Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Specifically, heliox has been used to manage asthmatic patients with acute respiratory failure, to treat postextubation stridor in pediatric trauma patients, as an adjunct in the treatment of pediat-ric patients with refractory croup, to administer anesthetic gases to patients via small-diameter endotracheal tubes, and to provide ventilatory support for patients with severe airway obstruction caused by chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Heliox mixtures have been used on a limited basis to treat patients with airway obstruction, spe-cifically in the management of asthmatic patients with acute respiratory failure.
