pressure support and is effective in treating COPD exacerbations
by improving ventilation and gas exchange.
2. Question: A patient with atrial fibrillation is scheduled for
radiofrequency catheter ablation. Which potential complication
should be anticipated post-procedure?
- a) Cerebrovascular accident
- b) Thrombocytopenia
