is 6cm H2O. Which ventilator manipulation might help
this patient the most?
A. increase the RR by 8 breaths/min
B. decrease the insp. time
C. decrease the peak inspiratory flow

ceiving mechanical ventilation in the puressure con- then increasing
trol mode with the following current settings. PIP 14, the PIP
PEEP 5, FIO2 0.50, RR 28,. The pt has poor chest rise
bilaterally, and the breath sounds are underaerated
with faint wheezes. You notice that the measured tidal
volume is 3ml/kg and the RR is 80. THe pt has nasal
flaring, retractions, and head bobbing. What should be
suggested at this time?
A. placing the pt on a high frequency oscillator
B suctioning and then increasing PIP
C. decreasing RR
D. using a neuromuscular blocking agent

rotating vane at a high velocity
B. Pulsing gas down the ET tube at a high velocity

the piston moves back the piston moves
B. exhalation is passive, whereas the HFJV gas is back
pulled out via a Venturi effect
C. exhalation is active during HFOV due to a separate
rate vacuum assist device.
D. exhaled gases passively exit the patient due to
passive chest recoil
14. Which of the following most accurately describes the C. I, III, IV

relationship of lung volume in a restrictive disease

ventilation perfusion matching
II. increasing Paw increases the pressure gradient,
allowing more oxygen to cross the alveolar capillary
membrane.

perfusion matching is impared
