Stacey and Jordan are learning about tracheostomy tubes in class. Jordan asks, "Hey Stacey, do you know what makes a fenestrated tracheostomy special?" What is the correct answer?

• no place in modern emergency medicine.

• one or more openings in the posterior wall of the outer cannula.

• an extra channel built into the tube wall for suctioning just above the cuff.

• no cuff.

Angela and Stacey are learning about airway devices in class. Angela asks, "Hey Stacey, do you know which device has a Murphy’s eye located at its distal end?" Can you help them out?

• oral airway (OPA).

• nasal airway (NPA).

• laryngeal mask airway (LMA).

• endotracheal tube (ETT).

• Carlen's tube

• High lo-evac

Jordan and Kim are preparing for a medical skills challenge! Which of the following equipment should they grab if they want to perform an oral intubation?

• McGill forceps

• Presence of tracheal sounds

• Noting condensate on expiration

Xzavier and Yesenia are about to help their patient use a Passy-Muir speaking valve for the first time! Before they get started, what important step should they take?

• remove the air from the cuff.
