A male infant born at 36 weeks gestation was delivered by
Cesarean section. The newborn is exhibiting signs of
respiratory distress including nasal flaring and mild
retractions. Physical examination reveals HR 160/min, RR
52/min, BP 60/40 mmHg. The chest radiograph indicates
some scattered densities. The respiratory therapist should
recommend

a. nasal CPAP at 5cmH2O
b. BiPAP ventilation
c. 40% oxygen via hood
d. arterial blood gases - Answer-d. arterial blood gases
A patient in the intensive care unit has the following
hemodynamic measurements:
CVP 6 mmHg
Mean PAP 13 mmHg
PCWP 7 mmHg
MAP 86 mmHg
Cardiac output 4.0L/min
Cardiac index 2.1L/min2
What is the systemic vascular resistance?
a. 800 dynes/s/cm5

c. 1600 dynes/s/cm5
d. 2400 dynes/s/cm5 - Answer-c. 1600 dynes/s/cm5`
(MAP - CVP) / CO X 80
The chest X-ray show increased retro-sternal air, flat
hemidiaphragm, decreased movement, and no vascular
markings on the right side. These signs would be most
likely associated with:
a. pneumothorax
b. pleaural effusion
c. pneumonia
d. flail chest - Answer-a. pneumothorax
A 32-week gestational age infant is receiving mechanical
ventilation for hyaline membrane disease. The patient
required a chest tube for a persistent pneumothorax. Two
days later the chest radiograph reveals bilateral
radiolucency, midline mediastinum, and the right
hemidiaphragm slightly elevated. This would indicate
a. atelectasis

b. bronchopulmonary dysplasia
c. fluid overload
d. resolution of a pneumothorax - Answer-d. resolution of a
pneumothorax

with which of the following conditions?
a. bronchiectasis
b. congestive heart failure
c. pneumonia
d. croup - Answer-b. congestive heart failure
