Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: In abdominal compartment syndrome, peak inspiratory pressure _____, leading to hypoxia

Answer: increases

Flashcard 2: Treatment of ARDS includes mechanical ventilation with _____ and most importantly low tidal volumes

Answer: positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)

Flashcard 3: If after CPR initiation, the arterial relaxation phase (diastolic) pressure is < _____ mmHg, one should attempt to improve CPR quality.

Answer: 20

Extra: AHA ACLS guidelines recommend using physiological monitoring to optimize CPR quality. If an arterial line is present, a diastolic blood pressure (relaxation phase pressure) < 20 mmHg indicates that chest compressions should be improved (by adjusting rate, depth, or allowing full recoil) or vasopressor therapy should be optimized.

Flashcard 4: In the ACLS algorithm for VF/pVT, which medication is administered every 3-5 minutes starting after the second shock?

Answer: Epinephrine

Flashcard 5: 2020 AHA guidelines recommendations:Parameters such as _____ may be used to monitor and optimize CPR quality

Answer: ETCO2

Flashcard 6: In a cardiac arrest patient, if an intravenous access cannot be made, _____ is the next best way to administer epinephrine

Answer: intraosseus

Flashcard 7: Patients who suffer unexpected cardiac arrest during or after the determination of brain death are classified under Category _____ of Modified Maastricht classification

Answer: IV

Flashcard 8: What is the target plateau pressure for lung protection in ARDS ventilation?

Answer: ≤ 30 cm H2O

Flashcard 9: During CPR, a sudden sustained increase in ETCO2 (capnography) represents:_____

Answer: Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)

Extra: A sudden sustained increase in ETCO2 (typically >35-40 mmHg) is a reliable indicator of ROSC during CPR.

Flashcard 10: During CPR, what PETCO2 value indicates that chest compression quality should be improved?

Answer: < 10 mmHg

Extra: According to ACLS guidelines, if PETCO2 is < 10 mmHg during CPR, it is an indicator to improve the quality of chest compressions. A sudden sustained increase in PETCO2 (usually to > 35-40 mmHg) is a sign of Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC).
