Exam Preview for 2224: Advancements in Respiratory and Critical Car

Advancements in Respiratory and Critical Care, A Comprehensive Review, presented in partnership with the Society of Mechanical Ventilation

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. What parameter indicates hypoxemia in the diagnosis of ARDS? PaCO2 greater than 45 mmHg PaO2:FiO2 ratio less than 300 PEEP less than 5 cmH2O SpO2 greater than 95%
2. Why has mechanical power become a critical element in the development of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI) and mortality? Due to its direct correlation with patient comfort Because it quantifies the work applied by the ventilator on the respiratory system over time Because it measures the efficiency of oxygenation Because it determines the inspiratory power equation
3. What was the primary outcome assessed in the study concluded by Hernández et al. (2022)? Length of stay in the ICU decreased Mortality rate within 7 days after extubation Reintubation rate within 7 days after extubation Severity of respiratory failure
4. What are some benefits of using ultrasound for assessing diaphragmatic function? Accuracy, invasiveness, and cost-effectiveness Ease, portability, speed, and safety Long-term monitoring capabilities Ability to assess multiple organs simultaneously
5. What biomarker showed a reduction, indicating decreased inflammation and Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI) conducted by Zhang et al. (2023)? IL-2 IL-6 TNF-alpha IFN-gamma
