Respiratory

Question 1

IPPB

Intermittent positive pressure breathing

Answer 1

Inspiration by positive airway pressure; expiration is passive.

Question 2

CVM/ACV

Continuous mandatory ventilation

Answer 2

Total support ventilation with set ventilation rate and set tidal volume. Client-initiated breaths receive set volume and if client does not initiate breathe, set rate and volume are guaranteed.

Question 3

SIMV

Synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation.

Answer 3

Spontaneous ventilation intermittently augmented by positive pressure ventilation.

Question 4

PEEP

Positive end-expiratory pressure

Answer 4

Te airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric at the end of expiration. Stimulates surfactant production, increases functional residual capacity.

Question 5

CPAP

Continuous positive airway pressure

Answer 5

Spontaneous ventilation with maintenance of airway pressures above atmospheric throughout the respiratory cycle.
