Given a  85 yr old COPD, respirations 36, pulse 147 with fever and CXR with consolidation of the RML. Which of the following would you now recommend given the following ABG? pH 7.28, PaC02 68 Pa02 48 on 50% 02

You are performing manual ventilation on a post-trauma victim. You note a sudden increase in pressure needed to ventilate the patient and fall in B/P from 140/80 to 80/40. Breath sounds are suddenly absent on the left side. You would most likely suspect:

Which of the following statements is associated with the drug, Xopenex?

Pressure limit controls on volume ventilators are usually designed to limit:

Given: pH = 7.31  PaCO2 = 33  HCO3 = 14 mEq/L  PaO2 = 43  SaO2 = 58%  PECO2 = 26  Your interpretation of the blood gasses would be:

25. Calculate the VD/VT   Given: Given: FIO2  = 40%      PB = 760      PaO2 = 80          PaCO2 = 78      SaO2 = 95% PvO2 = 40      Hb = 10    PECO2 = 42    VT = 800 ml    f = 12 breaths/min  

The adequacy of ventilation is best reflected by which of the following?

The foot of the bed is raised 18 inches. The patient is prone with a pillow under the waist and a pillow propping the lower legs and feet upward. What is being drained?
