To maintain an open airway, the jaw-thrust technique should be used in patients with a(n):

You receive a call to report to the ED for a patient who just arrived via ambulance with a properly placed size 5 laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in place. You ventilate the patient with a manual resuscitator while the physician completes an initial assessment. What ventilation pressure is appropriate to avoid gastric distension?

What anatomical landmark marks the posterior aspect of the oral cavity?

When administering bag-mask ventilation to an adult, proper hand positioning on the bag is best achieved by:

[Questions 53-60 are a clinical scenario dealing with the same patient. Should you need to refer to the initial information, please re-read the narrative in #53] The patient is male, age 72, 5′ 11″ tall, and weighs 217 pounds. Choose the correct airway and size.

[Questions 53-60 are a clinical scenario dealing with the same patient. Should you need to refer to the initial information, please re-read the narrative in #53] You are called to a patient’s room for a rapid response. The patient is hypoventilating and bradycardic. The rapid response team grabs the code cart, but the patient still has a heart rate and is breathing spontaneously. The physician asks you to provide ventilation support with the resuscitation bag, but the patient has a large tongue that makes ventilating difficult. How can you improve manual ventilation support? Ensure the patient’s head/neck positioning is correct Advise the physician that the patient should just be intubated Ask for sedation for the patient Obtain and place an appropriate pharyngeal airway Check for proper mask seal while ventilating
