What are the causes of continued ventilator dependency in a patient whose respiratory failure stabilizes and begins to reverse? I. gas exchange concerns II. mechanical issues III. inappropriate ventilator settings IV. inability to ascertain time to initiate weaning
 
  A. I, II only
  B. III, IV only
  C. I, III, IV onlyD. I, II, III, IV

Question 2

According to the Task Force (described on page 318 in the text), what measurement or indicator is best to judge the success or failure of an SBT?

Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: As respiratory failure stabilizes and begins to reverse, clinical attention should shift to the ventilator withdrawal process. In these patients, continued ventilator dependency is caused by two fundamental problems: (1) disease-imposed problems, such as mechanical/gas exchange issues that continue to require positive-pressure ventilation, and (2) clinician-imposed issues, including either clinician delay in recognizing the ability of a patient to have the ventilator discontinued or inappropriate ventilator settings that overload respiratory muscles, preventing recovery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A. Correct response: The task force recommends that no single measurement or indicator be used to judge the success or failure of an SBT. Rather, an integrated assessment of the respiratory pattern, hemodynamic status, gas exchange, and patient comfort should be used.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
