Answer 0

1) J-Tipped Guide wire (J-wire) 0.035”– 60 cm minimum length. 2) 2 Hemostats 3) Small diameter ETT or ETT introducer

Question 1

What three techniques are used for a difficult airway or traumatically injured airway?

Answer 1

1)Cricothyroid puncture to obtain access 2)high-pressure oxygenation and ventilation (HPOV) 3)retrograde Guide wire- assisted endotracheal integration (RGW)

Question 2

What is the primary purpose of high-pressure oxygenation and ventilation (HPOV)?

Answer 2

Oxygenate patient (not ventilation)

Question 3

What is the life-threatening problem related to loss of upper airway patency?

Answer 3

Hypoxia (not hypercapnia)

Question 4

What is a contraindication for HPOV technique

Answer 4

Complete airway obstruction

Question 5

What equipment is needed for high-pressure oxygenation & ventilation (HPOV) ?

Answer 5

1) High-pressure small diameter oxygen supply tubing 2) Three-way stopcock (turn so that all ports are open) 3) high-pressure oxygen supply connector 4) Oxygen flow meter with nipple Or Anesthesia machine fresh gas outlet with 6mm ETT connector

Question 6

What flow should be set for the HPOV technique?

Answer 6

Flow should be set to flush

Question 7

Equipment that comes in and HPOV-RGW kit?

Answer 7

10 mL syringe with needle Vile lidocaine 2% 14 gauge IV catheter 0.035 flexible J-wire 60 cm longer Hemostats Alcohol prep pads Low compliance oxygen tubing Three-way stopcock Threaded nipple for oxygen flow meter 6 mm ETT connector for anesthesia machine

Question 8

Which practitioner-based error accounts for the greatest percentage of “acute” errors when using HPOV technique

Answer 8

50% account for catheter p lacement not confirmed

Question 9

Answer 9

Inadequate oxygenation
