An 87-kg male patient, orally intubated with a size 7.5 mm inner diameter (ID) endotracheal tube, is being mechanically ventilated in the pressure-controlled continuous mandatory ventila-tion (PC-CMV) mode
During patient rounds, both the low-pressure and low-volume alarms are sounding persistently on the ventilator. Upon observation of the patient, the respiratory therapist hears murmuring from the patient, with audible sounds during inspiration. The respiratory therapist notes the position of the endotracheal tube is 21 cm at the gum line, measures the cuff pressure, and adds 3 mL of air to the cuff. To make an appropriate seal, it requires 44 cm H2O. The respiratory therapist should do which of the following? a. Change to a larger size endotracheal tube. b. Add air to the cuff and clamp the pilot tube. c. Check the position of the endotracheal tube. d. Reposition the endotracheal tube in the mouth.
Which of the following computations is used to calculate mean arterial blood pressure?
A. Mean Arterial Pressure = (Cardiac Output * Systemic Vascular Resistance) + Central Venous Pressure B. Mean Arterial Pressure = (Cardiac Output / Systemic Vascular Resistance) + Central Venous Pressure C. Mean Arterial Pressure = (Cardiac Output / Central Venous Pressure) + Systemic Vascular Resistance D. Mean Arterial Pressure = (Cardiac Output * Central Venous Pressure) + Systemic Vascular Resistance
