A 48 year-old female is admitted to heart failure
the ED with diaphoresis, jugular
venous distension, and 3+ pitting
edema in the ankles. These findings
are consistent with
,A patient is admitted to the ED Needle aspirate the 2nd left intercostal space
following a motor vehicle accident.
On physical exam, the respiratory
therapist discovers that breath
sounds are absent in the left chest
with a hyperresonant percussion
note. The trachea is shifted to the
right. The patient's heart rate is
45/min, respiratory rate is 30/min, and
blood pressure is 60/40 mm Hg. What
action should the therapist
recommend first?
All of the following strategies are using a low residual volume, low compliance cuff
likely to decrease the likelihood of
damage to the tracheal mucosa
EXCEPT
A 52 year-old post-operative deep breathing & coughing to clear secretions
cholecystectomy patient's breath
sounds become more coarse upon
completion of postural drainage with
percussion. The respiratory therapist
should recommend
, A 65 kg spinal cord injured patient IPPB
develops atelectasis. His inspiratory
capacity is 30% of his predicted
value. What bronchial hygiene
therapy would be most appropriate
initially?
A healthy adult female can exhale 70%
what portion of her forced vital
capacity in the first second?
A patient on VC ventilation 1, 2, and 3 only
demonstrates auto-PEEP on ventilator
graphics. Which of the following
controls, when adjusted
independently, would increase
expiratory time?
1. Tidal volume
2. respiratory rate
3. inspiratory flow
4. sensitivity
Which of the following would be the insert a chest tube
most appropriate therapy for a
dyspneic patient who has crepitus
with tracheal deviation to the left and
absent breath sounds on the right?
Following cardiac surgery, a 55 year- 5.0 vol %
old patient has the following ABG
results: pH 7.50, PaCO2 30 torr, PaO2
62 torr, HCO3 25 mEq/L, SaO2 92%,
HB 14 g/dL, BE +2. Venous blood gas
results are pH 7.39, PvCO2 43 torr,
PvO2 37 torr, and SvO2 66%.
Calculate the patient's C(a-v)O2.
