Which of the following best explains why cricoid pressure may be harmful during RSI?
It increases vagal tone, leading to bradycardia
It causes premature laryngospasm
It reduces lower esophageal sphincter tone
It distorts the glottic view and may worsen first-pass success
Which induction agent is most appropriate for a hypotensive trauma patient undergoing RSI?
Propofol
Thiopental
Etomidate
Midazolam
A 30-year-old male with a history of end-stage renal disease requires emergent intubation. Which paralytic agent is contraindicated?
Rocuronium
Atracurium
Succinylcholine
Cisatracurium
Which of the following airway assessment findings most strongly predicts a difficult laryngoscopy?
Mallampati class II
Thyromental distance >6.5 cm
Inter-incisor distance <2 cm
Ability to prognath
In which clinical scenario would preoxygenation with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) be superior to standard NRB mask?
Mild asthma exacerbation
Acute metabolic acidosis
Pulmonary edema with SpO₂ 84% on NRB
Isolated facial trauma
During RSI, a patient desaturates rapidly despite preoxygenation. Which of the following is the most likely reason in an obese patient?
Airway obstruction by the tongue
High metabolic oxygen demand
Inadequate ramping position
Excess cricoid pressure
Which of the following best defines apneic oxygenation in the context of RSI?
Ventilating the patient through BVM during apnea
Delivering oxygen via nasal cannula during laryngoscopy
Providing PEEP during mask ventilation
Preoxygenating using a non-rebreather mask
Which is the most appropriate airway management plan for a known difficult airway in a cooperative trauma patient with intact airway reflexes?
RSI with ketamine and rocuronium
Awake fiberoptic intubation
BVM followed by supraglottic device
Cricothyrotomy as first-line
Which RSI pharmacologic combination is most appropriate for a patient with reactive airway disease and hemodynamic instability?
Propofol + succinylcholine
Midazolam + atracurium
Etomidate + rocuronium
Ketamine + rocuronium
Which of the following airway devices offers the highest first-pass success rate in predicted difficult airways?
Direct laryngoscope with Macintosh blade
Bougie with Miller blade
Video laryngoscope
Combitube
