CHARGE syndrome includes all of the following clinical features EXCEPT
++
++
++
++
++
B. trachea-esophageal fistula
++
++
C. cranial nerve anomalies
++
++
++
++
+
++
(D) Congenital cataract is not one of the clinical features of a child with the CHARGE syndrome.
++
++
++
Prior to proceeding to front of neck access, all of the following interventions should be performed EXCEPT
++
++
++
++
++
B. prep the neck with iodine
++
++
C. administer 100% oxygen
++
++
++
++
E. insert a rigid bronchoscope
+
++
(B) Preparing the neck with iodine is not one of the critical steps to improve oxygenation in a “can’t intubate, can’t oxygenate” situation.
++
++
++
The following details regarding front of neck access (FONA) are correct EXCEPT
++
++
++
A. A size 15 scalpel is 4-mm wide.
++
++
B. The maximum pressure in the Manujet III TTJV baby range is 14.5 psi.
++
++
C. A 14-Fr Frova intubating catheter can accommodate a size 5.0-mm ID ETT
++
++
D. The Ventrain creates a subatmospheric pressure up to −217 cm H2O.
++
++
E. The APLS guidelines recommend 4 L·min−1 flow through a Y-connector for a 4-year-old.
+
++
(C) A 6.0-mm internal diameter (ID) is the smallest ETT that will accommodate a 14-French (4.6 mm outside diameter) Frova intubating catheter. A smaller 8-French (2.6 mm outside diameter) Frova intubating catheter can easily accommodate a size 4.0-mm ID ETT.
