Q1 · Confirming Tube Placement
NEET PGMediumExplanation
A sustained end-tidal CO2 waveform on capnography is the gold standard for confirming tracheal rather than oesophageal intubation, as continued CO2 return indicates ventilation of the lungs. Auscultation and chest movement are supportive but less reliable.
Q2 · Rapid Sequence Induction
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Rapid sequence induction aims to secure the airway quickly and minimise aspiration risk, using a rapid-onset induction agent and a fast-acting muscle relaxant — suxamethonium or high-dose rocuronium — traditionally with cricoid pressure and minimal bag-mask ventilation.
Q3 · Laryngeal Mask Airway
EasyExplanation
An LMA is a supraglottic device sitting over the laryngeal inlet, providing a hands-free airway without tracheal intubation. It is useful for suitable elective cases and as a rescue device in difficult airways, but offers less protection against aspiration than a cuffed tracheal tube.
Q4 · Cannot Intubate, Cannot Oxygenate
HardExplanation
In a 'cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate' situation, after failed intubation, supraglottic airway, and bag-mask ventilation, emergency front-of-neck access by cricothyroidotomy is the final life-saving step to restore oxygenation.
Q5 · Laryngospasm
MediumExplanation
Laryngospasm, reflex vocal cord closure, is first managed with 100% oxygen, gentle positive pressure, and a jaw thrust, removing any stimulus. If it persists and causes hypoxia, a small dose of suxamethonium relaxes the cords.
Q6 · Preoxygenation
EasyExplanation
Preoxygenation, or denitrogenation, fills the lungs' functional residual capacity with oxygen, extending the time a patient can tolerate apnoea during intubation before desaturating. It is especially important in rapid sequence induction and difficult airways.
Q7 · Endobronchial Intubation
HardExplanation
An over-advanced endotracheal tube usually enters the right main bronchus, which is wider, shorter, and more vertical, leading to ventilation of only the right lung and collapse or hypoventilation of the left. Auscultation and capnography help detect this.
Airway Management sits within Anaesthesia, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 7 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 2 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Airway Management marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Anaesthesia examiners keep returning to.
FAQ
Yes. Every question and explanation in this Airway Management set is free and open — no login, no form and no payment. The explanation appears the moment you answer.
Airway Management sits within Anaesthesia, which appears in the same form in both syllabuses. Airway, anaesthetic drugs and peri-operative care, one of the most repetitive small subjects in the paper.
