39
Q

What is proper FiO2?

A

21%, higher if sicker

40
Q

Term: IMV

A

Regular breaths scheduled

Adjusted to pt need

41
Q

Term: PSV

A

Pt initiates breath and ventilator delivers preset value support

42
Q

Term: PEEP

A

Pressure support during inspiration to keep alveoli from collapsing
Higher = more ill

43
Q

Term: CPAP

A

Helps keep airway open so they don’t collapse

Use for vent weaning

Provide airway access when on ventilator
Post Facial trauma

48
Q
