A little further Viva intelligence

EI has heard about some more exam questions that have come up in the vivas this week, so here we go:

-Describe the pathophysiology of ARDS
-Describe your management of a patient with ARDS
-How do you optimise PEEP?
-How do you optimise PEEP if you don't have fancy ventilators(!)?

-Draw a saggital section of the eye.
-Describe the anatomy.
-Mark the insertion of the conjunctiva into the sclera.
-Why is the anatomy of the eye important to anaesthetists?

A physics/measurement question on CPX and examining a CPX test result came up.

Future Sounds...
Keep an eye on this blog for some well researched answers to the questions that have come up in this last Final FRCA Exam.
Also, as the next sitting approaches, EI will bring together more resources, and simplified explanations of topics that might come up. Hopefully we can help others achieve the same success we have, by sharing some of our revision tips and tricks, and some of the cunning ploys we adopted.
We welcome any suggestions and questions, please feel free to comment or contact EI on the email link in the right-hand column.

If you have a topic you struggle with, ask us, and we will try to help.

If you are still waiting to take your viva tomorrow: GOOD LUCK!
