B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: Common causes for failure of ventilator discontinuation are (1) respiratory drive failure: inability to generate a reliable respiratory drive because of central nervous system depression or the presence of sedative or neuromuscular blockade; (2) oxygenation failure: rapid hemoglobin desaturation from loss of expiratory pressure and/or Fio2; (3) cardiovascular failure: dysrhythmias and/or hypotension from catechol release, edema formation, or coronary hypoxemia caused by the loss of ventilatory support; and (4) muscle failure: muscle overload from abnormal respiratory system impedances in the setting of weakened, fatigued, or metabolically disturbed muscles.
