Clinical simulation (RRT) Exam
Questions and answers
appropriate PH for ARDS? - ✅✅7.30-7.45
Plateau pressure (Pplat) normal? - ✅✅<=30
The oxygenation (PaO2) the acceptable range of a patient with ARDS? -
✅✅acceptable range of 55 - 80 for a patient with ARDS.
signs of respiratory failure and what are you supposed to do ? - ✅✅tachypnea,
hypercarbia, and hypoxemia)
NIV should be implemented to prevent further deterioration.
Prednisolone - ✅✅60mg tablet, Prednisone can be used to gain quick control in
patients in acute exacerbation, and is recommended as part of the EPR-3
guidelines for patients with severe persistent asthma recovering from
exacerbation.)
Beclomethasone Dipropionate HFA (Qvar) 80mcg: 2puffs bid - ✅✅Ordered
(EPR-3 guidelines recommend use of a medium-high dose inhaled corticosteroid
as a viable option for treatment in patients with severe persistent asthma.)
EXITHELPTIME
Asthma severity classification? - ✅✅FEV1 greater than 80%-mild
FEV1 60 to 80 ? - ✅✅Moderate
, FEV1 less than 60? - ✅✅Severe
Up to 2 days a week? - ✅✅Intermittent
Less than 2 days a week? - ✅✅Mild-persistent
Moderate? - ✅✅Symptoms daily
severe? - ✅✅Symptoms throughout the day
Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores ? - ✅✅The ACT 5-item self-administered
questionnaire that ranges from score of 0 (worst) to 25 (best). Any score less than
5 indicates poor control with scores of > 19 indicating well controlled asthma.)
PaO2/FiO2 ratio weaning parameter - ✅✅(The PF ratio allows a credible
assessment of generalize oxygenation status in comparison to the concurrent
level of oxygen therapy. A normal PF ratio is greater or equal to 350. Any PF ratio
less than 150-200 usually indicates ongoing significant oxygenation impairment.)
Rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI)Weaning parameter - ✅✅(The RSBI is a
comparison of respiratory rate and spontaneous tidal volume (f/VT), used as a
long-established credible metric to assess extubation readiness. RSBI less than
105 is considered acceptable for a majority of patients.)
