II.Decreased arterial blood pressure
III.Increased pulmonary vascular resistance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) can lead to decreased cardiac output due to increased intrathoracic pressure, which reduces venous return to the heart. This can also lead to decreased arterial blood pressure for the same reason. Additionally, PPV can increase pulmonary vascular resistance by compressing pulmonary vessels.
