health insurance won't pay
Why does obstructive sleep apnea cause strokes correct answers Because the heart has to pump
harder to get the blood out to the tissues. Body loses oxygen saturation causing the person to
become hypoxemic making the heart pump faster causing clots in the ventricles. When you're
saturation drops the ventricle gets weaker and weaker
Do patients snore with central sleep apnea correct answers No because there is no signal to
breath
What are the normal pressures for CPAP correct answers 5 to 20 cm of water
What are the goals of CPAP correct answers Increase the FRC (recruitment of Alveoli)
Decrease work of breathing and increase compliance
Decrease oxygen consumption
To help avoid tracheal intubation
Helps with secretion removal
When would you decrease the pressure of CPAP correct answers If you notice a drop in blood
pressure because heart is working harder to correct situation
What are some conditions benefiting from CPAP correct answers Acute exacerbation of COPD
-Status asthmaticus
-Hypoxemic respiratory failure
-Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- Restrictive Thoracic disorders
-Obstructive sleep apnea
-Nocturnal hypoventilation
-Do not intubate status
What would you do to the pressure of the CPAP if the patient is having arrhythmias correct
answers Increase the pressure of the CPAP because the patient is probably low on oxygen
What happens when you increase the FRC correct answers It helps with oxygenation
When do you typically have a humidifier attached to CPAP correct answers Usually only for
chronic care or homecare at home
Is CPAP a high flow or low flow system correct answers Hi flow
What CPAP pressure is like spontaneous breathing correct answers 5 cm H2O
What are some contraindications for CPAP correct answers -Facial burns facial or skull trauma
When fitting a mask for patient on CPAP what is the patient of choice correct answers -A patient
that is awake alert and oriented
-A patient must be able to protect their airway

If I do a blood gas in the patient was acidotic and they're on BiPAP what would I do to make
them less acidic? correct answers I would have to increase the iPap which will increase the tidal
volume
Causing them to increase the respirations to blow off CO2
What are the typical settings for BiPAP correct answers 15 over 5
What was primarily intended to augment patient ventilation by increasing minute ventilation in
improving gas exchange correct answers BiPAP
CPAP correct answers term was defined in 1971. used with neonatal patients with hyaline
membrane disease and the purpose was elevate airway pressure in intubated spontaneously
breathing neonates
was first demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in 1981
also used for patients with oxygenation problems (such as congestive heart failure)
Patient ventilatory asynchrony can be difficult if? correct answers The vent does not display
pressure flow and volume waveforms
When do you titrate Inspiratory pressures or volumes correct answers With ABGs
What helps prevent CO2 rebreathing through the exhalation port correct answers A high enough
EPAP pressure
