Q

PPV settings (CPAP and PEEP)

A

increase intrathoracic pressure . Pulmonary compliance determines the extent of this pressure. Small changes in pressure cause large change in lung volume

22
Q

The goal of PEEP is to

A

Improve the patient’s arterial oxygenation

23
Q

Employing PEEP elevated the

A

FRC and TV to a value greater than the closing capacity to result in improved compliance and a degree of resolution of ventilation /perfusion mismatch and the degree of pulmonary shunting.

24
Q

The constant pressure from PEEP or CPAP act to

A

Stabilize and maintain expansion of the alveoli

25
Q

When excess PEEP is added (greater than 20cm H2O) Which negative effects occur

A

Pneumomediastinum
Subcutaenous emphysema
Pneumoretroperitoneum
Pneumopericardium

26
Q

Excessive PEEP and WOB

A

Increased by reducing lung compliance and increasing dead-space ventilation

27
Q

Ventilatory component that increase the risk of barotrauma

A

Young age
Vent setting with high RR , there is stacking of breaths
Increase TV 10-15ml/kg

28
Q

Which of the following is the highest circuit pressure generated during an INSPIRATORY cycle?

A

PEAK INSPIRATORY PRESSURE (PIP)

29
Q

PIP is an indication of

A

Dynamic compliance of the lungs

30
Q

Is there any contraindications to analyzing anesthetic gases during any procedure requiring inhalational anesthesia?

A

31
Q

Gases measured by standard OR gas analyzers include

A

Oxygen
Nitrogen
Anesthetic agent

32
Q

Which oxygen analyzer is self -calibrating?

A

Paramagnetic

33
Q

Which statement is true regarding pulse oximetry?

(A) Pulse oximetry artifact is due to excessive

A

ambient light, motion, and methylene ,blue dye.

34
Q

In the normal capnograph, what does Phase III indicate?
