PLATINUM FINAL EXAM EMTP 3.3 REVIEW 2023 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS COMPLETE What is the best airway device to use for smoke inhalation? Endotracheal intubation is frequently needed for supportive therapy in the management of inhalation injury. Most pertinent piece of information in evaluating a patient's ventilatory status? Ventilation is the movement of air in and out of the lungs through a patent airway. The majority of observations regarding ventilation focus on the movements of the chest....

ATLS Test 1 Exam A 22-year-old man is hypotensive and tachycardic after a shotgun wound to the left shoulder. His blood pressure is initially 80/40 mm Hg. After initial fluid resuscitation his blood pressure increases to 122/84 mm Hg. His heart rate is now 100 beats per minute and his respiratory rate is 28 breaths per minute. A tube thoracostomy is performed for decreased left chest breath sounds with the return of a small amount of blood and no air leak. After chest tube insertion, the most ap...

Relias - Fetal Heart Monitoring Questions and Answers 2023 uterine blood supply - uterine arteries deliver oxygenated blood to spiral arteries which bring oxygen rich blood to intervillous space of placenta that has fetal capillaries - fetal capillaries carry the O2 rich blood to umbilical VEIN that goes to fetus -in contrast, the umbilical ARTERIES return waste products to that intervillous space that go into mother's venous system Potential issues that negatively affect fetal o...

minimum urine output for adult 0.5mL/kg/hr ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - water retainer - vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin) - produced by hypothalamus - store and released from posterior pituitary ADH pathway - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and increased serum osmolality - signal pituitary to release ADH - ADH causes kidney to retain water - water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) -...
