During mechanical ventilation rounds, a therapist is trending the patient’s dynamic compliance measurements. The primary purpose of this procedure is to monitor changes in the patient’s:

As the therapist is reviewing a patient’s intake/output record, the therapist notices that the urine output averages 65 mL/hr. The therapist should infer that the patient has:

What data supports your diagnosis? 1. CBC results 2. ABG results 3. BNP 4. Radiology  

Ms. Warren has the following laboratoryresults: prothrombin time: 5 secbilirubin level: 60 mg/L albumin level: 13 g/L These findings suggest which of the following?

Patient-ventilator system checks reveal the following data: Time Volume (mL) PIP (cm H20) Pplat (cm H20) 1200 500 20 15 1400 500 25 20 1600 500 30 25   Based on the given data, what would you expect to occur with the patient’s volume and pressure levels?

A patient ventilator assessment reveals the following data:   Time Volume (mL) PIP (cm H20) Pplat (cm H20) 1200 310 25 20 1400 450 25 16 1600 585 25 11 What is the current condition of the patient’s lung characteristics?

A patient receiving PC-CMV has initial arterial blood gas (ABG) findings as follows: PaO2 of 101 mm Hg, partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the arteries (PaCO2) of 60 mm Hg, and pH of 7.30. The respiratory therapist should:

Which of the following are potential complications of PPV? 1. Decreased ICP 2. Increased blood pressure 3. Decreased cardiac output 4. Decreased urine output

Calculate the static compliance (Cs) given the following data: PIP 25 cm H20 PPLAT 10 cm H20 PEEP 5 cm H20 Vt Inhaled 515 Vt Exhaled 500

Sustained hyperventilation of up to _____hours may result in respiratoryalkalosis. This condition reduces cerebralblood flow and intracranial pressure(ICP) and may be beneficial to patientssuffering from ______ .
