Exam Preview for 2260: Safe and Effective Mechanical Ventilation Ju

Safe and Effective Mechanical Ventilation

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. What is the primary consideration for safe mechanical ventilation? Maximizing tidal volume delivery Protecting the lung from injury Achieving a high peak inspiratory pressure Maintaining a low respiratory rate
2. In which modes of mechanical ventilation can plateau pressure (Pplat) be measured? Only in volume-controlled ventilation modes In all modes of mechanical ventilation Only in pressure-controlled ventilation modes Only in assisted ventilation modes
3. How can clinicians fine-tune PEEP and FiO2 in mechanical ventilation? By adjusting PEEP based on the patient's SpO2 alone By using the ABG results as the sole guide By referring to the PEEP-FiO2 table and balancing the two parameters By increasing tidal volume above 8 ml/kg IBW
4. How can flow resistance be reduced to mitigate air trapping? Using larger endotracheal tubes Increasing tidal volume By increasing the pressure support (PS) Increasing the inspiratory time
5. What is an essential aspect of spontaneous breathing-induced lung injury (SILI) management? Assessing the risk of lung injury and addressing modifiable factors Administering neuromuscular blockade Reducing sedation to increase patient driv Increasing tidal volume to improve oxygenation
