🫁 FRCA Primary-style SBA questions covering gas exchange, ventilation, respiratory control, and clinical physiology — based on Miller’s, Barash, Lange, and Nunn’s. For trainees and anesthetists preparing for the exam.
📘 What You’ll Learn
The respiratory system forms the foundation of perioperative physiology, making it one of the most critical areas for success in the FRCA Primary Examination. This module provides targeted Single Best Answer (SBA) questions that reflect the exam’s scope while reinforcing applied understanding of lung mechanics, gas exchange, and ventilatory control.
🌬️ Pulmonary compliance and resistance
🧪 Oxygen and carbon dioxide transport
🫁 Ventilation–perfusion relationships and shunt
🧠 Neural control of respiration
💨 Dead space, lung volumes, and capacity
🛌 Effects of anesthesia and positioning on the respiratory system
🩻 Respiratory investigations: capnography, oximetry, spirometry
✅ FRCA-style SBA questions based on official syllabus
📘 Clear, concise explanations to reinforce concepts
🧠 Focus on applied physiology and clinical integration
📚 Referenced from:
• Miller’s Anesthesia
