FCCS POST TEST REVIEW
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 100%
CORRECT (FULLY SOLVED)
1st step in respiratory arrest while ON the vent -
correct answer- Disconnect them from the
vent
3 respiratory types, and their criteria - correct
answer- Hypoxemic (PaO2 <50-60)
Hypercapnic (PaCO2 >50, pH <7.36)
Mixed
3 types of vent cycles - correct answer-
Volume (preset tidal volume, relieves WOB the most)
Time (constant pressure of time)
Flow (constant pressure until inspiratory flow is below
25% of peak)
, ABG findings in PE - correct answer-
Decreased CO2 (hyperventilating)
Decreased O2 (V/Q mismatch)
ACE-I in pregnancy - correct answer- NO
Airway in hematemesis pt - correct answer-
Electively intubate it
Assist-control ventilation - correct answer-
Either volume or time cycled breaths given
Usually the go to when you just started someone on the
vent
Gives the pt a set tidal volume and preset flow rate
respiratory rate. Very rigid. However, if the patient wants
to take extra breaths if they trigger them.
AutoPEEP (what it is, what it causes, how to fix it) -
correct answer- Breath stacking
Decreases preload to the heart with positive pressure on
the lungs --> hypotension
