High-frequency oscillatory ventilation settings include all of the following except:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed settings are parameters that can be adjusted during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, except for PEEP. HFOV uses a constant mean airway pressure, oscillating pressure waveform (ΔP), FiO₂, and frequency in hertz (Hz). PEEP is not applied during HFOV because the oscillatory pressure waveform already provides an end-expiratory pressure.
