EMSE 2021 EXAM 1 REVIEW PART 3

To calculate tube size in the pediatric patient you should use what calculation

• age in days + 16-4

• age in years + 16/4

• age in years +4 /16

• age in years +14/6

Surgical airways are unavailable in pediatric patients

• True

• False

Cricoid pressure is appropriate while intubating pediatric patients

• True

• False

The tongue in a pediatric patient is larger in relation to the oropharynx than an adult.

• True

• False

What is the narrowest part of the airway in the pediatric patient?

• glottic opening

• cricoid cartilage

• tongue

• occiput

Answer explanation

The narrowest in an adult is the glottic opening,

This is a catheter placed at the nares. It provides an optimal oxygen supplementation of up to 40 percent when set at 6 L/min flow.

• nasal cannula

• small volume nebulizer

• cpap

• simple face mask

This s a high-flow face mask that uses a system to deliver relatively precise oxygen concentrations regardless of the patient’s rate and depth of breathing using either dial selectors or interchangeable caps. Either types can deliver concentration of 24,28,35, and 40% oxygen depending on the liter flow.

• Simple face mask

• Partial rebreather mask

• Venturi Mask

• Small volume nebulizer

This indicated for patients requiring moderate oxygen concentrations. Side ports allow room air to enter the mask and dilute the oxygen concentration during inspiration. Flow rates generally range from about 6 to 10 L/min, providing 40 to 60 percent oxygen

• Simple face mask

• Partial rebreather mask

• Venturi Mask

• Small volume nebulizer

This device is indicated for patients requiring moderate-to-high oxygen concentrations when the simple face mask does not obtain satisfactory clinical results. Maximal flow rate is 10 L/min.

• Simple face mask

• Partial rebreather mask

• Venturi Mask

• Small volume nebulizer

This device has one-way side ports as well as an attached reservoir bag to hold oxygen ready to inhale. It provides the highest oxygen concentration of all oxygen delivery devices available, about 80 percent when set at 15 L/min of oxygen

• Simple face mask

• Nonrebreather mask

• Venturi Mask

• Small volume nebulizer
