33
An operator sets a predetermined number of positive breaths, but patient can also breathe spontaneously with what form of ventilation?
Intermittent mandatory ventilation
34
What is applied when positive pressure is maintained between inspirations that are delivered by a ventilator?
Positive end-expiratory pressure
35
Spontaneous breathing with positive pressure during both inspiratory and expiratory cycles is known as what?
Continuous positive airway pressure
36
Closing the pop-off valve and squeezing the reservoir bag until 10-20 cm H2O is reached and then the pop-off valve is reopened so the patient can passively expire is known at what?
Manual intermittent positive pressure ventilation
37
What are 6 reasons a patient might require mechanical ventilation?
- Respiratory center depression - Inability to adequately expand thorax - Airway obstruction - Inability to adequately expand lungs - Cardiopulmonary arrest - Pulmonary edema or pulmonary insufficiency
38
Is negative pressure generated during inspiration with mechanical ventilation?
No
39
What might IPPV physically impede?
Venous return to the right side of the heart.
40
The CV effects of mechanical ventilation can be overcome often with what?
Expansion of extracellular fluid volume and administration of inotropic drugs.
41
Excessive or sustained pressure from IPPV can lead to what?
Over expansion and volutrauma.
