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