CORRECT!!
_____________________________________ must be administered to all severely injured trauma
patients - ANSWER Supplemental oxygen
Airway compromise can be sudden and complete,, insidious and partial, and / progressive and
recurrent. Although it is often related to pain, or anxiety, or both
________________________________ can be a subtle early sign of airway and/or ventilatory
compromise. - ANSWER Tachypnea
A positive, appropriate verbal response with a clear voice indicates : - ANSWER That the patients
airway is patent, ventilation is intact, and brain perfusion is sufficient. Failure to respond or an
inappropriate response suggests an altered level of consciousness that may be result of airway or
ventilatory compromise or both.
___________________________________________________________ is defined as a tube placed
in the trachea with the cuff inflates below the vocal cords, the tube connected to a form of oxygen
enriched assisted ventilation, and the airway secured in place with an appropriate stabilizing
method. - ANSWER Definitive Airway
Maintaining ____________________________ and preventing ______________________________
are critical in managing trauma patients, especially those who have sustained head injuries. -
ANSWER Oxygenation And preventing hypoxia
An understanding of the ____________________________________. Is mandatory to providing
adequate airway management while anticipating the risks. - ANSWER Understanding the type of
injury
This injury is indicated by a triad of clinical signs:
Hoarseness
Subcutaneous emphysema
Palpable fractures - ANSWER Laryngeal Trauma
, ________________________________________ can cause abnormal breathing patterns and
compromise adequacy of ventilation. - ANSWER Intracranial Injury
Cervical spinal cord injury can result in respiratory muscle paresis and paralysis.
Cervical injuries below _________________ result in maintenance of the diaphragmatic function but
loss of the intercostal and abdominal muscles contribution to respiration. - ANSWER C 3
The mnemonic LEMON is a helpful tool in assessing the potential difficult airway. - ANSWER Look
Externally - look for characteristics known to contribute to difficult intubation & ventilation
Evaluate the 3-3-2 Rule
I . The distance between the patients incisor teeth should be at least 3 finger breaths
II. The distance between the hyoid bone and the chin should be at least 3 finger breaths
III. The distance between the thyroid notch ad the floor of the mouth should be at least 2 finger
breaths
Mallampati Score: Ensure the hypopharynx is adequately visualized
Obstruction. - Any condition that can cause obstruction of the airway will make laryngoscopy and
ventilation difficult.
Neck Mobility - Vital requirement of successful intubation
List the first priority of airway management - ANSWER Is to ensure continued oxygenation while
restricting cervical spine motion.
Is an LMA considered a definitive airway - ANSWER LMA does not provide a definitive airway, and
proper placement of this device is difficult.
List three types of definitive airways - ANSWER Orotracheal tube
Nasotracheal tube
Cricothyroidotomy
Typically these patients display a seesaw pattern of breathing in which the abdomen is pushed out
with inspiration, while the lower rib cage is pulled in.
______________________________ patients may sustain significant thoracic injuries without rib
fractures - ANSWER Pediatric patients
