100
This is where the upper airway stops and the lower airway begins.
What is the larynx
100
Process by which the thoracic cavity creates a vacuum causing the lungs to fill.
What is negative-pressure ventilation?
100
Vesicular breath sounds are heard in this area.
What is mid-axillary?
100
When suctioning the ET tube, the catheter should be inserted to this point.
What is the carina?
100
This is the only depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent.
What is succinylcholine?
200
This is where the trachea divides into the right and left mainstem bronchi.
What is the carina?
200
Regulation of ventilation is controlled in these two ways.
What is chemoreceptors and respiratory centers?
200
Hyperresonance when percussing the chest may indicate this.
What is pneumothorax?
200
This is the preferred method of gastric decompression in the intubated patient.
What is nasogastric tube?
300
A phospholipid compound that decreases surface tension on alveolar walls.
What is surfactant?
300
This is the exchange of O2 and CO2 between the systemic circulation and the cells of the body.
What is internal or cellular respiration?
300
This reflex is a fairly reliable indicator of an intact gag.
What is eyelash reflex?
300
This method of ventilating a patient provides the best information about compliance.
What is pocket mask with supplemental O2
300
This class of drug provides anterograde amnesia.
What are benzodiazepines?
400
These mucous-producing cells line the trachea and mainstem bronchi.
What are goblet cells?
400
This lies behind most abnormalities in oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
What is V/Q Mismatch?
400
These normal breath sounds can be heard over the manubrium.
What are bronchial sounds?
400
This can occur if an OPA that is too large is inserted in a patient.
What is occlusion of the glottis by the epiglottis?
400
This is a non-narcotic sedative used to facilitate intubation or during RSI.
What is Etomidate?
500
This occurs when the amount of surfactant is decreased and alveoli collapse.
What is atelectasis?
500
This occurs when there is an insufficient amount of glucose causing cells to metabolize fatty acids.
What is ketoacidosis?
500
This occurs when the systolic BP drops more than 10 mmHg during inhalation.
What is pulsus paradoxus?
500
An unconscious patient that is breathing adequately should be placed in this position.
What is the recovery position?
500
Neuromuscular blocking agents that do not cause fasiculations are known as this.
What are non-depolarizing agents?
