2. The average diameter of the adult trachea is:
3. The diameter of the adult trachea corresponds best to:
4. The accurate method(s) of cuff inflation:
5. Endotracheal tube pilot balloons should be inflated to a cuff pressure of between ___________ and ___________cm H₂O pressure.
6. The injection and palpation technique of cuff inflation is accurate and safe.
7. Tracheal perfusion pressure is __________ cm H₂O pressure
8. The length of time a high pressured ETT cuff can be in place before complications develop is:
9. Average time from intubation to the diagnosis of subglottic stenosis is:
10. Name two complications of an over-inflated and an under-inflated ETT cuff:
11. The artery(s) that supplies the subglottic region of the trachea is:
13. The cuff of the ETT is low pressure:
14. Routine standard size ETTs are based on sound scientific data:
15. The cuff pressure when tracheal perfusion is compromised: ____________cm H₂O pressure.
16. The cuff pressure that places patients at risk of aspiration: ____________cm H₂O pressure.
