Practice TMC RRT Exam Questions and
Answers
VC ventilation - answer✔Volume-controlled ventilation delivering set tidal volume.
Plateau pressure - answer✔Pressure in the lungs during no airflow.
Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) - answer✔Maximum pressure during inhalation phase.
Lung compliance - answer✔Measure of lung expansion ease; decreases with atelectasis.
Atelectasis - answer✔Collapse or closure of lung resulting in reduced gas exchange.
Incentive spirometry - answer✔Technique to encourage deep breathing and lung expansion.
Rhonchi - answer✔Coarse, rattling breath sounds indicating airway obstruction.
Pneumothorax - answer✔Presence of air in the pleural space causing lung collapse.
Transillumination - answer✔Technique to assess lung conditions using light.
FIO2 - answer✔Fraction of inspired oxygen delivered to the patient.
PEEP - answer✔Positive end-expiratory pressure to keep alveoli open.

Bronchodilator therapy - answer✔Treatment to relax and open airways for easier breathing.
FEV1 - answer✔Forced expiratory volume in one second; lung function measure.
Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) - answer✔Hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide; reduces oxygen
transport.
Nonrebreathing mask - answer✔Mask providing high concentrations of oxygen to patients.
SpO2 - answer✔Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, indicating blood oxygen levels.
Short-acting beta2 agonists - answer✔Medications that provide quick relief from bronchospasm.
Simultaneous ventilation - answer✔Ventilation mode allowing spontaneous breaths with
mechanical support.
Sigh breaths - answer✔Deep breaths administered to prevent atelectasis.
Chest radiograph - answer✔X-ray imaging to assess lung and heart conditions.
Oxygen therapy - answer✔Administration of oxygen to maintain adequate oxygenation.
Incident report - answer✔Document detailing an unusual event during patient care.
Mandatory rate - answer✔Set number of breaths delivered by the ventilator.
Tidal volume - answer✔Volume of air inhaled or exhaled in one breath.
