What are some key causes of patient-ventilator asynchrony and increased work of breathing during pressure-triggered volume-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation?1. Improper trigger setting2. Insufficient inspiratory flow3. High peak airway pressures

Compared with a square wave flow pattern, a decelerating flow waveform has which of the following potential benefits?1. Reduced peak pressure2. Improved cardiac output3. Less inspiratory work4. Decreased volume of dead space-to-tidal volume ratio (VD/VT)

How are digital numbers converted to radiance? What variables and equations are used?  Where does one find the input values to the variables? Note the units involved.

Which of the following occur with positive-pressure ventilation (PPV)?1. During inspiration, pleural pressure decreases.2. During inspiration, pressure in the alveoli increases.3. The pressure gradients of normal breathing are reversed.4. During inspiration, alveolar pressure exceeds pleural pressure.

While entering a patient’s room you notice that a patient’s PIP has dropped dramatically from 44 to 28cm H20 on Pressure Control Ventilation. There have been no vent changes. What would be your most appropriate course of action?
