Exam 5: Apnea of Prematurity and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

What drug is a mast cell stabilizer that shows great promise with improved lung Compliance and mechanical ventilation requirements, but not with prophylactic treatment

In recent studies, sufficient evidence has been given to support the routine use of inhaled nitric oxide as a rescue therapy for treatment of respiratory distress syndrome.

Successfully minimizing bronchopulmonary dysplasia rates in infants less than 1,500 g can be done by implementing all of the following modalities of care except:

What is the diuretic of choice to treat ventilator-dependent infants with impending bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or established BPD

Which of the following drugs is Considered the safest and most effective in treating apnea in premature infants

All of the following are Common side effects of adrenergic bronchodilators except:

What is a mechanical ventilation strategy that can be used to decrease the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia

The risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia Consist of all of the following except:

Bradycardia always occurs with an apnea episode and associated saturation problems.

Systemic steroids have greater adverse effects than do inhaled steroids in the management of ventilator-dependent preterm infants.

What is the first action a clinician needs to perform for a patient experiencing apnea

Classify what is meant by an extreme apneic event:

What is the physiological difference between "old bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)" and "new BPD" I.Old BPD was a direct result of injury to the lung as a result of oxygen and mechanical ventilation. II.New BPD is Considered a developmental delay or arrest of lung tissue. III.There is no difference between the two terms; it is just a revision of terminology. IV.Old BPD occurs in infants under 1,500 g requiring mechanical ventilation and new BPD has been eliminated as a result of surfactant use.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and asthma are similar in their pathology.

High doses of dexamethasone given to an infant within the first week after birth can increase the risk for all of the following except:

A decrease in incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia has been seen in all of the following modalities of care except:

All of the following are examples of antioxidant enzymes that have been suggested to decrease lung injury except:

What is a major predictor of neurodevelopment outComes

What is the best mode of therapy used to treat obstructive sleep apnea in infants

What drug is Considered essential for growth of cells and tissues and shows promise to reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia
