RRT TMC EXAM 9 QUESTIONS WITH 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS!!
VC ventilation
Volume-controlled ventilation delivering set tidal volume.
Plateau pressure
Pressure in the lungs during no airflow.
Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)
Maximum pressure during inhalation phase.
Lung compliance
Measure of lung expansion ease; decreases with atelectasis.
Atelectasis
Collapse or closure of lung resulting in reduced gas exchange.
Incentive spirometry
Technique to encourage deep breathing and lung expansion.
Rhonchi
Coarse, rattling breath sounds indicating airway obstruction.
Pneumothorax
Presence of air in the pleural space causing lung collapse.
Transillumination
Technique to assess lung conditions using light.
FIO2
Fraction of inspired oxygen delivered to the patient.
, PEEP
Positive end-expiratory pressure to keep alveoli open.
Bronchodilator therapy
Treatment to relax and open airways for easier breathing.
FEV1
Forced expiratory volume in one second; lung function measure.
Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)
Hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide; reduces oxygen transport.
Nonrebreathing mask
Mask providing high concentrations of oxygen to patients.
SpO2
Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, indicating blood oxygen levels.
Short-acting beta2 agonists
Medications that provide quick relief from bronchospasm.
Simultaneous ventilation
Ventilation mode allowing spontaneous breaths with mechanical support.
Sigh breaths
Deep breaths administered to prevent atelectasis.
Chest radiograph
X-ray imaging to assess lung and heart conditions.
Oxygen therapy
Administration of oxygen to maintain adequate oxygenation.
Incident report
