• Metabolic Alkalosis

Increasing levels of carbon dioxide will cause:

• Bronchodilation

• Broncho-constriction

• Vasodilation

• Vasoconstriction

Which of the following is not a complication of positive pressure ventilation?

• Peptic Ulcer

• Pneumonia

• Decreased ICP

During RSI, which of the following complications can result from paralysis with induction? Select all that apply

• apnea

• hypoventilation

• hyperventilation

• difficult intubation

Epinephrine will cause bronchodilation

• True

• False

100% oxygen for at least 1 minute before intubating a patient is important. This called__________

• hyperventilating

• hyperoxygenation

• hypercapnia

• hypoventilation

Prolonged attempts at intubation may lead to:

• hyperventilation

• hypocarbia

• hypertension

• hypoxia

SALBUTAMOL (Ventolin) will:

• Decrease O2 supply

• Dry up secretions

• Decrease heart rate

• Increase HR

Which of the following patients would be candidates for non-invasive ventilation? Select all that apply

• Head injury with a GCS of 5

• CHF exacerbation

• Obstructive sleep apnea

• COPD exacerbation

From a physiological perspective, removal of CO2 can be enhanced by...

• Increasing respiratory rate & increasing tidal volume

• Increasing FiO2 & increasing PEEP

• Decreasing tidal volume & increasing FiO2

• Decreasing respiratory rate & decreasing FiO2
