ATLS 10 POST-TEST AND PRE-TEST 2023-
2024 ACTUAL EXAM 160 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS|ALREADY
GRADED A+
Laryngeal fracture is confirmed with what test?
Computed tomography (CT)
Airway obstruction objective signs
Agitation (hypoxia)
Obtundation (hypercarbia)
Cyanosis (nail beds, circumoral skin)
Increased work of breathing (retractions, accessory muscles)
Pulse oximetry
Abnormal breath sounds (snoring, gurgling, stridor, hoarseness)
Risk factors for ventilation compromise
Direct trauma to the chest
Rib fractures
Intracranial injuries
Cervical spine injury
High cervical spine injuries above _ will <\/strong>
Low cervical spine injuries below __<\/em> will , but<\/em><\/strong>
C3, paralyze the diaphragm.
C3, maintain the diaphragm, but paralyze the intercostal and abdominal
muscles (diaphragmatic or see-saw breathing)
Signs of inadequate ventilation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asymmetric tidal breathing
Inadequate chest wall excursion
Laboured breathing
Decreased or absent breath sounds
Tachypnea
Pulse oximetry
Capnography
Altered mental status
Symptoms of inadequate ventilation
Dyspnea
Orthopnea
Urge to sit up to breathe
Confusion
Potential situations causing difficulties in airway maneuvers
C-spine injury
Severe arthritis of the C-spine
Significant maxillofacial or mandibular trauma
Limited mouth opening
Retrognathia
Short, muscular necks
Bariatrics
Pediatrics
LEMON Assessment for Difficult Airway
Look externally (e.g. small mouth, large overbite, facial trauma)
Evaluate 3-3-2 rule (incisor teeth distance of 3 finger breadths; hyoid
bone
Mallampati score to evaluate hypopharynx (soft palate) evaluation
Obstructions that can make laryngoscopy and ventilation difficult.
Neck mobility (C-spine flexion, extension) – obviously cannot be<\/p>\n\n\n\n

performed in blunt trauma with suspected C-spine injury, also in those
with C-spine surgery, Down syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The ATLS airway decision scheme only applies in which scenarios?
Acute respiratory distress
Apneic patient
Immediate airway needed
Potentially have C-spine injury
Equipment checklist for airway maneuvers
Suction
Oxygen
OPA and NPA
Bag-mask
Laryngoscope
Gum elastic bougie (GEB)
Extraglottic devices (LMA, LTA)
Surgical or needle cricothyroidotomy kit
Endotracheal tubes
Pulse oximeter
CO2 detection device
Drugs
Methods to pre-oxygenate
Supplemental oxygen
Bag-mask
Oropharyngeal airway
Nasopharyngeal airway
Scenario: Can’t oxygenate or can’t intubate
Definitive airway or surgical airway
Scenario: Easy airway (LEMON)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempt intubation with cricoid pressure, \u00b1 drug-assistance.
Scenario: Difficult airway (LEMON)
Call for help and consider awake intubation.
Adjuncts for difficult airway or failed airway:
Gum elastic bougie
Intubating supraglottic device (e.g. ILMA, ILTA)
Mallampati Score
I – soft palate, fauces, uvula, tonsillar pillars
II – soft palate, fauces and uvula
III – soft palate and base of uvula
IV – soft palate not visible
3-3-2 Rule
3 finger-breadths wide between maxillary and mandibular incisors.
3 finger-breadths from the base of the mandible to the tip of the chin.
2 finger breaths from the hyoid bone to the thyroid notch.
Describe Chin-Lift technique:
Place fingers of one hand under the mandible and lift it upwards to bring
chin anterior. Open the mouth with the thumb of the same hand.
Describe Jaw-Thrust technique:
Grasp the angles of the jaw and then displace the mandible forward (e.g.
into the facemask to get a better seal).
Nasopharyngeal Airway insertion technique:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ensure no contraindications (nasal trauma, suspicion of cribriform
    plate injury).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Lubricate the device.
