Exam Preview for 1505: Unconventional and Advanced Modes of Ventila

Unconventional and Advanced Modes of Ventilation

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. What components of mechanical ventilation help to "guarantee" the adequacy of gas exchange? Minute Ventilation PEEP FiO2 All of the above
2. When differentiating types of support, partial support ventilation involves: Patient's respiratory muscles to provide most of the power of breathing Mandatory rate increases Eliminating spontaneous breathing A fixed inspiratory time
3. What are some alternative modes of ventilation? Pressure Support (PS) Synchronized Intermittent-Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) Assist-Control Ventilation (ACV)
4. Which of the following may be common reasons to implement proportional modes of ventilation? Permits the patient to receive all breaths with the same volume Balances unloading work of breathing and relinquishing control of ventilation to the patient Senses patient inspiratory effort and prolongs ventilator dependency Increases the risk of continuous hyperinflation
5. Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) may be an alternative to conventional or “traditional” modes of ventilation due to: Preservation of spontaneous breathing Reduction of sedatives, analgesics, and neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) Hemodynamically advantageous All of the above
