27
Q

what is the fastest way to stop O2 in the case of an airway fire

A

disconnect circuit

28
Q

what are the issues associated with supraglottic jet ventilation

A

misalignment leads to poor ventilation, blood smoke, debris blown into trachea, VC may vibrate, cant monitor etCO2, spike pneumomediastinum, pneumothorax, sq emphysema

29
Q

subglottic jet vent has ___ risk barotrauma than supraglottic

A

greater

30
Q

High frequency ventilation (HFV) involves ___ tidal volumes with ___ rates via 3.5-4mm catheter

A

small, rapid

31
Q

HFPPV (positive pressure ventilation) resp rates =

A

60-120

32
Q

HFJV (jet ventilation) resp rates = ____ and tidal volumes = ?

A

resp rates =100-140.

tidal volumes less than dead space

33
Q

what do you do to avoid OR pollution by anesthetic gases if you are insufflating agent via a small catheter in the nose or nasopharynx?

A

use a high intensity suction catheter near the mouth to clear

34
Q

how can you assess for adequacy of ventilation with a riding bronchoscope?

A

chest rise - tidal volume and etco2 will not return via circuit

35
Q

T/F A rigid bronchoscope provides better visualization, suction, and control of bleeding. Control ventilation d/t danger of movement and risk of hypoventilation.

A

TRUE.

36
Q

the venturi bronchoscope uses the same principles of ____

A

sanders type injector

16g jet on side arm of laryngoscope or bronchoscope

37
Q

PCO2 accumulates ____ for every minute of apnea

A

3-4torr

38
Q

Risks of fiberoptic bronchoscope: ___ from over zealous suctioning, and ____ from sedation

A

hypoxemia, hypoventilation

39
Q

GETA fiberoptic - ETT no smaller than ____

A

8-9

40
Q

If FOB occupies too much cross section of eat or scope too tight in larynx, ____ occurs, which ____ venous return and CO

A

PEEP, decreases

41
Q

T/F Esophagoscopy requires a large ETT

A

false. use smaller size ETT. may need to drop cuff to allow passage of scope

42
Q

which procedure carries the complications of perforation of hypopharynx, massive hemorrhage, dysrhythmia as heart is stimulated by passage of scope

A

Esophagoscopy

43
Q

If FB is in the esophagus, cried pressure can cause?

A

perforation, esp if object is sharp

44
Q

FB can cause collapse of trachea if it presses on post tracheal wall (absence of cartilage support). what could be useful?

A

reinforced tube

45
Q

inhaled foreign body - which is worse - organic or inorganic ?

A

organic. it can soften, expand, and fragment.

46
Q

T/F In near complete occlusion, pushing laryngeal/tracheal fb into mainstream bronchus has resulted in reducing obstruction temporality.

A

TRUE

47
Q

If known organic material, position ___ with affected side _____ to minimize fragment spread

A

lateral, affected side DOWN

48

A

tripod

57
Q

T/F induce child with epiglottitis with sevo, N20, O2

A

FALSE just sevo and 100% fio2

58
Q

How should you determine your ETT size for epiglottitis?

A

intubate orals or nasally with tube 0.5-1.0 size smaller than usual

59
