Basics Of Anesthesia Breathing Circuits/ventilators Prep Spring 2011

Front 1

A disadvantage of descending bellows is:

Back 1

Failure to detect a leak because the bellows continue to move

Front 2

The advantage of a volume cycled ventilator is:

Back 2

Tidal volume is constant even with changes in compliance or resistance

Front 3

The disadvantage of pressure cycled ventilators is:

Back 3

Tidal volume varies with total compliance

Front 4

A disadvantage of a volume cycled ventilator is:

Back 4

No compensation for leaks and increased pressure in the system.

Front 5

An advantage of a pressure cycled ventilator is-

Back 5

The ability to compensate for small leaks and deliver the same amount of tidal volume

Front 6

Physiologic PEEP is roughly how many cmH20?

Back 6

2-5

Front 7

Decreased cardiac output due to increased intrathoracic pressure from mechanical ventilation might be likely in which patient?

Back 7

Pediatric

Front 8

Decreased compliance from a ventilation standpoint can be reflected as-

Back 8

Increased peak airway pressures

Front 9

A major complication that should be dealt with swiftly related to mechanical ventilation is-

Back 9

Excessive airway pressures

Front 10

Fresh gas flow requirements for all the Mapleson circuits are roughly how many times greater than the minute ventilation?

Back 10
