What are some primary uses for pressure-supported ventilation (PSV)? 1. Recruiting collapsed alveoli and improving oxygenation 2. Augmenting patient's spontaneous VT 3. Overcoming the imposed work of breathing
 
  a. 1 and 2 only
  b. 1 and 3 only
  c. 2 and 3 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Question 2

A patient switched from pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV)
 
  with positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) to pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (PC-IRV) shows a good improvement in PaO2 but a decrease in tissue oxygenation. Which of the following best explains this observation?
  a. High mean pressures caused by PC-IRV decreased pulmonary blood flow.
  b. Intrinsic PEEP caused by PC-IRV result-ed in increased alveolar recruitment.
  c. High mean pressures caused by PC-IRV decreased cardiac output.
  d. Intrinsic PEEP caused by PC-IRV com-pressed the pulmonary capillaries.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Since the first description of PSV in 1982, it has been used either to overcome the imposed re-sistance associated with the artificial airway or to provide ventilatory support with minimal con-trol.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although some studies have shown improvement in oxygenation with PC-IRV versus CMV with PEEP, others have shown concurrent decreases in cardiac output.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.
