In which of the following situations is volume-controlled ventilation sometimes used? - ANSWER: I. When a precise PaCO2 has to be maintained (some closed-head injuries). II. When more even distribution of ventilation is required Spontaneous breath modes include all of the following except: - ANSWER: continuous mandatory ventilation assist-control. What is the primary physiological effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)? - ANSWER: Increase the functional residual capacity (FRC...

ICU EXAM 1 2024 WITH 100% ACCURATE SOLUTIONS Nociceptors differ from other nerve receptors in the body in that they: - ANSWER ☑☑adapt very little to continual pain response A postsurgical patient is on a ventilator in the critical care unit. The patient has been tolerating the ventilator well and has not required any sedation. On assessment, the nurse notes the patient is tachycardic and hypertensive with an increased respiratory rate of 28 breaths/min. The patient has been suctioned ...

1. Calculate the static compliance (CS), in mL/cm H2O, when PIP is 47 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) is 27 cm H2O, baseline pressure is 10 cm H2O, and exhaled tidal volume (VT) is 725 mL. a. 43 CS b. 36 CS c. 20 CS d. 0.065 CS - ️️A. Cs = Vt/(Pplat - PeeP) Cs = 725 / (27-10), Cs=725/17, 42.64=725/17 2. Air accidently trapped in the lungs due to mechanical ventilation is known as which of the following? a. Plateau pressure (Pplateau) b. Functional residual capacity (FRC) c. E...
