FCCS Post Test Review Questions Answered 100% Correct
2024/2025
Most important indicator that a patient has a severe illness? - -Tachypnea

3 respiratory types, and their criteria - -Hypoxemic (PaO2 <50-60)
Hypercapnic (PaCO2 >50, pH <7.36)
Mixed

Delta gap (formula, when and why it's used) - -Difference in AG from normal -
Difference in HCO3 from normal


In AG metabolic acidosis it's used. It tells you if there's underlying metabolic alkalosis or
respiratory acidosis with bicarb compensation IN ADDITION to the AG metabolic acidosis.
Both of those would result in a high bicarb to begin with, and a smaller change in bicarb
from normal.

Winter's formula (equation, what it measures) - -1.5[HCO3] + 8 +/- 2
If compensation is adequate in acid/base issues

How AG changes with albumin changes - -Decreases 2.5-3 for every 1 decrease in
albumin

Hemodynamic changes after intubation - -Hypo/hypertension
Arrhythmia
Tachycardia

Pressure support equation for BiPAP - -IPAP - EPAP

3 types of vent cycles - -Volume (preset tidal volume, relieves WOB the most)
Time (constant pressure of time)
Flow (constant pressure until inspiratory flow is below 25% of peak)

Goal tidal volume - -10 cc/kg

Goal FiO2 on vent - -Start at 1.0, then decrease as SpO2 tolerates (goal of 92-94
saturation)

Ppeak - -Peak inspiratory pressure

Pplat (try to keep it below ?) - -Inspiratory plateau pressure (shows alveolar
distention)
