A patient's baseline arterial blood gas (ABG) reveals a partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) of 78 mm Hg while receiving 35 supplemental oxygen.
 
  What should the ventilator fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2) be set at to obtain a target PaO2 of 95 mm Hg?
  a. 0.34
  b. 0.43
  c. 0.55
  d. 0.67

Question 2

The mode of ventilation that provides pressure-limited, time-cycled breaths that use a set tidal volume as a feedback control is which of the following?
 
  a. Pressure support ventilation (PSV)
  b. Pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC)
  c. Pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV)
  d. Bilevel positive airway pressure (Bilevel PAP)

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is pressure-limited and flow-cycled. Pressure regulated vol-ume control (PRVC) is a dual control mode of ventilation that provides the benefits of pressure breathing along with targeting a set volume. These breaths are pressure-limited, time-cycled, and use tidal volume as a feedback. The pressure is adjusted by the ventilator to meet the set volume. Pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) is pressure-limited and time-cycled but does not have a volume feedback system. Bilevel PAP is similar to PC-CMV in that it is pressure-limited and time-cycled with no volume feedback.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

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.
