Chapter 24: Noninvasive
Positive-Pressure Ventilation Exam
Questions And Answers
bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) - ANS a mode of ventilation similar to CPAP
except that different pressure levels may be set for the inspiratory and expiratory phases;
inspiratory pressure is greater than the expiratory pressure, offering lower resistance to
exhalation
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - ANS spontaneous ventilation with an
elevated baseline pressure
expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) - ANS in bilevel positive-pressure ventilation,
the baseline setting for the expiratory pressure level
full-face mask - ANS a soft-seal mask covering both the nose and mouth, used for
resuscitation (bag-mask devices) and for noninvasive ventilation
inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) - ANS in bilevel positive-pressure ventilation,
the setting for the inspiratory pressure level
nasal mask - ANS a mask that covers the patient's nose only; mouth is exposed and the
patient may speak
nasal pillows - ANS a patient interface for noninvasive ventilation consisting of small cones
that fit inside the nares of the nose, providing a seal for positive-pressure ventilation
nasogastric tube - ANS a small-diameter tube passed down the esophagus into the
stomach to remove gastric contents, thereby compressing it
pressure-targeted ventilation (PTV) - ANS a classification of ventilation in which an
inspiratory pressure (pressure target) is administered during inspiration
rapid-shallow-breathing index (RSBI) - ANS a means of quantitating spontaneous
ventilation; ventilatory frequency divided by the tidal volume in liters
