    D. Is greatest in patients with absorption atelectasis
  • 31. 

    Monitor the FIO2 closely. If greater than 0.50 it presents risk for absorption atelectasis because it washes out nitrogen and nitrogen is 80% of alveolar gas. Try not to have a patient breathing at low tidal volumes from sedation, surgical pain, of cns dysfunction...
