Last 5 Years PYQs of INI-CET Anesthesia

Q1. A 42-year-old male who had tested positive for COVID-19 and was isolated at home presents to the emergency room with difficulty breathing. The patient is conscious and responsive but has an increased breathing rate. An oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurement reveals a reading of 86%.

What is the subsequent course of action in managing this patient?

1. Increase flow rate to 15 L/min
2. High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy
3. Endotracheal intubation
4. No specific intervention necessary

Ans. 2) High–flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy
