Question 1 of 5

1. Question
Which one of the following statements regarding basic airway management is true?
- Fogging of the oxygen mask indicates adequate ventilation
- A pillow placed under the occiput effectively flexes the neck in relation to the torso
- Obese unconscious patients are likely to require more than one pillow under the occiput to enhance airway patency
- A chin-lift manoeuvre should not be attempted in patients with a fixed neck deformity
Question 2 of 5

2. Question
Which one of the following statements regarding airway adjuncts is true?
- Use of an oropharyngeal airway is recommended in fitting patients
- Comparison with the width of the patient's little finger is no longer recommended for sizing a nasopharyngeal airway
- The nasopharyngeal airway is contraindicated if the patient has a positive Battle's sign
- Use the other nostril If there is resistance to nasopharyngeal airway insertion, despite an apparently patent nostril
Question 3 of 5

3. Question
Which one of the following statements regarding bag-mask ventilation is false?
- A jaw thrust is a more appropriate airway opening manoeuvre than a chin-lift when used with bag-mask ventilation
- The reservoir bag attached to the self-inflating bag should be at least an equivalent size
- The one-way valve in the bag-mask apparatus helps prevent aspiration
- Bag-mask ventilation with partial airway obstruction increases the likelihood of regurgitation
Question 4 of 5

4. Question
Which of the following statements regarding basic airway management is true?
- Gentle suctioning of the oropharynx is a useful procedure to assess the patient's airway reflexes
- Trauma patients should have in-line immobilisation maintained irrespective of difficulties in achieving airway patency
- Blind suctioning of the oro- and laryngopharynx using a soft tip narrow bore catheter placed through the lumen of a suitably sized oropharyngeal airway is recommended in unconscious patients who regurgitate fluids
- Use of the maximum negative pressure the suction apparatus can generate is normally advised
Question 5 of 5

5. Question
Which of the following statements regarding basic airway management is true?
- Soft tip fine bore catheters can be passed through both oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways
- Extension of the neck on the torso is a key component of the sniffing position
- The nasopharyngeal airway is designed to relieve airway obstruction caused by posterior displacement of the tongue
- Insertion of an appropriate sized nasopharyngeal airway in patients with stridor is normally beneficial
