Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Good bronchial hygiene, frequent patient positioning, prophylactic surfactant delivery, pressure-volume loop interpretation, and proper ventilator management are all important in the prevention and early management of respiratory distress syndrome. While obtaining arterial blood gas results is important in mechanical ventilation management, it may not necessarily need to be done before making changes. Early withdrawal of noninvasive ventilation may also not be necessary in all cases. Therefore, options III and VII are not essential guidelines for care.
