Formed by the cheeks, hard and soft palate, and tongue.

Muscular tube that extends vertically from the back of the soft palate to the superior aspect of the esophagus.

Upper most region of the pharynx, extends from the back of the nasal opening to the plane of the soft palate.

This part of the pharynx extends posteriorly from the hyoid bone to the esophagus and anteriorly to the larynx.

This part of the pharynx extends from the plane of the soft palate to the hyoid bone

Complex structure that joins the pharynx with the trachea.

Microscopic air sacs where most oxygen and carbon dioxide gas exchange takes place.

Tubes from the trachea into the lungs

Membranous connective tissue covering the lungs

10-12 cm long tube that connects the larynx to the mainstem bronchi

This is arranged in two pulmonary lobules that from the anatomic division of the lungs. These are further organized into lobes.

Placement in which a supine patients head is elevated to the point where the ear and sternal notch are horizontally aligned.

Ear- to-sternal-notch position for airway management in the obese patient.

Ear- to-sternal-notch position for airway management in the non obese patient.

Performed by placing one hand on the patients forehead tilting the head back and two fingers of the other hand under the bony part of the chin and lifting the jaw anteriorly.

Lifting the jaw by using two fingers behind the mandibular angles, not tilting the head if cervical spine injury is suspected.

This device follows the natural curvature of the nasopharynx, passing through the nose and extending from the nostril to the posterior pharynx just below the base of the tongue.

Indications for the use of the NPA include

The tip of the patients nose to the earlobe is how to properly measure

When inserting an NPA the bevel should be facing:

This device holds the base of the tongue away from the posterior oropharynx; thus preventing it from obstructing the glottis.

The OPA is indicated for use in patients

To measure for insertion of this device the flange is placed beside the patients cheek parallel to the front of the teeth. If properly sized it will extend from the patients mouth to the angle of the jaw.

This type of suction device is lightweight, portable, inexpensive, and is simple to operate, however it has a limited volume and is manually powered.

This type of suction device is lightweight, and small however it has limited suction power and uses much oxygen.

This type of suction device is lightweight, portable, has excellent suction power however its battery memory decreases with time.

This type of suction device has a strong suction, adjustable vacuum power, and a disposable fluid container, however it is not portable.

We should limit each suctioning attempt to how many seconds?

The hard/rigid catheter

Soft catheters:

Complications from suctioning related to hypoxemia is from

When the vagus nerve is stimulated during suctioning it could cause the following

Stimulating the cough reflex while suctioning the patient can also cause an increase in

When determining the depth of the suction catheter insertion measure from

Basic maneuvers that are appropriate to the patients age and mental status for a patient with an FBAO include:

This is a dual lumen airway that has a ventilatory port for each lumen. It has two inflatable cuffs. If ventilation through tube 1 is unsuccessful then ventilate through the shorter tube.

This airway device is a two tube system. The first tube is short with a large diameter. A large cuff encircles the tubes lower 3rd. when inflated the cuff seals off the entire oropharynx. The second tube can be inserted blindly into either the trachea or esophagus. when inflated the distal cuff seals off which ever anatomical structure the tube has entered.

These types devices are inserted blindly into the airway to facilitate oxygenation and ventilation via a self inflating bag or transport ventilator but do not enter the glottis.

This subcategory of EGAs sit behind the vocal cords

This subcategory of EGAs sit above the vocal cords

This airway device i a single lumen retroglottic airway. This device has a large pharyngeal balloon and smaller esophageal balloon like other retroglottic airways, but both balloons are inflated through a single port with a single syringe.

This supraglottic device has a rigid design that makes insertion easy without the need to place fingers in the mouth. It offers a very good seal against aspiration and facilitates gastric decompression through a separate channel. Does not offer many pediatric options.

This is a laryngeal mask that comes in a variety of sizes including multiple pediatric sizes. It has a built in bite block and a passageway that allows for gastric tube insertion.

Endotracheal Intubation Indications include which of the following

These are used to lift the soft tissue if the tongue and epiglottis out of the way to allow the practitioner to directly visualize the vocal cords

This type of blade is deigned to fit into the vallecula and put pressure on the hyoepiglottic ligament that connects the epiglottis to the base of the tongue. This allows you to see the glottic opening

This style of blade fits under the epiglottis and manually lifts it out of the way

This type of endotracheal intubation is the most widely used path because it allows visualization of the vocal cords and the ETT's passage through them.

This type of ETT has a proximal O-shaped ring attached to a plastic wire that runs the length of the tube and terminates distally. This is often used during nasotracheal intubation
