An excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP)

In which of the following should minute ventilation be increased?

Which of the following indicate normal oxygenation?      I.        A-a oxygen gradient of 100 mmHg      II.       p/f ratio of

While looking at the screen of a BiPAP Vision noninvasive ventilator, you notice the IPAP is set at 15 cmH20 and the EPAP is set at 5 cmH20.  What is the total pressure?

Describe in detail the CPAP /Pressure Support Mode

A patient is on 02 –  30% ventimask.   Abg’s are: pH 7.34, paC02 65 torr pa02 55 torr, HC03 35meq/L.  What type of respiratory failure does this qualify as?

Patients who have unilateral consolidation or atelectasis may benefit from positioning with the affected lung or segments in the nondependent (upright) position to promote better ventilation/perfusion relations.

A patient receiving mechanical ventilation has a high minute ventilation (13.0 L/min).  Upon drawing an ABG and analyzing the results you notice the paC02 is 40 mmHg and the pH is normal.  What can you conclude?

Which of the following indicate an increased work of breathing? Active exhalation Paradoxical chest movement Accessory muscle use Spontaneous tidal volume of 6 ml/kg
