Questions and Answers
Which one of these is true about bag valve mask ventilation?
Which one of these is true about bag valve mask ventilation?
- Can be attached to an I-Gel supraglottic airway
- Does not inflate the stomach
- Increases the potential for cross infection compared to mouth to mouth ventilation
- Allows higher concentrations of oxygen to be delivered than a non-rebreathe mask (correct)
Which one of these is true about oropharyngeal airways?
Which one of these is true about oropharyngeal airways?
- Are relatively contraindicated in basal skull fractures (correct)
- Should ideally be inserted using the inverted technique
- Allow oxygen supplementation > 28% in bag valve mask ventilation
- Provide approximately 30% oxygen in unsupplemented mouth to mask ventilation
Which one of these is true about formal assessment of airway management?
Which one of these is true about formal assessment of airway management?
- Includes assessing the adequacy of bag valve mask ventilation (correct)
- Involves assessing the potential for cross infection
- Requires formal assessment of laryngeal fractures
- Involves assessing for the presence of subcutaneous emphysema around the neck
Flashcards
Bag Valve Mask Ventilation
Bag Valve Mask Ventilation
A bag valve mask can deliver higher oxygen concentrations compared to a non-rebreather mask.
Oropharyngeal Airways Contraindication
Oropharyngeal Airways Contraindication
Oropharyngeal airways are generally not recommended in patients with basal skull fractures due to the risk of intracranial placement.
Airway Management Assessment
Airway Management Assessment
Formal airway assessment includes confirming the effectiveness of bag valve mask ventilation to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
