these factors will determine the use of NIV compared to intubation hypoxemia is a poor stimulus for - correct answer dyspnea compared to hypercapnia the four factors that explain the perception of silent hypoxemia in COVID- 19 - correct answer 1. compensatory mild hypocapnia

  1. pneumothorax.subcutaneous emphysema (0.2-5%)
  2. accidental tube dislodgment (3-4%)
  3. secretion obstruction (5%) recommendations for enhanced personal protection during tracheostomy - correct answer o Procedure done in a negative pressure room with personnel using a powered air-purifying(PAPR) device oA fit-tested filtering facepiece (FFP3) o Or an N95 along with face shield/eye goggles and an additional surgical mask, caps,boots, fluid- repellent disposable gown and double gloves The majority of studies found no COVID 19 reports among the surgical what are the 2 types of ECMO - correct answer 1. V-V-ECMO (venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)
  4. V-A-ECMO (veno arterial extracorporeal membran oxygenation) V-V ECMO - correct answer Enhances oxygenation, CO2 elimination and extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal for lung protective ventilation and used in 92-100% of cases. It is used for patients in respiratory failure V-A ECMO - correct answer Enhances systemic O2 delivery in cardiac failure by taking blood from the right atriumand returning it to the arterial system which bypasses the heart and lu guidelines for ECMO - correct answer o Initiation under 7 days from the start of mechanical ventilation with reversable respiratory failure o PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than 80 that is persistent with PEEP greater than or equal to 10cmH and FiO2 greater than or equal to 80, or PEEP that is 15 or greatercmH2O o Uncompensated respiratory Acidosis o Pplat greater than 35 cmH2O

o If hypoxemia happens >6 hours and persist with therapies that also support gas exchange(example, proning) ECMO timing and duration - correct answer The average length of ECMO was 13 to 20 days, with initiation typically occurring 3 to 6days after the start of mechanical ventilation ECMO ventilator guidelines - correct answer PEEP: 10-15 cm H2O Pplat: <25 cm H2O Driving Pressure: <15 cm H2O Respiratory Frequency: 4-10 breaths/min targeted SpO2: >85% FiO2: <50% absolute contraindications with ECMO and Covid- 19 - correct answer o Advanced age o Clinical frailty score > 3 o Mechanical ventilation > 10 days o Significant underlying comorbidities o Severe multiorgan dysfunction syndrome o Severe acute neurologic injury o Uncontrolled bleeding o Inability to receive blood product relative contraindications with ECMO and COVID- 19 - correct answer o Age > 65 years o Body mass index > 40 o Immunocompromised

what was shown to impact delivered humidity of heated humidification and HMEs - correct answer changes in envoronemental conditions Post-extubation stridor for COVID-19 has been attributed to a much greater rate byseveral groups associated with: - correct answer โ— Prolonged intubation โ— Excessive airway cuff pressures โ— Agitation โ— Multiple intubations โ— A large ETT diameter relative to the native airway Some factors that might explain the elevation in post-extubation stridor beyond anyspecific COVID-19 pathophysiology - correct answer โ— Emergently intubated โ— A shock โ— Nursed in the prone position ARDs patients can experience - correct answer ventilator-induced lung injury due to high tidal volumes or excessive PEEP this is because the lungs are already injured (ARDS) and have a reduced amount of tissue that is able to accept the volumes and pressure reciprocal organ crosstalk - correct answer ventilator-induced lung injury that contributes to already presentinflammation therefore causing tissue injury to other organs. 3 principles of lung protective ventilation - correct answer 1) Use of physiological tidal volumes (4-8 mL/kg) This in turn keeps the Pplat below 30 cm H2O and the driving pressure below 15cm H2O

  1. Adequate PEEP levels to regain normal FRC values (<15 cm H2O)
  2. Use the least amount of oxygen (preferrably < 0.60) possible to achieve appropriatePaO2. the most recent research supports the use of APP to - correct answer delay intubation in individuals with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure caused by COVID- 19

patients who require advanced respiratory support such as HFNC, CPAP/NIV should use - correct answer APP it is advised that the use of APP is for - correct answer 8 hours everyday efforts should be made to help in improving patient compliance/tolerance to APP prolonged prone positioning for 24 hours rather than 16 hours could help - correct answer minimize the need for repositioning, but further research is needed to determine it safety and efficacy gas is delivered to the hospital via - correct answer a series of pipes od varying sizes depending upon position in the system and intended endpoint the size of pipes serving in the ICU are - correct answer larger than on general floors advantage of the hsopital-based liquid oxygen (LOX) system is - correct answer a liter of oxygen evaporates into 860 L of gaseous oxygen emergency back up systems in hospitals include - correct answer room-size oxygen concentrators banked cylinders portable liquid systems the pandemic stressed oxygen systems because of - correct answer the unusual high oxygen requirements of so many patients. oxygen deliveries had to be more frequent to meet demands piping system goes to the floors called - correct answer risers piping turns horizontally to feed the bed spaces on that floor called - correct answer laterals lateral have a zone valve that allows that portion to be isolated within the piping system there are choke points. choke points represent - correct answer epresent narrowing of the gasdelivery system and increased resistance reducing flow distal to the choke point, negativelyimpacting high gas consumption therapies The higher the flow through these lines, and the smaller the diameter, the greater the pressure drop

clinical experience with shared ventilation - correct answer The clinical experience concluded that the ventilator must be put in pressure control modebecause in volume control if one patient had a pneumo all of that tidal volume would be divertedto the other patient The main goal is to have a titratable Vt and pressure for each patient. To do this the inspiratoryside has to connect to a Y-piece, one way valve, PEEP meter, flow meter, and HME. Theexpiratory side was set the same way but with another HME at the end of the Y-piece
