Moderate rises in pleural pressure during positive-pressure ventilation have a minimal effect on cardiac output in normal subjects. What are some reasons for this lack of effect?
 
  1. Compensatory dilation of the large arteries
  2. Compensatory increase in venomotor tone
  3. Compensatory increase in the cardiac rate
  a. 2 and 3 only
  b. 1 and 2 only
  c. 1, 2, and 3
  d. 1 and 3 only

Question 2

Which of the following parameters are set when volume-supported ventilation (VSV) is used? 1. Tidal volume 2. Maximum peak pressure 3. Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 4. Flow
 
  a. 1 and 3 only
  b. 2 only
  c. 1, 2, 3, and 4
  d. 1, 2, and 3 only

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Compensatory mechanisms used to counter the decrease in stroke volume include an increased heart rate, an increase in systemic vascular and peripheral venous resistance, and shunting of blood away from the kidneys and lower extremities, which results in a consistent blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In VSV, a desired tidal volume, maximum peak pressure, FiO2, and PEEP are set.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
