In noninvasive ventilation,________________ keeps the terminal airways (alveoli)partially inflated,reducing the risk for atelectasis.
Noninvasive Ventilation
A method of providing ventilatory support through the patient's upper airway using a mask or similar device without the need for endotracheal intubation.
Terminal Airways
The final portions of the airway in the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs, including the bronchioles and alveoli.
Atelectasis
A condition characterized by the collapse of part or all of a lung, leading to decreased gas exchange and potentially breathing difficulties.
- Evaluate assorted oxygen distribution mechanisms to determine the optimal approach for securing high concentrations of oxygen during emergencies.
- Identify patients who are least likely to benefit from certain postoperative respiratory support techniques.
Verified Answer
Continuous positive airway pressure keeps the alveoli partially inflated,reducing the risk for atelectasis;if atelectasis has occurred,positive pressure assists in reinflation.
