Question 2 · LEK · PEEP
Indicate the true statement on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation:
1) all neonates requiring postnatal ventilation must receive PEEP;
2) improves lung aeration, lung compliance and gas exchange;
3) reduces the need to use higher concentrations of oxygen in the breathing mixture.
The correct answer is:
2) improves lung aeration, lung compliance and gas exchange;
3) reduces the need to use higher concentrations of oxygen in the breathing mixture.
The correct answer is:
- A. 2,3.
- B. 1,2.
- C. 1,3.
- D. none of the above.
- E. all the above.
Hint
Consider what PEEP does to alveolar recruitment and oxygen requirement, and whether any intervention is truly obligatory for every ventilated neonate.
