Which of the following is the factor by which the Edi signal is multiplied to adjust the amount of support delivered to the patient?

In PAV+, the ventilator measures the patient’s compliance, resistance, flow, and volume to deliver a pressure based on these variables.  

For a patient with previous weaning failure, post-extubation NIV NAVA can be used for 7-10 days.  

Your patient has an Edi peak of 13.5 and an Edi min of 5.5.  The NAVA level is 1.5.  How much pressure support is the patient receiving?

When transitioning a patient to Home NIV, which of the following can be adjusted by the RT to achieve patient comfort? 

Based on the figure in the picture above, tell me what you think about the synchrony and triggering of breaths. 

With AVAPS, the ventilator will measure elastance and resistance and then patient WOB every 4-10 breaths.

A potential advantage of ATC is facilitation of accurate predication of readiness for extubation. 

Your patient is in the S/T mode of a Vision BiPap with the following setting: 25%, EPAP +8, IPAP +16.  The ABG is as follows: pH 7.54, PaCO2 29, PaO2 115, HCO3 22.  What would you like to change? 

Which of the flow time graphics below is more appropriate for a patient with COPD?
