Which topics should you focus on Medical Questions Help and where can you find them? Glad you asked! Focus your attention on the following: Chapter 25- Positive Pressure Ventilation: The Basics
- Describe plateau pressure and what it monitors (Pg. 323)Discuss the effects on the lung due to the difference of plateau pressure and PEEP level (Pg. 323)In Pressure Control (PC) ventilation describe the effects of flow pattern and ability to measure lung resistance (Pg. 323)
- Identify the typical mean airway pressure measurements and the relationship to lung disease (Pgs. 323-324)
- Lung Injury
