Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Stridor is often treated with epinephrine (2.25 racemic solution or levoepinephrine 1:1000) via aerosol.

Answer to Question 2

Whereas laryngeal lesions occur only with oral or nasal endotracheal tubes, tracheal lesions can occur with any tracheal airway. These tracheal lesions are granulomas, tracheomalacia, and tra-cheal stenosis.
