What fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2) setting should be set on the ventilator when the patient currently has a partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) of 53 mm Hg while receiving 50 oxygen and the desired PaO2 is 90 mm Hg?
 
  a. 0.64
  b. 0.74
  c. 0.85
  d. 0.95

Question 2

A mechanically ventilated patient is going to be placed on pressure support ventilation following an acceptable spontaneous weaning trial.
 
  The patient is a 5'9 male who weighs 185 lb. During volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (VC-CMV) his average peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) was about 26 cm H2O and the plateau pressure (PPlateau) was 16 cm H2O. What initial pressure support level should be set?
  a. 5 cm H2O
  b. 10 cm H2O
  c. 15 cm H2O
  d. 20 cm H2O

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The easiest way to establish the initial setting for pressure support ventilation (PSV) is to set it equal to the transairway pressure (peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)  plateau pressure (Pplateau)).

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage. Any exposure to sunlight adds to the cumulative effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on your eyes. UV exposure has been linked to eye disorders such as macular degeneration, solar retinitis, and corneal dystrophies.

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.
