Q

What does “Airway protection” refer to when performing endotracheal intubation?

A. Protecting a patient’s trachea by providing an alternate airway to prevent gastric contents from entering the trachea (preventing Aspiration)

B. Providing a phsysical structure to cover the opening of the trachea and completely prevent the entering of air and gastric contents.

C. Providing a compound that will coat the trachea and reduce irritation caused by gastric contents entering the trachea.

D. None of the above

Q

Which of these patients would require Endotracheal Intubation?

A. Patients with airway obstruction

B. Patients wieht laryngeal edema

C. Patients with hypoxia due to COPD and Asthma exacerbations

D. Patients that are heavily sedated (general anesthesia)

E. All of the above

A

E

Patients under general anesthesia could experience respiratory depression from the anesthesia and may require endotracheal intubation.

Q

What type of physiological responses can be seen when a patient is undergoing endotracheal intubation?

A. Increased heart rate and blood pressure (SNS stimulation)

B. Bronchospasms (PNS stimulation)

C. Tracheal reflexes caused by endotracheal tube

D. All of the above

A

D

The reason you will see increased SNS and PNS responses is because the trachea, larynx and pharynx all have nerves that will respond to the endotracheal tube being inserted and cause these reactions. Thats why we give these paralytic medications in order to blunt those physiological responses.
