Respiratory 445

3. This can be considered a direct cause of ARDS
6. This type of collapse occurs in ARDS due to the damage of the type II pneumocytes that produce the surfactant in the lungs.
7. Positioning the patient with good lung ____ helps improve gas exchange by optimizing the V/Q ratio.
9. Mechanical _____ is the primary treatment for the refractory hypoxemia of ARDS
10. This assessment is a priority with any ventilated patient
11. The clinical manifestations of this can include increases of heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure in an effort to increase oxygenation and perfusion
13. This ARDS phase includes clinical manifestations of hypercarbia and worsening hypoxemia
16. This type of ventilation-perfusion mismatch is a risk factor for developing acute respiratory failure
19. Using low tidal volumes for ARDS is aimed to help prevent this which can result in aveolar rupture
20. The clinical manifestations of this can produce headache, confusion, and a decreased level of consciousness or increased somnolence
21. The primary functions of the respiratory system is the provision of _____ and removal of carbon dioxide

1. This is a clinical manifestation of a tension pneumothorax
2. Continuous bubbling in this chamber indicates that there is an air leak
4. This type of hypoxia is an assessment finding that could indicate suspected acute respiratory distress syndrome.
5. An early clinical manifestation of respiratory failure
8. These type of blocking agents are used to help reduce barotrauma that can occur in ventilated patients experiencing dyssynchrony with the vent
12. This keeps the alveoli from collapsing, allowing maximum gas exchange to continue throughout the respiratory cycle
14. This ARDS phase typically occurs within the first 24-48 hours after injury
15. The biggest risk factor for a pulmonary embolism (PE)
17. Pulmonary edema associated with ARDS is caused by increased permeability of this
18. Any patient on mechanical ventilation is at risk for this
