What does the Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting help with?

Maintaining alveoli open by pushing in oxygen and expelling CO2 (correct)

Decreasing lung compliance

Reducing the respiratory rate

Increasing the risk of pneumothorax

Which parameter is key to monitor when a patient is on positive-pressure mechanical ventilation?

Respiratory rate (RR)

Tidal volume (Vt)

Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) (correct)

Inspiratory flow rate (IFR)

How does the Inspiratory flow rate (IFR) affect breath delivery?

Determines the amount of air delivered with each breath

Regulates how fast the breath is delivered (correct)

Adjusts the amount of pressure in the lungs

Sets the volume of air cycled in and out
