RCP 130 MIDTERM | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
2026 UPDATE | WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION
heliox therapy Answer - -effective in treating acute obstructive disorders
-decreases RR, level of dyspnea, & need for intubation & mech/vent in patients
with reversible obstructive disorders
-management of post extubation stridor in pediatric trauma patients, acute
severe asthma, & croup
80:20 Answer - 1.8 x LPM
70:30 Answer - 1.6 x LPM
nitric oxide: Answer - used for pulmonary hypertension in peds & adults
pulmonary vasodilator; relaxes smooth muscle; improved blood flow to alveoli;
improves V/Q mismatch Answer - nitric oxide
therapeutic benefits of nitric oxide: Answer - improved blood flow to
ventilated alveoli, reduction in shunting, improved PaO2, decreased PVR & PAP
nitric oxide therapeutic range: Answer - 2 to 20 ppm & initial dose of 20 ppm
, uses of nitric oxide: Answer - -ARDS
-persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn
-acute pulmonary embolism
-COPD
cylinder manifold system Answer - large (H or K size) cylinders of compressed
gas; has 2 sides, primary & reserve banks; have pressure reducing valves
cylinder supply w/ reserve Answer - consists of primary, secondary, & reserve
supply
bulk gas system w/ reserve Answer - hold at least 20,000 cubic feet of gas;
stored in gas or liquid form; cost effective; used in large medical facilities
most medical gas cylinders of any size are filled to the same high pressure of:
Answer - 2200-2500 psig
ASSS (American Standard Safety System) Answer - for high pressure threaded
connections on large H cylinders
PISS (Pin Index Safety System) Answer - high pressure, yoke type connections
on small E cylinders
DISS (Diameter Index Safety System) Answer - low pressure (<200 psi)
threaded connections on quick connect/wall attachments
