MULTIPLE CHOICE

 

1. The pneumatic control logic of the Airon pNeuton requires a flow of _____ L/min to operate.

a.	1	c.	3
b.	2	d.	4

 

 

ANS:  C

The internal control logic requires a flow of 3 L/min. The additional 1 L/min on the Airon pNeuton model A is to power the patient-disconnect alarm.

 

PTS:   1                    REF:   Page 515

 

2. What alarm(s) is (are) on the Airon pNeuton ventilator?
3. Low positive end-expiratory pressure/continuous positive airway pressure
4. Patient disconnect
5. High patient pressure
6. Low oxygen inlet pressure

a.	2 only	c.	2 and 4
b.	1 and 4	d.	1, 2, 3, and 4

 

 

ANS:  C

The pNeuton has two functional alarms that are always active: a low oxygen inlet pressure alarm that activates at pressures less than 30 psi and a patient-disconnect alarm that sounds when a disconnect situation is sensed by the ventilator.

 

PTS:   1                    REF:   Page 516

 

3. Which of the following modes of operation are offered by the Airon pNeuton?
4. Volume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation
5. Pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation
6. Continuous positive airway pressure
7. Pressure-regulated volume control

a.	1, 2, and 3	c.	1, 3, and 4
b.	2, 3, and 4	d.	2 and 3

 

 

ANS:  A

The pNeuton offers nonsynchronized volume-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation or pressure-controlled intermittent mandatory ventilation and positive end-expiratory pressure/continuous positive airway pressure.

 

PTS:   1                    REF:   Pages 516-517

 

4. The bias flow on the Airon pNeuton is _____ L/min.

a.	3	c.	8
b.	5	d.	10

 

 

ANS:  D

The pneumatic system of the pNeuton provides a continuous flow of gas through the circuit of approximately 10 L/min to meet the inspiratory demand during spontaneous breaths.

 

PTS:   1                    REF:   Page 517

 

5. The internal direct current battery of the Bio-Med Crossvent operates for approximately ____ hours.

a.	2	c.	6
b.	4	d.	8

 

 

ANS:  C

The internal direct current battery is operational for approximately 6 hours when fully charged.
