Mechanical Power During Mechanical Ventilation: What, How, Why, presented in partnership with the Society of Mechanical Ventilation

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Mechanical power (MP) is the amount of energy transferred from the ventilator to the: Respiratory system Excretory system Lymphatic system Digestive system
2. Mechanical power incorporates all of the components delivered to optimize outcomes, except: Inspiratory pressure PEEP Chest movement Respiratory rate
3. Which of the following is included within the components of mechanical power? Energy Work Power All of the following
4. What defines inspiratory work? The sum of tidal work and resistive work Work needed to expand the lungs and chest wall Elastic work minus PEEP work Work generated by the ventilator to deliver pressure
5. Which adaptive strategy can be utilized to minimize mechanical power and VILI? Tolerating the lowest respiratory rate, tidal volume and driving pressure Trendelenburg positioning Using paralytics without sedation Providing the highest PEEP available
