On the Drager Fabius trio, when the breathing pressure goes above the set threshold for more than 15 seconds, what should your first step be?

Describe specific exercises that strengthen the diaphragm during concentric action and exercise examples during eccentric action. Make sure to not just list exercises. Describe how the body is positioned to move the weight so to engage the diaphragm

A patient receiving control-mode continuous mandatory ventilation has the following ABGs on an FiO2 of 0.4: pH = 7.51; PCO2 = 30 mm Hg; HCO3– = 25 mm Hg. Her current minute  ventilation (VE) is 7.9 L/min. What new VE would you recommend?  9.0 L/min 6.7 L/min 7.5 L/min 5.9 L/min

Prior to begin training for a marathon, you have some lung function tests performed. Your measured tidal volume at rest is 550 mL, your dead space volume is 150 mL, and your resting breathing rate is 12 breaths per minute. On a treadmill, your tidal volume increases to 1150 mL and your breathing rate increases to 30 breaths per minute. What is your alveolar ventilation rate when you are on the treadmill? O 30 Liters/min O 4.8 Liters/min O 12 Liters/min O 34.5 Liters/min O 6.6 Liters/min

What is the name of the air volume remaining in his lungs at the end of relaxed expiration?

Define oxygen dissociation curve. Can you suggest any reason for its sigmoidal pattern?

Both the elastic property of the lung and the air :water interface contribute to the overall recoil of the lung. What are the relative contributions of the elastic property and the air: water interface to the recoil of the lung? A)both contribute equally to the recoil of the lung. B)the elastic tissue contributes ~33% to the recoil of the lung. C)the air:water interface contributes ~33% to the recoil of the lung. D)the elastic tissue contributes ~67% to the recoil of the lung. E)the air:water interface contributes ~90% to the recoil of the lung.   With respect to LaPlace's Law, the amount of pressure needed to keep alveoli open when surfactant is missing will be A)increased B)decreased C)stay the same E)all of the above
