just olya [345]

By measuring the anatomical landmark from the earlobe to the nose of the patient.

The oropharyngeal airway is an intraoral J-shaped medical device, which is inserted in the mouth of a patient who is unconscious like in paralysis condition etc.  It is important to select the appropriate size of the oropharyngeal airway tube before inserting it into the patient's mouth to avoid any complications.

Hyperventilation causes a retention of carbon dioxide and an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration of the blood.
padilas [110]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Hyperventilation is a condition when the rate of breathing increases resulting in the loss of more carbon dioxide from the body than the amount that the body can produce., thus dis balancing the equilibrium between the oxygen intake and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body and reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide from the blood.

With the reduced concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood the equilibrium of the carbonic acid in the blood is disturbed resulting in increase of hydrogen concentration in the blood.

Thus Hyperventilation causes reduction of carbon dioxide from the blood. Hence the statement is false as retention of carbon dioxide will cause increase in  concentration of carbon dioxide.
