Q

how fast the machine responds. usually at 0.08 seconds. cannot be adjusted?

A

response time

30
Q

machine begins inspiration when patient starts to inspire and removes a small amount of volume from the circuit which creates negative pressure?
there will be a drop below baseline

A

-pressure triggered (assist)

31
Q

breaths may not occur at equal, timed intervals

A

(assist) pressure control

32
Q

a patient has a baseline of 10cmH20 the sensitivity is set at -2cmH20 at what pressure will the ventilator sense a patient effort and start inspiration?

A

8 from base line

33
Q

a continuous supply of low level flow is delivered past the patient during expiration is known as what trigger?

A

flow trigger (flow-by)

34
Q

flow measuring devices are positioned at inlet and outlet side of circuit to compare flow. ________ triggering occurs when the net difference reaches a pre-selected level.

A

flow

35
Q

patient has access to continuous flow during “response time” which lowers work of breathing what trigger is this?

A

flow triggered

36
Q

for flow trigger the base flow must be at least twice the _____ flow

A

trigger

37
Q

flow triggering can cause _______breaths due to leaks or movement caused by turbulent gas flow through circuit

A

spurious (auto trigger)

38
Q

what does bias flow mean?

A

constant flow through machine

39
Q

don’t forget to look over important slide on page

A

11 of power point slide

40
Q

the machine cycles when a preset volume has been removed from the circuit. what are 2 machines that have this cycle capability? (volume cylcle)

A
  • dragger babylog

- cardiopulmonary ventrui

41
Q

a ______ button on the machine, when pushed, will initiate a positive pressure breath?

A

manual

42
Q

one of the four physical parameters that can be reached but not exceed during a breath?

A

limits of ventilation

43
Q

reaching a limit does not _____ the breath?

A

end

44
Q

A

volume limited

45
Q

the machine signal the i -time display and will not permit patient to trigger a breath till a set time

A

time limited

46
Q

what is a example of a ventilator that is time limited?

A

bear cub

47
Q

during PSV and PCV the pressure is increased to pre-set level at the beginning of inspiration and is held at the airway until the breath ends is known as ?

A

pressure limit

48
Q

can be used as a pressure pop-off to limit the amount of pressure in the airway but if reached will not terminate the breath is know as what?

A

pressure limit

49
Q

what is a example of a pressure limit ventilator ?

A

NC humidifier

50
Q

what is more comfortable of a patient pressure control or volume control?
