Across
  1. 1. The number of breaths taken per minute, an essential parameter for evaluating a patient's respiratory status
  2. 2. A mode or setting that provides a preset level of pressure to assist each spontaneous breath, reducing the work of breathing
  3. 3. The percentage of oxygen in the gas mixture that is inhaled, important for assessing and managing a patient's oxygenation
  4. 4. The highest pressure reached during inhalation, indicating the resistance of the airway and lung compliance
  5. 7. A medical device inserted into the trachea to secure an airway for ventilation
  6. 11. A therapy that uses a continuous stream of air to keep the airways open
  7. 12. The "O" in the DOPE acronym
  8. 13. The "D" in the DOPE acronym
  9. 15. The volume of air exhaled during a single breath, important for monitoring lung function and ventilation effectiveness
  10. 17. The average pressure in the airways during one complete respiratory cycle, reflecting the overall pressure exerted on the lungs
  11. 20. an intervention you might try for a patient who has a high PIP
  12. 21. A mode of ventilation that allows for spontaneous breaths at the patient's own rate while providing mandatory breaths at set intervals
  13. 23. The "E" in the DOPE acronym
Down
  1. 1. Your teammate who is an expert in all things ventilation
  2. 5. A ventilator setting that maintains pressure in the airways at the end of expiration to improve oxygenation and prevent alveolar collapse
  3. 6. a non-invasive ventilation method that provides two levels of pressure, higher during inhalation and lower during exhalation, to assist patients with breathing difficulties
  4. 8. A mode of ventilation that adapts to the patient's neural respiratory effort, providing assistance based on the electrical signals from the diaphragm
  5. 9. The volume of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath, critical for assessing ventilation adequacy
  6. 10. This type of pressure alarm might be caused when the patient becomes disconnected from the ventilator
  7. 14. measurement of carbon dioxide at the end of exhalation, normal range 35-45
  8. 16. the duration of seconds a ventilator spends delivering a breath to the patient
  9. 18. The "P" in the DOPE acronym
  10. 19. The total volume of gas inhaled or exhaled from a person's lungs in one minute
  11. 22. air escaping from the ventilation system often from around the ETT
  12. 24. Measurement of carbon dioxide in the patient's arterial blood
