Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: Estimates are that traditional standard care approaches result in the ventilator discontinuation process constituting up to 40 of the patient's mechanical ventilation time.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation C.
C. Correct response: Although the majority of lung transplant recipients can be weaned and extubated within 48 hours following transplantation, a portion will have increasing needs for ventilatory support because of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Data suggest that incidence can be reduced by the use of low potassium preservation fluids, avoidance of donor lung hyperinflation, and controlled flow reperfusion with leukocyte depletion. Diuresis and supportive care are cornerstones of management. Ischemia-reperfusion injury in the single lung transplant patient with emphysema may respond to conservative measures. Bronchial hygiene therapy should be used. The patient should be positioned with the better functioning lung down, which in the case of significant reperfusion injury means the allograft side up, to increase perfusion to the more functioning lung. Acceptance of a respiratory acidosis may be preferable to interventions, which may lead to worsening hyperexpansion. In refractory cases, effective use of independent lung ventilation has been described. With the use of a dual lumen ETT and separate ventilators, the native lung can be ventilated with low PEEP and low tidal volumes to decrease hyperexpansion. Simultaneously, the dysfunctioning allograft can receive increasing levels of PEEP to facilitate recruitment. However, the narrow limit of the dual lumen tubes is prone to obstruction, and frequent suctioning is required.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation C

Walt Disney helped combat malaria by making an animated film in 1943 called The Winged Scourge. This short film starred the seven dwarfs and taught children that mosquitos transmit malaria, which is a very bad disease. It advocated the killing of mosquitos to stop the disease.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
