How long after PEEP is increased should all ventilatory and available hemodynamic parameters be measured and calculated?
 
  a. 5 minutes
  b. 15 minutes
  c. 25 minutes
  d. 40 minutes



Q. 2  Which of the following patients may benefit from PEEP?
 
  a. COPD
  b. Asthma
  c. ARDS
  d. Cystic fibrosis



Q. 3  Assessing the outcome of PEEP at levels set above 15-20 cm H2O is best done using which of the following?
 
  a. Static compliance measurements
  b. Pressure-volume loop graphics
  c. Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure
  d. Central venous pressure measurements



Q. 4  The level of applied PEEP should be set at what point on the pressure-volume curve?
 
  a. At the upper inflection point of the infla-tion curve.
  b. Above the lower inflection point of the deflation curve.
  c. At the peak inspiration point of the infla-tion curve.
  d. Above the upper inflection point of the deflation curve.



Q. 5  An absolute contraindication to PEEP is which of the following?
