Mr. Jacobson is a patient in the burn unit with full thickness burns to his face, chest and left-sided extremities. He is intubated and on the mechanical ventilator. Based on these findings, what would be his estimated % of surface burns?

Match the following pathophysiological effects of the lung based on type of water drowning:

After increasing the level of CPAP delivered to an infant, the therapist notices that the neonate’s PaCO2 rises and the PaO2 falls. What may have caused this situation?

If you observe that your patient has significant apnea spells leading to bradycardia, you should:

Mr. Rainout is a patient with a long history of COPD, presents to the ED with an exacerbation precipitated by bilateral pneumonia which resulted in Mr. Rainout to be placed on a mechanical ventilator. He has been in the MICU for the past 4 days with very little noted improvement on his condition. The following parameters are measured:PB = 754 torrVent Settings: A/C 14, Vt 430 mL, PEEP 12 cmH2OpH = 7.29PaCO2 = 83 torrPaO2 = 48 (SaO2 = 64%)PvO2 = 33 (SvO2 = 32%)Hb = 18.9 g/dLFiO2 = 0.30QT = 3.7 mL/mina. Calculate the alveolar air.b. Calculate the P/F ratio and state what it indicates.c. Calculate the total oxygen delivery in one minute.

During bedside assessment of a patient with a PAC, the respiratory therapist in the MICU notices a dampened waveform on the monitor of the arterial line. To restore the graphic to normal, the RT should FIRST:
