What conclusion has been drawn regarding the use HFOV in terms of limiting the development of VILI?
 
  A. HFOV is useful in limiting VILI in patients with ALI.
  B. HFOV is useful in limiting VILI in patients with ALI when low FIO2s are used.
  C. HFOV is useful in limiting VILI in patients with ALI when high FIO2s are used.
  D. The data did not detect any difference between HFOV and conventional, low-VT ventilation in limiting VILI in patients with ALI.

Question 2

What conclusions were drawn from the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Network (ARDSnet) study regarding ventilator-induced lung injury?
 
  A. The tidal volume used to ventilate a patient is not as important as the pressure delivered to the lungs.
  B. Low tidal volume ventilation attenuates ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).
  C. Plateau pressure levels are the most important consideration in preventing VILI.
  D. PEEP levels used in conjunction with mechanical ventilation are the most important consideration in minimizing VILI?

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: The trial conducted to determine if HFOV might be a modality to limit VILI in patients with ALI was underpowered. The comparison of HFOV and conventional, low-VT ventilation (6-10 ml/kg actual body weight; mean 8 ml/kg) proved inconclusive, and further randomized trials are needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: When the ARDSnet study was terminated, mortality was reduced from 40 to 31 with low tidal volume intervention. Patients receiving lower tidal volumes had significantly more ventilator-free days. The ARDSnet trial clearly established the benefits of using low tidal volumes to ventilate patients with ALI and presented compelling evidence in humans for VILI.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.
