Sample Questions

Question 1
According to the Berlin definition of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which criterion is mandatory for establishing the diagnosis and severity classification?
Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) <= 18 mmHg
Lung compliance < 30 mL/cmH2O
PaO2/FiO2 ratio <= 300 mmHg on PEEP or CPAP >= 5 cmH2O
Bilateral opacities on chest radiography with clear cardiomegaly
Question 2
In patients with ARDS receiving mechanical ventilation, driving pressure (P_driving) has been identified as a key variable correlated with hospital survival. How is driving pressure calculated on a volume-controlled mode during a passive breath?
Plateau pressure minus PEEP (Pplat - PEEP)
Peak inspiratory pressure minus PEEP (PIP - PEEP)
Peak inspiratory pressure minus Plateau pressure (PIP - Pplat)
Mean airway pressure minus PEEP (Pmean - PEEP)
Question 3
When initiating lung-protective mechanical ventilation in a male patient who is 175 cm tall with severe ARDS, what is the initial target tidal volume?
8 mL/kg of actual body weight
6 mL/kg of predicted body weight (PBW)
10 mL/kg of predicted body weight (PBW)
6 mL/kg of actual body weight
Question 4
Based on the landmark PROSEVA trial, which clinical parameter and protocol duration define the indication for prone positioning in severe ARDS?
PaO2/FiO2 < 300 mmHg, applied only after failure of inhaled nitric oxide
PaO2/FiO2 < 150 mmHg with FiO2 >= 0.6 and PEEP >= 10 cmH2O, applied for >= 16 consecutive hours per session
PaO2/FiO2 < 100 mmHg with PEEP >= 15 cmH2O, applied continuously for 72 hours without turning back
PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mmHg with PEEP >= 5 cmH2O, applied for 4-6 hours daily
Question 5
During mechanical ventilation of a patient with severe COPD exacerbation, auto-PEEP (intrinsic PEEP) is suspected. Which ventilator graphic maneuver confirms the presence and magnitude of auto-PEEP?
Inspiratory hold maneuver at the end of inspiration
Expiratory hold maneuver at the end of expiration in a passively breathing patient
Increasing inspiratory flow rate during volume control
Measuring peak inspiratory pressure during spontaneous breathing
