Exam 14: Infant and Pediatric Devices

The Bunnell Life Pulse High-Frequency Jet Ventilator is being set up to ventilate an infant who has already been intubated with a regular endotracheal tube.A 2.5-mm internal diameter Life Port adapter is being used. The conventional peak inspiratory pressure is set at 26 cm H₂O.The high-frequency jet ventilation peak inspiratory pressure should be set at a pressure of _____ cm H₂O.

What is the maximum tidal volume available for a time-triggered,pressure-limited,time-cycled infant ventilator with the flow rate set at 6 L/min and the inspiratory time at 0.6 second?

The CareFusion SiPAP is set to deliver an inspiratory positive airway pressure of 6 cm H₂O and an expiratory positive airway pressure of 3 cm H₂O.The high airway pressure alarm would activate at which of the following pressures?

What is the maximum available tidal volume for a time-triggered,pressure-limited,time-cycled infant ventilator with the flow rate set at 8 L/min and the inspiratory time at 0.4 second?

Which of the following statements concerning the CareFusion Bird Partner IIi monitor is true? 1)This device uses a vortex ultrasonic device to measure flow. 2)To prevent obstructions,12 mL/min of gas is passed through the pressure line. 3)This device can measure artificial airway leak only with the use of the infant sensor 4)Placement of the pediatric and infant sensors is the same in the ventilator tubing.

Which operating mode on the Dräger Babylog 8000 allows the clinician to adjust the flow during the expiratory phase to match the patient's needs during mandatory and spontaneous breaths?

When the Dräger Babylog 8000+ is used in the pressure support mode,the patient's peak inspiratory flow is 30 L/min.At what flow rate will the ventilator cycle to expiration?

Which alarms remain audible in the standby mode on the CareFusion AirLife Nasal CPAP System Driver? 1)Low flow 2)Disconnect 3)High pressure 4)Low oxygen pressure

A CareFusion SiPAP device is being used to support an infant; the pressure is set a high pressure of 12 cm H₂O and a low pressure of 4 cm H₂O.The low airway pressure alarm will be activated if the pressure drops _______ cm H₂O below the set level.

Mean airway pressure can be increased when ventilating with the Bunnell Life Pulse High-Frequency Jet Ventilator by doing which of the following?

The bias flow for the CareFusion V.I.P.Gold Ventilator when the Pediatric "Smart" Flow Sensor is in use is _____ L/min.

What is the function of the purge valve on the Bunnell Life Pulse High-Frequency Jet Ventilator?

Lowering the frequency on the CareFusion 3100A or 3100B would do which of the following? 1)Decrease the volume delivered 2)Increase the inspiratory time 3)Increase the volume delivered 4)Increase the mean airway pressure

On the CareFusion V.I.P.Bird Gold Infant Ventilator,the control that ends a pressure support breath in case of a leak also does which of the following to the breath?

What is the available range for peak inspiratory pressure for a Dräger Babylog 8000 infant ventilator?
