• True

• False

Which of the following is NOT a respiratory therapy procedure?

• Helping the lungs oxygenate the blood and tissues

• Assessing the condition of the lungs

• Evaluating the lungs' ability to rid the body of carbon dioxide

• Testing the fluids inside of the lungs

Are used to help assess the level of lung function and determine whether specific types of illness or conditions are present

• Monitoring oxygen therapy

• Respiratory diagnostic procedures

• Hyperinflation therapy

• Aerosol therapy

This diagnostic test is used to assess level of $O_2$   ,  $CO_2$  , and other elements in the bloodstream

• Pulmonary function test

• Arterial blood gas

• Pulse oximetry

This diagnostic test is used to determine impaired functioning & diagnose disease by measuring lung volumes and flow rates

• Pulmonary function test

• Pulse oximetry

• Arterial blood gas

This diagnostic test is used to measure the level of $O_2$   carrying capabilities in the blood.

• Arterial blood gas

• Pulse Oximetry

• Pulse oximetry

Is when a patient is attached to a machine to help them breath

• The patients asked for the machine, so they don't have to worry about breathing anymore.

• When a patient goes into respiration arrest (they stop breathing)

• When other respiratory procedures fails to keep the lungs from moving enough $O_2$ into the bloodstream and from removing enough $CO_2$ from the lungs

Who manages the life-support ventilators that take over the work of the lungs until they can recover (Think about this test)
