[Chapter 19] Complications associated with the insertion of a pulmonary artery catheter include:

[Chapter 22] Suctioning to a safe suction depth will help to prevent airway:

[Chapter 19] A respiratory therapist is reviewing the chest radiograph of an infant who is intubated and receiving mechanical ventilatory support. The tip of the indwelling umbilical artery catheter (UAC) is noted to be at the location of the 7th thoracic vertebra. Which of the following should the respiratory therapist conclude?

[Chapter 22] A 2-year-old child with spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) requires frequent nasopharyngeal suctioning. The child cries with suctioning and small amounts of blood are noted in the aspirated secretions. Which of the following should the respiratory therapist insert to minimize upper airway irritation during secretion removal by suctioning?

[Chapter 22] Which of the following is a contraindication for endotracheal intubation?

[Chapter 22] A respiratory therapist prepares for the elective intubation of a 4-year-old child. Which of the following best describes how to position child’s head for the procedure?

[Chapter 19] A respiratory therapist is evaluating a child receiving invasive ventilatory support in the pediatric ICU. The child is in the prone position and a near infrared spectroscopy probe is in place on L-2. The following data are available: Which of the following should the respiratory therapist conclude?

[Chapter 19] A respiratory therapist is providing care for a 5-year-old child in the pediatric ICU who has multiple skeletal deformities of the extremities and face. Which of the following probes should a respiratory therapist use to assess oxygenation?

[Chapter 19] A respiratory therapist is applying electrodes for an impedance home apnea monitor to an infant following a clinic visit. Which of the following best describes the correct anatomic area for electrode placement?

[Chapter 19] A 3-year-old child who is intubated and receiving manual ventilation by EMS presents to the emergency department (ED). The child was found submerged in an unheated swimming pool. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was provided for 15 minutes at the scene, after which time spontaneous circulation returned, but the patient remained apneic and hypothermic. Which of the following sites should the respiratory therapist apply the pulse oximeter probe to continuously monitor the child’s oxygenation during stabilization and initial care in the ED?
