Emergency Airway Management and Ventilation Quiz

Endotracheal intubation is indicated primarily in cases of respiratory distress to secure the airway.

The primary goal of positive pressure ventilation is to improve cardiac output.

The primary advantage of using a supraglottic airway device (SGA) over endotracheal intubation is that it is easier to insert.

The recommended compression to ventilation ratio for adult CPR is 30 compressions to 2 ventilations.

The primary indication for cricothyrotomy is securing an airway during CPR.

Jaw thrust maneuver is recommended to maintain cervical spine alignment in cases of suspected injury.

The recommended initial tidal volume during bag-mask ventilation for an adult patient is 8-10 mL/kg.

Capnography is the preferred method for confirming endotracheal tube placement.

Ketamine is commonly used for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) to induce anesthesia.

Limited jaw protrusion is a characteristic feature of a difficult airway.

Hypercarbia is a common complication of prolonged bag-mask ventilation.

Grade I in the Mallampati classification indicates the most favorable airway anatomy for intubation.

External laryngeal manipulation can help improve laryngeal view during direct laryngoscopy.

Laryngeal edema is a potential complication associated with cricothyrotomy.

If gastric distention is observed during bag-mask ventilation, the ventilation rate should be decreased.

The primary purpose of cricoid pressure during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is to prevent regurgitation and aspiration.

Facial trauma is a contraindication for nasotracheal intubation.
