,A 9-year-old girl is receiving The correct answer is : B
mechanical ventilation with an
adult circuit with the following
arterial blood gas values:
pH 7.30
PaCO2 53 mm Hg
PaO2 78 mm Hg
HCO3- 25 mEq/L
BE +1 mEq/L
Based on these values, the
respiratory therapist should

B. increase the rate.
C. change the circuit.
D. reduce 50 ml mechanical
deadspace.
,A 35-year-old female patient The correct answer is : A

ventilatory support by a high
frequency jet ventilator (HFJV).
Heart rate is 120/min and blood
pressure is within normal limits.
Arterial blood gas results on
high frequency ventilation are
as follows:
pH 7.26
PaCO2 64 torr
PaO2 82 torr
HCO3- 26 mEq/L
BE 0 mEq/L
The respiratory therapist should
recommend
