Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: The goals of mechanical ventilatory support of parenchymal lung injury have shifted over the last decade to providing smaller tidal volumes, and accepting consequently lower arterial values for Po2 and the development of respiratory acidosis. These goals have resulted in significant improvements in outcomes.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: APRV is a pressure-targeted mode of ventilation. APRV allows for spontaneous breathing to occur during the inflation phase. This capability allows for the use of long inflation times to recruit alveoli while enabling patients to continue to breathe spontaneously. Taken together, the long inflation times (often resulting in intrinsic PEEP) can be considered an alternative way to raise mean pressures and maintain recruitment without applying additional PEEP or Vt.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.

Did you know?

Serum cholesterol testing in adults is recommended every 1 to 5 years. People with diabetes and a family history of high cholesterol should be tested even more frequently.

Did you know?

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Did you know?

Approximately 15–25% of recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage. However, many miscarriages often occur before a woman even knows she is pregnant.

Critical care patients are twice as likely to receive the wrong medication. Of these errors, 20% are life-threatening, and 42% require additional life-sustaining treatments.
