BCEN CFRN Practice Question

A 68-year-old patient with a history of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is intubated for acute respiratory failure. When setting the initial parameters for invasive mechanical ventilation, which of the following is the most critical consideration to prevent iatrogenic complications?

  • Maximizing tidal volume to rapidly reverse respiratory acidosis

  • Allowing for adequate expiratory time to prevent air trapping

  • Targeting a PaO2 level above 100 mmHg with a high FiO2

  • Using a high respiratory rate to normalize the PaCO2 level
