- Q1Which one of the following is not a class of respiratory failureAirway protectionMountain sicknessRefractory HypoxemiaIncreased work of breathing30s
- Q2Which type of tachypnea is more worrisomeRapid and shallowRapid and deep30s
- Q3Why is rapid and shallow breathing worse?low CO2low tidal volumeswill not tolerate BiPAPEasily tired30s
- Q4Which is NOT a class of increased work of breathing causing respiratory distress?Increased metabolic demandsOpiate OverdoseWorsening ComplianceBronchospasm30s
- Q5In severe metabolic acidosis, why are the patients breathing rapidly?Get rid of CO2Overcome shunt physiologyStay awakeIncreased metabolic supply30s
- Q6Can someone fake being diaphoretic?NoYes30s
- Q7Why is tachycardia and diaphoresis dangerous in the setting of increased work of breathingLikely to have metabolic acidosisHigh catecholamine surgeHigh concern for drug withdrawalNot really concerning30s
- Q8What is meant by shunt physiology?Inadequate ventilation with adequate perfusionInadequate ventilation with inadequate perfusionAdequate ventilation with adequate perfusionAdequate ventilation with inadequate perfusion30s
- Q9What is the underlying problem with shunt physiology?Fatigue from poor compliancePoor perfusion of the alveoliSomething in the alveoli that prevents them from expandingSomething in the alveoli that prevents adequate gas exchange30s
- Q10Why does positive pressure ventilation help with shunt physiology?Greater oxygen deliveryHelps with patient fatigueIncreased surface area for gas exchangeBetter carbon dioxide removal30s
- Q11What does it mean when there is an increase in FiO2 without an increase in PaO2?Mostly breathing with their mouthInadequate amount of oxygenNeed to change from NC to non-rebreatherNo gas exchange due to shunt physiology30s
- Q12What percentage of alveoli are involved in shunt physiology to have refractory hypoxia>50%>30%>55%>40%30s
- Q13What is usually a way to say a patient is unable to protect their airway and would be benefit from intubationFrequent lethargy and unable to carry on a conversationPooling of secretions in the airwayRecent StrokePoor cough30s
- Q14What is the glasglow coma score that is a general rule of thumb for intubationLess than 8Less than 11Less than 10Three30s
- Q15What happens to the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen when a patient is apneic?Increased carbon dioxide with decreased oxygenDecreased carbon dioxide with increased oxygenIncreased carbon dioxide with increased oxygenDecreased carbon dioxide with decreased oxygen30s
