When the ventilator delivers a breath every 5 sec, and the patient cannot
initiate a breath, it is operating under the
Mechanical Ventilation Trial Quizzes
Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a form of with two
distinct pressure levels.
A. pressure-controlled
ventilation B. volume-
controlled ventilation
C. continuous positive airway pressure
D. positive end-expiratory pressure - C. continuous positive airway pressure
During volume-controlled ventilation, the is variable depending on
the compliance and airflow resistance characteristics of the patient's
lungs.
A. peak inspiratory
pressure B. tidal volume
C. peak flow
D. inspiratory time - A. peak inspiratory pressure
The ventilator is a controller if the pressure waveform does not
change when airflow resistance and compliance are changed.
A.
pressure
B. flow
C. volume
D. A or B - A. pressure
Immediately after intubation, the therapist must:
A. confirm the endotracheal tube placement with a chest
radiograph. B. tilt and place the head into a sniffing position.
C. displace the patient's tongue to the left side.
D. inflate the cuff and check for bilateral breath sounds. - D. inflate the
cuff and check for bilateral breath sounds.
A. SIMV; time-triggered
B. SIMV; pressure-
triggered C. control;
time-triggered.
D. control; pressure-triggered - C. control; time-triggered.
In mechanical ventilation, pressure is required to overcome the:
