 This obstructive disorder has a low DLCO.

What is emphysema?

100

AAT deficiency is a cause of this obstructive disorder.

What is emphysema?

100

This is a maneuver to receive a Plateau value. 

What is inspiratory hold?

100

This is the initial oxygen range to begin with no previous oxygen setting or emergency.

What is 30-60%?

100

This can be added if a patient starts having spontaneous breaths to augment their breathing. 

What is pressure support?

200
This is a percentage we look at for airway obstruction reversibility post bronchodilator.

What is 12-15%?

200

This name refers to a broad group of inflammatory lung disorders. 

What is Interstitial Lung Disorders?

200

This is a calculation we use to determine tidal volume.

What is PBW?

200

This is a calculation to evaluate for ALI or ARDS.

What is P/F ratio?

200

In this mode you can set IT, RR, Pressure. 

Pressure control 

300

This measurement is used to determine obstructive disorder. 

What is FEV1?

300

This ILD disorder is the most common.

What is Sarcoidosis?

300

When a patient has an increase in PaCO2 on the ventilator this is the first setting we change. 

What is RR/Frequency?

300

This measures the fraction of inspired oxygen with how much the body uses at the tissue level. 

What is the oxygen index?

300

This device is used for short term use generally less than 24 hours while on the ventilator.

What is an HME?

400

Determine these results for lung disorder: FVC 73%, FEV1 66%, FEV1/FVC 64%. 

What is obstructive lung disease? 

400

This medication can be given for increased fluid in the lungs. 

What is Furesomide?

400

This calculation represents the percentage of tidal volume that is unavailable for gas exchange. 

What is VD/VT?

400

Once the FiO2 is at this level Peep can be weaned. 

What is 55% or less?

400
The ventilator has a malfunction what is the appropriate intervention. 

What is manually bagging?

500

This is the normal DLCO value in men and women. 

What is 20-25ml CO/min/mm hg?

500

This disease occurs when fluid builds up in the alveoli causing significantly reducing lung compliance and consequent profound hypoxemia.

What is ARDS?

500

This can be removed from patient circuit to decrease PaCO2. (a small amount of PaCO2 removal)

What is deadspace?

500

This lung recruitment maneuver can be started at this certain PEEP level. 

What is 20-25 cm H20?

500

These three factors help determine inspiratory time, expiratory time and I:E ratio.
