Which of these is the result of administration of atrovent?I. Inhibition of Muscarinic 3 receptorII. Stimulation of the Alpha  receptorIII. Blockage of sympathetic receptorsIV. Enhances Beta 2 stimulation

A patient is receiving mechanical ventilation with the following settings:Mandatory rate                15VT                                   900 mlPIP                                  48 cm H2OPEEP                               8 cm H2OPlateau pressure              38 cm H2OWhat is the static compliance value in ml/cm H2O?

Advantages in the homcare sites include:I. Availability of many servicesII. Greater patient independenceIII. Lower co-paysIV. Usually better consistency of care and patient compliance

Which of the following are characteristic findings in patients with emphysema?I. A dereased FEV1II. Flattening of the hemidiaphragmsIII. An increase in AP diameter on a chest radiographIV. Ventilatory accessory muscle atrophy

A 65 year old woman with congestive heart failure is recieving 10 cm H2O CPAP and an FIO2 of 0.70. Arterial blood gas results are below:pH           7.41PaCO2     40 torrPaO2        150 torrHCO3      25 mEq/LBE           +7 mEq/LWhich of the following should the respiratory therapist recommend?

The most important and quickest assessment of an ETT placed in the correct site is:

At an FIO2 of 0.21, arterial blood gas results below are reported for a patient with COPD and dyspnea:pH                           7.30PaCO2                     60 torrPaO2                        43 torrHCO3                      29 mEq/LBE                           +3 mEq/LThe most appropriate oxygen therapy for this patient is a:

Which of the following is/are indications for mechanical ventilation?I. Cardiopulmonary failureII. PaO2 65 mmHgIII. MIP of -15 cm H2OIV. Paralysis

A male patient in the ICU is currently on vent support due to blunt chest trauma. The patient is awake and currently on the following ventilatory settings and data:Mode = AC          Tot. Respirations = 23              CXR : Absent lung markingsSet Rate = 12        Measured VT = 530 ml                       RUL and RMLVT = 700 ml          SpO2 = 90%                           FIO2 = 0.40           DCL = 10.5 ml cm H2O               PEEP = 0               StatCL  = 12.5 ml cm H2O        What can be done to help with this situation:I. Increase FIO2II. Needle decompressionIII. Place patient on pressure control ventilationIV. Give pateint bronchodilator therapy
