Question 6

Intubation with an endotracheal tube (Choose three.):

  1. allows adjunctive ventilatory equipment to be used effectively
  2. decreases the risk of aspiration
  3. is the first priority in ventricular fibrillation

  1. may be used by untrained individuals
  2. with high flow and a reservoir deliver close to 100% oxygen

Question 8

During cardiac arrest, acidosis (Choose three.):

  1. is usually both metabolic and respiratory
  2. should be treated with increased ventilation
  3. should generally be treated with sodium bicarbonate
  4. usually resolves once perfusion is restored

Question 9
