The MOST aggressive airway management will likely be indicated when a patient: Select one: a. is resistant to the insertion of a nasopharyngeal airway. b. does not gag during insertion of an oral airway. c. is unconscious and gags during insertion of an oral airway. d. is semiconscious with an intact gag reflex. Prior to inserting an oropharyngeal airway in an unconscious patient, the EMT-P should: Select one: a. attempt to insert a nasopharyngeal airway to determine the presence of a gag reflex. b. ventilate the patient for approximately 3-5 minutes with a bag-valve mask device. c. attempt to elicit a gag reflex by inserting a tongue blade into the patient’s mouth. d. determine if the patient’s lower eyelid contracts when their eyelashes are stroked. Which of the following statements regarding pediatric airway anatomy is correct? Select one: a. Airway obstruction can easily e prevented by hyperextending the infant’s head. b. Infants have proportionately smaller tongues when compared to an adult. c. Soft tissue airway obstructions are less common in infants than adults. d. Infants have a less developed respiratory drive and weaker inspiratory muscles. Death from airway obstruction in the unconscious intoxicated person occurs most frequently because: Select one: a. an intact gag reflex results in spasm of the airway. b. vomiting is most often caused by a seizure. c. the patient is generally in a supine position. d. respirations are decreased due to alcohol. Bleeding into the oropharynx can rapidly lead to an airway obstruction because: Select one: a. blood has a tendency to clot and makes suctioning difficult. b. airway spasm is common following oropharyngeal bleeding. c. the bleeding is often profuse and difficult to control. d. the epiglottis is highly vascular and is frequently traumatized. Signs of a partial upper airway obstruction with poor air exchange include: Select one: a. anxiety and normal oxygen saturation. b. decreased mental status and cyanosis. c. normal mental status and retractions. d. labored breathing and normal oxygen saturation. Crowing, a high-pitched inspiratory sound, may be heard in cases of: Select one: a. obstruction by the tongue. b. laryngospasm c. fluid in the upper airway. d. bronchoconstriction Management of a conscious adult with a partial airway obstruction and poor air exchange includes: Select one: a. back blows and chest thrusts b. abdominal thrusts c. advising the patient to cough. d. blind finger sweeps Laryngeal edema is commonly caused by all of the following EXCEPT: Select one: a. airway burns b. airway infections c. allergic reactions d. solid foreign bodies SCIENCE
