Which of the following actions can you use to decrease compressed volume loss during mechanical ventilation?
I.low-volume, low-compliance tubing
II.ventilator with minimal internal volume
III.low-volume humidifier or heat-moisture exchanger

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three actions can help decrease compressed volume loss during mechanical ventilation. Low-volume, low-compliance tubing reduces the amount of gas lost in the tubing. A ventilator with minimal internal volume decreases the space that needs to be filled before gas reaches the patient. A low-volume humidifier or heat-moisture exchanger minimizes the volume taken up by humidification devices, thus reducing the overall volume loss.
