1.
Ventilator Induced Lung Injury is caused by
Correct Answer
D. All of the above
Explanation
Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI) refers to lung damage caused by mechanical ventilation. Atelectrauma occurs when parts of the lung collapse and re-expand repeatedly, leading to inflammation and injury. Over-distention happens when the lung is stretched beyond its normal capacity, causing damage to the alveoli. Intra-thoracic pressure differences can also contribute to VILI by causing stress on the lung tissue. Therefore, all of the mentioned factors, including atelectrauma, over-distention, and intra-thoracic pressure differences, can lead to Ventilator Induced Lung Injury.
2.
Critical Closing Pressure is the PEEP level that
Correct Answer
C. Prevents alveolar collapse during expiration
Explanation
The correct answer is "prevents alveolar collapse during expiration". Critical Closing Pressure refers to the minimum pressure that needs to be maintained in the alveoli during expiration to prevent their collapse. If the pressure falls below this critical level, the alveoli can collapse, leading to atelectasis. Therefore, maintaining an adequate PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) level is crucial to prevent alveolar collapse during expiration.
3.
The Open Lung Tool allows the operator to monitor lung mechanics during recruitment maneuvers and PEEP titration.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The Open Lung Tool is a tool that enables the operator to monitor lung mechanics during recruitment maneuvers and PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) titration. This means that it provides information about the functioning of the lungs during the process of opening up collapsed lung regions and adjusting the amount of pressure applied at the end of expiration. Therefore, the statement is true as the Open Lung Tool does allow the operator to monitor lung mechanics during these procedures.
4.
Which of the following factors INCREASE lung compliance?
Correct Answer
C. Release of overdistention
Explanation
Release of overdistention increases lung compliance because overdistention refers to the excessive stretching of lung tissue beyond its normal capacity. This can lead to decreased lung compliance. However, when the overdistention is released, the lung tissue returns to its normal state, resulting in increased lung compliance.
5.
Put the four steps of the Recruitment procedure in order.
a) PEEP Titration
b) Re-recruitment
c) Maintain Recruitment
d) Recruitment
Correct Answer
B. D, a, b, c
Explanation
The correct order of the four steps of the Recruitment procedure is d, a, b, c. First, the initial recruitment process is conducted (d). Then, if necessary, re-recruitment may be done to fill any remaining vacancies (a). After that, the process moves on to re-recruitment (b), which involves attracting and selecting suitable candidates for the job. Finally, once the recruitment is complete, the organization must maintain the recruitment process to ensure a continuous pool of potential candidates (c).
6.
When using NAVA, the electical activity of the diaphragm is captured by the
Correct Answer
B. Edi Catheter
Explanation
The correct answer is Edi Catheter because it is specifically designed to capture the electrical activity of the diaphragm. The Edi Catheter is inserted into the esophagus and placed near the diaphragm to measure the changes in electrical potential that occur during diaphragmatic contractions. This allows for accurate monitoring of the diaphragm's activity and provides valuable information about the patient's respiratory effort. The Edi Cable and Edi Module are not designed for this purpose and do not capture the electrical activity of the diaphragm.
7.
In the NAVA mode, the patient's breathing is processed by the Edi Signal, controls the ventilator, and assists the patient in proportion and synchrony with that effort.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
In NAVA mode, the patient's breathing is monitored by the Edi Signal, which then controls the ventilator to provide assistance in proportion and synchrony with the patient's effort. This means that the ventilator adapts to the patient's breathing patterns and provides support when needed, resulting in a more natural and synchronized breathing process. Therefore, the given statement is true.
8.
In NAVA mode, the ventilator assist terminates the breath and exhalation begins when the Edi signal falls to 50% of its peak.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
In NAVA mode, the ventilator assist does not terminate the breath and begin exhalation when the Edi signal falls to 50% of its peak. Therefore, the statement is false.
9.
The Edi Catheter is in correct position when
Correct Answer
B. The second and third lead forms are highlighted in blue.
Explanation
The correct answer is the second and third lead forms are highlighted in blue. This indicates that the Edi Catheter is in the correct position. The highlighted lead forms show the placement of the catheter and ensure that it is in the desired location for accurate monitoring or treatment.
10.
In NAVA mode, the following parameters are set:
a) NAVA level
b) PEEP
c) O2 Concentration
d) Trigger Edi
Correct Answer
B. A, b, c, d
Explanation
In NAVA mode, all the parameters mentioned are set. NAVA level determines the amount of assistance provided by the ventilator based on the patient's neural inspiratory effort. PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure) is the pressure maintained in the airways at the end of expiration to prevent alveolar collapse. O2 Concentration refers to the percentage of oxygen delivered to the patient. Trigger Edi is the electrical activity of the diaphragm that triggers the ventilator to deliver assistance. Therefore, all the parameters (a, b, c, d) are set in NAVA mode.
