0:21 What are the six airway structures of the upper airway

0:49: What is the parietal pleura?

3:36 What four steps are required for the Jaw Thrust Maneuver?

6:31 What is angioedema?

Once we’ve asked you a question, try to think of the answer from memory. You’ll have three seconds to answer so pause the video if you need to.) We’ll then reveal the answer, which you can review before we move on to the next question.

We move pretty quickly through these practice paramedic questions so don’t hesitate to hit the spacebar if you need more time to digest the answers!
