Post-Quiz

During mechanical ventilation, what primarily influences oxygenation?

• Minute ventilation

• Respiratory rate

• PEEP and Fio2

• Choices a and b

In ARDS, one is NOT a maneuver to improve oxygenation

• Increasing the PEEP

• Proning

• Shortening the inspiratory time

• Recruiting lungs

In Dyssynchrony, which can NOT lead to high Ppeak and low Pplat:

• Bronchospasm

• Mucus Plugging

• Narrow ETT

• ARDS

In Asthma, what is the initial management to treat dynamic hyperinflation?

• Increase expiratory time

• Increase inspiratory time

• Increase respiratory rate

• Decrease inspiratory flow

Lung-protective ventilation includes which of the following measures?

• Reducing Minute Ventilation

• Maintaining Pplat less than 30 cm H2O

• Using a VT of 4 to 8 mL/kg ideal body weight

• Choices b and c

Auto PEEP can occur with:

• Inadequate flows

• Excessive tidal volume

• High respiratory rates

• a, b and c

Mechanical Ventilation for COPD does NOT include:

• Low I:E

• High Respiratory rate

• Low tidal volumes

• High Peak Flow

In Bronchopleural Fistula, which is NOT a goal of mechanical ventilation are:

• Minimize PEEP

• Short inspiratory time

• Permissive hypercapnia

• High tidal volumes

Goal of mechanical ventilation is to minimize flow across the fistula by keeping airway pressure below the critical opening pressure of the fistula.

• True

• False
