The Ventilator Graphics Generated by Mechanical Ventilation with Pressure-Controlled Continuous

question 27

Multiple Choice

The ventilator graphics generated by mechanical ventilation with pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventilation (PC-CMV) ,rate 18,peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 25 cm H₂O,positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5 cm H₂O,are shown in the scalars below.Interpretation of these scalars reveals which of the following?

• A) The flow rate is set too high and should be reduced.
• B) There is air trapping that could be due to a high respiratory rate.
• C) The ventilator settings are appropriate and there are no problems.
• D) There is a leak in the system that needs to be identified and corrected.
