ABSITE CRITICAL CARE EXAM 2024 ACTUAL EXAM
COMPLETE 300 QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED
ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS) /ALREADY
GRADED A+ // BRAND NEW!!
factors that cause ventilator induced lung injury - ANSWER: too much volume
too much pressure
o2 toxicity

variables that affect oxygenation - ANSWER: FiO2
PEEP
Mean airway pressure

variables that affect ventilation (paCO2) - ANSWER: RR
tidal volume

(things that would blow off CO2)

plateau pressure of vent - ANSWER: do an inspiratory pause

reflects alveolar pressure

should be < 30 (?)

peak airway pressure really high (50), but plateau pressure normal ... - ANSWER:
large airway obstruction

bronchospasm

peak airway pressure of 50, plateau pressure high (40)... - ANSWER: alveolar lung
disease (restrictive)

ARDS

Peak airway pressure - ANSWER: reflects large airway pressure

should be < 40

RR x tidal volume - ANSWER: minute ventilation

assist control / continuous mandatory ventilation - ANSWER: set rate and volume
(volume control)

patient triggered breath > they get full volume

, barotrauma, stacking, hyperventilation

pressure control - ANSWER: set peak pressure, get whatever tidal volume

supports every breath

limits barotrauma, but can have inadequate ventilation (esp if developing ARDS)

SIMV -synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation - ANSWER: set volume.

spontaneous breath does not get full tidal volume, tries to syncronize

criteria for extubation - ANSWER: neuro intact / protect airway

vent settings minimal - PEEP<10, FiO2 <50

Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) - ANSWER: RR / Tidal volume

<100 -> good chance of predicting extubating

Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF) - ANSWER: predictor of who will fail extubation -
expiratory hold that gives sense of muscle strenth in chest

need > 20

ARDS lung protection - ANSWER: low tidal volumes (4-6 cc/kilo)

allow permissive hypercapnea as long as PO2 fine, pH>7.2

ARDS salvage therapies (2 - proven) - ANSWER: paralytics
proning

APRV (airway pressure release ventilation) - ANSWER: high pressure to keep alveoli
open, and then release

septic shock - ANSWER: need pressors for MAPs > 65

AND

have lactate > 2 after rescuscitation

Sepsis management - ANSWER: early goal directed rescuscitation:
w/i 3h: cx, abx, boluses at 30 cc/kilo for lactate

w/i 6 hours: pressors

Alpha 1 receptors - ANSWER: vasoconstriction
