volume cycle, the inspiratory pressure is fixed and volume can
vary, creating a significant danger that under ventilation can occur
In SIMV, the patient rests and heals - Answer A) In AC mode with volume cycle, the
volume is fixed, inspiratory pressure can vary, and there is a risk that barotrauma can
occur if PIP increases.
10) Which patient may benefit from pressure mode setting:
, 1) When was the movement of injured patients first recorded?
1945, during World War II in Burma
The 11th century, during the Crusades Ans: D
1812 in New York City
1872, during the French Revolution - Answer B) The 11th century, during the
Crusades Ans: D
2) Who initiated the first ambulance service in a US major metropolitan area?
Freedom House Ambulance
Bellevue Hospital
The Revolutionary Army
The Army of the Potomac - Answer B) Bellevue Hospital
