Mask Ventilation — Flashcards

Flashcard 1: Preoxygenation with tidal volume breathing of _____ mins is required before tracheal intubation

Answer: 3

Flashcard 2: _____ airway is also known as Guedel airway

Answer: Oropharyngeal

Flashcard 3: What is the recommended tidal volume (Vt) for standard lung-protective mechanical ventilation?

Answer: 6-8 mL/kg of Ideal Body Weight (IBW)

Extra: Lung-protective ventilation aims to prevent volutrauma and ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). It is critical to calculate the volume based on **Ideal Body Weight (IBW)** based on height and gender, rather than actual weight, to avoid overdistension. In patients with ARDS, even lower volumes (4-6 mL/kg IBW) are recommended.

Flashcard 4: _____ Ventilation is time-triggered, time-cycled, and pressure-limited.

Answer: Pressure Controlled

Flashcard 5: _____ is a fixed performance device which delivers a fixed concentration of oxygen (FiO2), irrespective of the patient efforts.

Answer: Venturi mask

Flashcard 6: _____ delivers oxygen at 40-60 L/min and increases PEEP

Answer: High-flow nasal cannula

Flashcard 7: _____ delivers oxygen at 40-60 L/min and increases PEEP

Answer: High-flow nasal cannula

Flashcard 8: The following capnography waveform represents: _____

Answer: spontaneous breathing

Flashcard 9: The following capnography waveform represents: _____

Answer: single lung transplant

Flashcard 10: The following capnography waveform represents: _____

Answer: IMV in midst of spontaneous breathing
