6 TEST ANSWER KEY 7 Correct Out of 10 is Passing 1. The measurement of Vd/Vt during mechanical ventilation is a signifier of lung overdistension. True 2. Volumetric capnography, though an advancement in capnography, failed to eliminate the compression volume problem. False volumetric capnography does eliminate the compression volume problem. 3. Phase II of capnography is reflective of gas diffusion. False phase II reflects bulk gas flow. 4. It is better to perform measurements with a clean cuvette, removing condensate. True 5. The respiratory therapist notes that there is a loss of inflection point on the capnography curve at the junction of Phase II and Phase III. This could be caused by high alveolar deadspace. True 6. An open lung approach is a safe and consistent strategy for alveolar recruitment. False the results can be variable and the evidence does not support the safety of this approach. 7. The evidence does not support the use of PEEP over 10 cm H2O in ARDS. False the evidence supports up to 20cm H2O in ARDS, though over 20cm H2O is seldom necessary. 8. PEEP can reduce preload and afterload, when applied appropriately. True 9. An incremental PEEP titration can be useful in improving oxygenation. True 10. To avoid overdistension of the alveoli, one must limit the tidal volume and plateau pressure. True Page 6
