What is atelectasis?
What is atelectasis?
- Collapse of alveolar air spaces (correct)
- Expansion of alveolar air spaces

- Increase in lung capacity
When is supplemental oxygen indicated according to AHA guidelines?
When is supplemental oxygen indicated according to AHA guidelines?
- For oxygen saturation levels of 90% or less
- In all patients with pneumonia

What is the difference between negative pressure ventilation and positive pressure ventilation?
What is the difference between negative pressure ventilation and positive pressure ventilation?
- Negative pressure ventilation is used in patients with hypoxemia, while positive pressure ventilation is used in patients with hypercapnia
- Negative pressure ventilation forces air into the lungs while positive pressure ventilation draws air into the lungs
- Negative pressure ventilation is used during exhalation, while positive pressure ventilation is used during inhalation
- Negative pressure ventilation involves airflow from high pressure to low pressure, while positive pressure ventilation forces air into the lungs (correct)
