Answer an EDAIC-style question

This is one exam-format Part 1 multiple-true-false question from our bank. Mark each statement true or false, then see the worked answer.

EDAIC Part 1 · Paper APhysiology and Biochemistry

Regarding the pathophysiology of oxygen delivery and consumption in circulatory shock:

Mark each statement true or false:

  • In healthy adults at rest, systemic oxygen delivery is approximately 1000 mL/min while oxygen consumption is about 250 mL/min, creating a physiological oxygen reserve.

  • When systemic oxygen delivery decreases, oxygen consumption immediately falls in direct proportion, indicating supply dependency at all levels of DO₂.

  • Cardiac output is determined by the product of heart rate and stroke volume, with stroke volume being influenced by preload, afterload, and myocardial contractility.

  • The unifying feature of all forms of shock, regardless of aetiology, is acute circulatory failure associated with inadequate cellular oxygen utilisation.

  • In septic shock, early goal-directed therapy targeting supranormal oxygen delivery values has been shown to consistently reduce mortality across all patient populations.

The reality

EDAIC Part I passes roughly 60% of candidates. 4 out of 10 come back next year with the same notes, the same method, the same result.

Four steps. Zero filler.

Built around one idea: the exam has a structure. Your prep should mirror it, not translate it.

Quick ReviewStandardDeep DiveExam Summary

Shunt and dead space sit at opposite ends of the V/Q spectrum. True shunt does not respond to 100% oxygen — a fact tested almost every cycle. Anatomical shunt averages 2–5% of cardiac output…

Regarding spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section:
A
Hypotension is more common than with epidural.

B
Bradycardia results from blockade of T1–T4 cardiac fibres.

C
Aortocaval compression is unrelated to maternal hypotension.

D
Phenylephrine is preferred over ephedrine.

EXPLANATION · C
Aortocaval compression by the gravid uterus reduces venous return — a primary driver of supine hypotension. Left lateral tilt mitigates it.

The platform

Everything you need for Part I.
Nothing extra.

Mastery & readiness

A heatmap across the syllabus and a readiness score grounded in your activity — not a fake pass-fail prediction.

True EDAIC MTF format

Spaced repetition

Flashcards graduate intervals based on your ratings. We bring back exactly what you're about to forget.

Weakness mode

Auto-curated practice from the subtopics you keep missing. Stop wasting reps.

Source-linked content

Lessons and explanations are mapped to the syllabus and carry references to the relevant source chapter and pages.

Realistic mocks, deep report

60-question Paper A or Paper B, blueprinted across topics, timed runner, and a post-exam report that tells you exactly what to study next.

AI, grounded

An AI tutor that connects answers to sources.

Our AI tutor uses the AnesCORE corpus — 675 lessons mapped to the EDAIC syllabus — to generate answers with source references you can check. Responses are generated automatically and may contain errors.

Ask in plain language

Type a question the way it lands in your head. The assistant retrieves relevant lessons and generates an answer with source references for you to check.

A study plan that adapts

Give it your exam date and target paper. It builds a day-by-day plan around your weakest subtopics and rebalances every night as your scores move.

Explanations on demand

Expand any MTF statement or flashcard into a focused explanation, tied back to the lesson it came from — so a wrong answer becomes the next thing you actually learn.

AnesCORE AI
Grounded in your corpus
Why doesn't a true shunt respond to 100% oxygen?
In a true shunt, blood bypasses ventilated alveoli entirely — so raising FiO₂ never reaches it. Even 100% O₂ leaves the shunt fraction unchanged, which is exactly why it's the bedside test to separate shunt from V/Q mismatch.

New · AnesDose

Hard concepts, drawn until they click.

AnesDose turns the parts of the syllabus you keep re-reading into short, animated explainers — every cascade, circuit and curve drawn step by step. No lectures, no fluff. Watch it build, and it stays.

Animated, not narrated

Each clip draws the mechanism in front of you — pathways, pressures and feedback loops assembling piece by piece. What a whiteboard does and a textbook can't.

Mapped to the EDAIC syllabus

Every clip is tied to a canonical EDAIC topic, so the animation remains connected to the exact part of the syllabus you are learning.

Made to be re-watched

Replay one before a mock, or loop the part that won't stick until the mechanism is yours — minutes of watching that replace an hour of re-reading.
