1. PATIENT ASSESSMENT:
All the following could cause capnography to go from 3 6 to 30 EXCEPT:
A. Endotracheal tube positioned in the right mainstream bronchus
B. Hyperventilation
C. pulmonary emboli
D. Hypovolemia: Endotracheal tube positioned in right mainstem
bronchus is aproblem but the co2 reading would not change, so
Answer : A.
2. What is the targetVt for individual on mechanical ventilation
Answer : 6-8 ml/kg (ofideal body weight) This is new strategy as of January 2015
3. Is the following Static OR Dynamic Compliance:
Means flow throughout the respiratory system has
,stopped and all ventila-tory muscle activity is absent. conditions can
be imposed
,with aninspiratory pause when a patient is sedated and mechanically ventilated
Answer : -Static Compliance
4. Is the following Static OR Dynamic Compliance:
Flow at airway opening is zero. Mechanics are evaluated under
conditions, when non-intubated patient breathes spontaneously Answer :
DynamicCompliance
5. A balloon tipped flow directed catheter is positioned in the
pulmonaryartery with the balloon deflated. Which of the following pressures
will bemeasured by the proximal lumen:
a. Cvp
b. Pap
c. Pwp
d. Map: Answer : A. Cvp = deflated/proximal lumen
Pap = deflated/distal
Pwp = inflated/wedged
6. All of the following will affect the accuracy of a capnography EXCEPT
a. Long sampling line
b. Low sampling flow
, c. Condensation in the tubing
d. Use of desiccant: Gas will pass through and out of a long sampling line
beforereaching analyzer so, low sampling flow will not give you enough
information for a good reading, and condensation as a rule is always a problem
especially in
