IV.Inability to provide 100% FiO₂ free-flowing dependably

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option I and II are true statements regarding the disadvantages of self-inflating bags. The inability to know if a good seal is being obtained can lead to ineffective ventilation, while a reservoir attachment is required to achieve 100% FiO₂. However, option III is not true. Self-inflating bags can't provide 100% FiO₂ free-flowing dependably because the FiO₂ delivery varies according to variables like the patient's respiratory rate, the volume of air in the bag or the tightness of the mask. So, option IV is also a true statement about the limitations of self-inflating bags. Therefore, options I, II, IV are correct, making option C the correct choice.
