Management of Pediatric Patients With Oxygen in the Acute Care Setting: Current Guidelines

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. In pediatric patients, did the use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy compared to standard low-flow oxygen result in different rates of escalation to NIV or intubation? Yes, in 22% of subjects Yes, in 80% of subjects Yes, in 33% of subjects None of the above
2. In hospitalized pediatric patients, the committee decided that the use of oxygen hoods and tents in lieu of low-flow oxygen systems (e.g., nasal cannula, simple face mask) provided what result? The committee could not make a recommendation Oxygen hoods performed better than low-flow systems Low-flow systems performed better than hoods and tents Neither system should be used
3. Bronchiolitis is a common lung infection in infants and pediatric patients caused by which of the following? Bacteria infections Unknown origins Viral infections Pneumonia
4. According to the AARC, the purpose of the clinical practice guidelines was to: Provide evidence-based clinical guidelines to answer questions surrounding the use of simple oxygen therapy to improve oxygenation Comparison of delivery devices Efficacy of humidification and comparison of flows and goals for use in children All the above
5. What result was found when comparing the effects of HFNC vs. conventional oxygen therapy in patients with moderate to severe acute bronchiolitis? HFNC had reduced weaning time and treatment failure rate No evidence could be determined Conventional oxygen therapy had better performance than HFNC HFNC had an increased weaning time
