Which of the following is a compact, inexpensive, single-patient intermittent positive-pressure breathing device?
a. Bird Mark 7 c. Puritan Bennett PR-1
b. Puritan Bennett AP-4 d. VORTRAN-IPPB device
ANS: D
The VORTRAN-IPPB device provides short-term, pressure-triggered, pressure-cycled, con-stant-flow ventilatory support in combination with aerosol therapy. The primary advantage of these devices is that they are relatively compact and inexpensive compared with conventional intermittent positive-pressure breathing devices. In addition, the VORTRAN-IPPB units are sin-gle-patient, multiple-use devices, a situation that reduces the incidence of nosocomial infections caused by cross-contamination.
