RCP130 CLO#3 | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 2026
UPDATE | 100% CORRECT
What are therapeutic gases used for? Answer - Used to relieve symptoms and
improve oxygenation of patients with hypoxemia. (O2, O2-NO, O2-He)
What is Helium? Answer - A rare gas naturally occurring in the atmosphere and
is colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless, and nonflammable.
Helium has a LOWER density than what? Answer - air and oxygen
Helium does not support what? Answer - combustion or life, therefore must
be delivered with at least 20% of O2.
Helium and oxygen mixtures are referred to as what? Answer - Heliox
What mixture can be given to a patient with severe asthma to reduce WOB and
reduce turbulent flow? Answer - A mixture of O2 and helium ( Heliox)
80/20 mix calculation Answer - 1.8 x greater than L/Min
giving 80/20 with a flow of 10LPM the actual flow is 18
( 10 x 1.8)
