FCCS Post Test Review questions with
correct answers
Most important indicator that a patient has a severe illness? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Tachypnea
3 respiratory types, and their criteria - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | |
Hypoxemic (PaO2 <50-60) | |
Hypercapnic (PaCO2 >50, pH <7.36) | | | |
Mixed
Delta gap (formula, when and why it's used) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | | |
Difference in AG from normal - Difference in HCO3 from normal
| | | | | | | | | |
In AG metabolic acidosis it's used. It tells you if there's underlying
| | | | | | | | | | | |
metabolic alkalosis or respiratory acidosis with bicarb compensation IN
| | | | | | | | |
ADDITION to the AG metabolic acidosis. Both of those would result in a
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
high bicarb to begin with, and a smaller change in bicarb from normal.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Winter's formula (equation, what it measures) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | |
1.5[HCO3] + 8 +/- 2 | | | |
If compensation is adequate in acid/base issues
| | | | | |
, How AG changes with albumin changes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | |
Decreases 2.5-3 for every 1 decrease in albumin
| | | | | | |
Hemodynamic changes after intubation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | |
Hypo/hypertension
Arrhythmia
Tachycardia
Pressure support equation for BiPAP - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-IPAP -
| | | | | | | | |
EPAP
3 types of vent cycles - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Volume (preset tidal
| | | | | | | | | |
volume, relieves WOB the most)
| | | |
Time (constant pressure of time)
| | | |
Flow (constant pressure until inspiratory flow is below 25% of peak)
| | | | | | | | | |
Goal tidal volume - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-10 cc/kg
| | | | | |
Goal FiO2 on vent - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Start at 1.0, then decrease
| | | | | | | | | | |
as SpO2 tolerates (goal of 92-94 saturation)
| | | | | |
