Plateau pressure - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

1. Calculate the static compliance (CS), in mL/cm H2O, when PIP is 47 cm H2O, plateau pressure (Pplateau) is 27 cm H2O, baseline pressure is 10 cm H2O, and exhaled tidal volume (VT) is 725 mL. a. 43 CS b. 36 CS c. 20 CS d. 0.065 CS - ️️A. Cs = Vt/(Pplat - PeeP) Cs = 725 / (27-10), Cs=725/17, 42.64=725/17 2. Air accidently trapped in the lungs due to mechanical ventilation is known as which of the following? a. Plateau pressure (Pplateau) b. Functional residual capacity (FRC) c. E...

CRNA Interview Questions and Answers 100% Solved What are the interventions for cardiogenic shock? ️️-Fluids -Vasopressors (Dopamine) -Inotropes (Dobutamine, Milrinone for heart failure) -IABP, ECMO Your ventilator is peak pressure alarming. What could be the problem? ️️-Normal plateau pressure - Kink in tubing, patient biting tube, mucous plug, bronchospasm, ETT too small -If high plateau pressure - there is an issue with lung compliance ie: developing PNA, pulmonary edema, ...

What is the most important sign in a critically ill pt? Why? - Correct answer-Tachypnea Indicates metabolic acidosis w/ respiratory alkalosis compensation A pt misses dialysis for a few days and comes in with fluid overload. He's tachycardic and tachypneic. On physical exam, you find JVD, pulsus paradoxus (20 mmHg drop during inspiration), and HoTN (80/40) with distant, muffled heart sounds. Lungs are clear to auscultation. What is the dx? - Correct answer-Cardiac tamponade; obstructive s...

What is the most important sign in a critically ill pt? Why? - Correct answer-Tachypnea Indicates metabolic acidosis (often w/ respiratory alkalosis compensation) A pt misses dialysis for a few days and comes in with fluid overload. He's tachycardic and tachypneic. On physical exam, you find JVD, pulsus paradoxus (20 mmHg drop during inspiration), and HoTN (80/40) with distant, muffled heart sounds. Lungs are clear to auscultation. What is the dx? - Correct answer-Cardiac tamponade; obstru...

RCP 160 Exam with Correct Answers Calculate the tubing compliance (CT) when the measured volume is 150 mL and the static pressure is 53 cm H2O. Question options: -0.003 mL/cm H2O -0.35 cm H2O/mL -2.8 mL/cm H2O -7.95cm H2O/mL - Answer-2.8 mL/cm H2O Feedback: Calculate tubing compliance (CT) by dividing measured volume by measured static pressure. When initially setting up a ventilator the plateau pressure (PPlateau) is measured at 47 cm H2O with a set volume of 100 mL. After applyi...

You note in the chart of a patient's who is receiving volume control ventilation that the plateau pressure has been increasing over the last 6 hours, while the PEEP levels remains constant. Which of the following would be the most likely cause of this change? Select one: A. development of pulmonary edema B. water accumulation in the ventilator circuit C. partial obstruction of the endotracheal tube D. development of bronchospasm - correct answer An increase in the plateau pressure rela...

A 55-year-old male patient post-myocardial infarction (MI) queries the nurse caring for him whether he will be healthy enough for sexual activity after discharge from the hospital. The patient has been prescribed anti-hypertensives and beta-blockers. While health teaching, the nurse understands that the three phases of the four-stage model of the human sexual response cycle that are of concern for this patient include - excitement, plateau, and orgasmic. During these three phases, heart rat...
