A few questions for respiratory therapists
The patient inhale larger then normal tidal volume.
Breath pressures that provide a volume slightly less then their FRC.
Do not use diaphragmatic breathing.
Forcefully use a huffing maneuver to clear their secretions.
Is a worthy alternative to Chest Physio-therapy.
The film is closer to the heart
The film is farther from the heart
The AP x-ray is taken closer to the patient
The PA x-ray is taken closer to the patient
Increasing the diameter of the suction catheter.
Changing to a closed system (inline) suction catheter.
Increasing the pressure limit.
Changing to a volume regulated mode.
The change in the amount of Helium.
The change in the amount of Nitrogen.
The PaCO2
The average PetCO2
The average PetO2
(PaCO2 - PetCO2) / PaCO2
(PetCO2 - PaCO2) / PetCO2
(PaCO2 - PetCO2) / PetCO2
(PetCO2 - PaCO2) / PaCO2
The expiratory time should be between 0.4 and 0.6 seconds
The tidal volume should be between 4ml - 6ml per kg
Should have the high pressure set at the mean airway pressure of the previous mode
Should start at 28 cmH20 or less if first mode on a patient
The low pressure (peep or low CPAP) should be 0 cmH20
