(3 points) - The three main components of the RRT are the team leader, the critical care nurse, and the respiratory therapist. The team leader is usually a physician or an advanced practice nurse who coordinates the assessment and management of the patient. The critical care nurse provides bedside care and m onitors the patient's vital signs and interventions. The respiratory therapist assists with airway management and oxygen therapy. 2. What are some common causes of acute respiratory failure and how can they be prevented or treated?

They can be prevented or treated by avoiding smoking, inf ections, allergens, and environmental toxins, as well as by administering bronchodilators, corticosteroids, antibiotics, anticoagulants, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as indicated. 3. What are the indications a nd contraindications for initiating non -invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in patients with acute respiratory failure?

The contraindications for initiating NIPPV are hemodynamic instability, cardiac arrest, facial trauma or surgery, upper airway obstruction, copious secretions, or inability to cooper ate or protect the airway. 4.
