CASE 1: Uncompensated Acid/Base Imbalance An elderly gentleman is in a coma after suffering a severe stroke. He is in the intensive care unit and has been placed on a ventilator by a respiratory therapist in training. Ventilator Settings: Respiration Rate (RR): 10 breaths/min • Tidal Volume (TV): 350 ml/breath After a few hours you check on the patient and find him even more nonresponsive with diminished deep tendon reflexes. Vitals are as follows: RR: 10 breaths/min HR: 110 bpm BP: 135/95 mmHg Weight: 180 lbs Case 1- Question 1: Calculate the Minute Ventilation (MV) of this patient. Is this value normal for a resting individual? (Normal resting MV is 5-6L/min not on a ventilator) How does an individuals anatomical dead space change when they are placed on a ventilator and how does that impact the ventilator settings?

A 54-year-old male patient presents to the emergency department with chest pain that started 2 hours ago. He describes the pain as a pressure sensation in the center of his chest, radiating to his left arm. The patient has a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. His vital signs on admission are as follows: blood pressure 150/90 mmHg, heart rate 98 bpm, respiratory rate 20 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation 96% on room air. An electrocardiogram (ECG) shows ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. Based on this information, what is the most appropriate initial nursing action? A) Prepare the patient for an immediate coronary angiography. B) Administer sublingual nitroglycerin and aspirin as ordered. C) Start an intravenous insulin infusion. D) Provide supplemental oxygen and initiate continuous ECG monitoring.
4. Mr. Kee is intubated with a 7.5 mm orotracheal tube. He is in the ICU on a ventilator. The low-exhaled-volume alarm is sounding and Mr. Kee is phonating. His respiratory rate is 32 breaths/ minute, the heart rate is 122 bpm, and the pulse oximeter is 89 percent. You measure the cuff pressure to be 30 cm H2O, and the pilot tube and valve are intact. What would be your recommendations to remedy this situation?

CXR reveals correct placement of the ETT andPAC the presence of bilateral infiltrates. The ABG results indicate that the patient is experiencing respiratory alkalosis (elevated pH and decreased PaCO2), severe hypoxemia (low PaO 2 and SaO 2). Part 1: The patient's systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was approximately 1317 dynes/sec/cm^-5 Part 2: The patient's pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was approximately 420 dynes/sec/cm^-5. Part 3: Patient's arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-Vo 2) is 18.648 mLO2/dL Part 4: The patient's oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) is approximately 98.03% What is clinically happening to…
