4. Question # 2
A male patient with COPD has the following arterial blood gases:
pH = 7.21,
PaCO2 = 89 mm Hg
PaO2 = 55 mm Hg on 24% oxygen
HCO3- = 38 mmEq/L.
The patient is 65 year old and has an ideal body weight of 140 lbs (64 kg) and a BSA of 1.5 m2 …

5. What mode of ventilation and would be appropriate?
VC-IMV
Pressure Support
CPAP
PC-CMV

6. Question # 3
This COPD patient is 65 years old and has an ideal body weight of 140 lbs (64 kg) and a BSA of 1.5 m2

7. The patient is 65 year old and has an ideal body weight of 140 lbs (64 kg) and a BSA of 1.5 m2…What Initial Setting would be appropriate for VE?
3 ml/kg
4.0 x BSA

8. Question # 4
A 5’4” tall 35 y.o. male with Pickwickian syndrome (weight = 340 lbs) is to be placed on mechanical ventilatory support. What strategy should be used for the initial tidal volume he will require?

9. What procedure would you use to set initial VT for this 340 lb. pt.?
106+6(H-60)/2.2*8ml/kg=VT
105+5(H-60)/2.2*10ml/kg=VT
Set VT = 10 ml * 340/2.2
Set VT = 8 ml * 340/2.2

10. What is the primary Ventilatory challenge for this population of pts?
Question # 5
What mode and initial f is appropriate for this Pickwickian pt if he shows a decreased pH, & PaO2 and an increased Pa CO2 despite a spontaneous f or 30/min.?

11. CPAP with f = 0 VC-IMV with f = 8/min VC-IMV with f = 14 /min
What mode and initial f is appropriate for this Pickwickian pt if he shows a decreased pH, & PaO2 and an increased Pa CO2 despite a spontaneous f or 30/min.?
CPAP with f = 0
VC-IMV with f = 8/min
VC-IMV with f = 14 /min
VC CMV with f =12/min
