Q
  1. what are the 7 benefits of CPAP?

2. what does increasing FRC help to do? (hint: 6)

A
  1. improves oxygenation, decreases WOB, increases FRC, breathing pattern becomes regular, decreases central and obstructive apneas, keeps airways open and reduces inspiratory resistance by dilating the airways
  2. recruitment of collapsed alveoli, increased alveolar surface area, decreased intrapulmonary shunting, increased lung compliance, conserves surfactant, and decreases alveolar edema

Q
  1. what does fluidic flip action help to minimize and during what phase of the respiratory cycle?
  2. what is the expiratory tube connected to? what does it function as? what does this allow for? (hint: 2)

  2. not connected to anything!! - functions as a reservoir allowing patient to get more flow and O2 if they need it and maintains the pressure in the circuit
  3. as flow goes in, pulls in gas from reservoir as well so patient is getting enough flow
  4. gas flow flips and provides resistance when exhaling to maintain the pressure
