MECHANICAL VENTILATION EXAM 2 FREQUENTLY
TESTED ACTUAL QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Question 1.
Ventilator - select what 3 things?
ANSWER
1. TYPE of ventilator
2. Ventilator MODE
3. CONTROL variable (how breath is delivered within mode)
Question 2.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIPPV)
ANSWER
CPAP/BiPAP
Question 3.
Invasive Ventilation (IPPV)
ANSWER
Full ventilatory supports (FVS) Partial ventilatory support (PVS)
Question 4.
CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure)
ANSWER
Improves oxygenation Treat cariogenic pulmonary edema May be used in *stable COPD
(patients with increases resistance) Enhances surface area - making gas exchange easier

BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure)
, ANSWER
Manage disorders such as COPD, CF, MS, ALS Reduces the need for intubation by 60-75%
Pressure triggered, pressure limited, flow cycled
Question 6.
Major Non-invasive ventilation advantage
ANSWER
Preserve airway defenses - avoid infection
