MECHANICAL VENTILATION TEST 2
EXAMINATION TEST 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS UPDATED.
⫸ The Bird Mark 7 is which type of ventilator? Answer:
Pneumatically powered
⫸ The process of getting fresh air into the lungs and CO2 out is
know as. Answer: Ventilation
⫸ Movement of gas molecules across the A-C membrane is known
as. Answer: Respiration
⫸ What occurs when pressure in the alveoli is higher than the
pressure at the upper airway? Answer: Pressure gradients
⫸ Which pressure is required to inflate the lungs? Answer:
Transrespiratory
⫸ Which pressure is required to maintain alveolar inflation? Answer:
Transpulmonary
⫸ Compliance equation is? Answer: Change in volume / Change in
pressure
, ⫸ Equation for Raw (airway resistance) is? Answer: PIP - Plateau /
flow
⫸ When setting an inspiratory time on the ventilator, what is the
least amount of time constants we want to use? Answer: 3
⫸ The highest pressure recorded during inspiration is? Answer: PIP
⫸ When a patient air traps and can not exhale completely, what
occurs? Answer: Intrinsic PEEP
⫸ A patient has acute pulmonary edema from left-sided heart failure
and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure that has not responded to
conventional pharmacologic and oxygen therapy. As the next line of
therapy, the respiratory therapist should recommend which of the
following? Answer: Continuous positive airway pressure
⫸ NIV is considered the standard of care for the treatment of which
of the following? Answer: COPD exacerbation
⫸ A 75-year-old man with a long history of COPD is brought to the
emergency department with shortness of breath. He has a persistent,
productive cough with green purulent sputum, cyanosis of the lips and
extremities, and is uncooperative. His arterial blood gas values on 2
L/min by nasal cannula are: pH = 7.25; PaCO2 = 90 mm Hg; PaO2 =
38 mm Hg; SaO2 = 59%; HCO3- = 38 mEq/L. The most appropriate
action at this time is which of the following? Answer: Invasive
mechanical ventilation
