RSP 310 Exam 2 review

hazards of a recruitment maneuver (especially >40 seconds) include:

a 70 kg patient's PaC02 is 65, desired is 40. set Vt is 690 and F is 12. What needs changed?

pulse oximeters are generally accurate for 02 saturations greater than what reading?

The following PVL indicates what?

This is the best way to tell if the ventilator system has a leak.

It is recommended that a RM is performed if PEEP is withdrawn due to leak or suctioning w/ significant change in Pa02

Methods for reducing risk of VAP include:

Immediately after placing the patient on the vent, the RT should do the following?

A 80 kg IBW pt. has a PaC02 of 62. the MD would like it to be 40. Rate is 12 and Vt is 400 ml. What should change?

This depolarizing agent can be used with RSI.

The following PVL indicates what?

You have a patient with PIP 37, Pplat of 20, PEEP 8, and flow is 60 LPM. Calculate Raw.

Which of the following is an example of dysfunctional hemoglobin?

You are placing a patient in PC with an inverse I/E ratio. What medication might be indicated in addition to sedatives?

Point 4 on the PETC02 tracing indicates?

A patient should not be given which drug due to the histamine release?

A patient is given fentanyl for a procedure. What is a likely side effect?

Calculate P/F ratio if Pa02 is 75 and Fi02 is 0.6. What oxygenation marker is this?

The yellow colored loop indicates what?

This condition produces stiff lungs, inflammation, and ground glass CXR.

This is the most frequent hospital acquired infection in a critically ill vented patient.

Once physician's orders are verified, the RT ensures the vent has passed what prior to placing on the patient?

A pt. receives sedation for a procedure and is not breathing or responding to normal stimuli. This is what level?

this technology uses absorption of selected wavelengths of light beamed through the tissue (660 and 940 wavelengths)

What is indicated by the graphic below?

The following PVL indicates what?

The PetC02 relates to the PaC02 how?

Your pt. has a Pa02 of 52 on 0.35. The MD would like the Pa02 to be 80. you should make what change?

If a patient is suspected to have an elevated carboxyhemoglobin, what test should be ordered to measure oxygen sat?

A patient with no secretions, CXR diffuse infiltrates, and no fever is likely to have VAP.

This is the name of the volume lost within the patient circuit d/t tubing compliance, some vents correct for it.

The flow-time scalar below indicates?

Patients with ARDS needing PEEP >10 would benefit from what study?

sustained inflation for recruitment involves:

NMBA do not posses sedative or analgesic properties.
