Choose the answer for the questions below according to what is stated.

|
1. Do you believe that during your medical training you received sufficient information to manage the mechanical ventilation patient? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
2. Have you ever handled an artificial ventilator during the course of your training or in your medical residency program? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
3. Is it reasonable to say that you would have difficulties even turning a mechanical ventilation device on? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
4. Would you fear for the safety of a patient you are caring for if invasive mechanical ventilation was required? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
5. Do you currently have a patient in the emergency room requiring noninvasive mechanical ventilation? Would you be able to begin this intervention for this patient? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
6. Would you be able to safely set a ventilator to controlled pressure mode? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
7. Would you be able to safely set a ventilator to controlled volume mode? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
8. Would you be able to set a ventilator to pressure support mode? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
9. Do you know what patient-ventilator interactions can occur and their possible clinical implications? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
10. In your medical school or residency program, do you believe there is a sufficient number of teaching physicians who are able to guide you on mechanical ventilation? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
11. Do you think you could establish adequate sedation in a patient on mechanical ventilation? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
12. I am dissatisfied with my knowledge about mechanical ventilation, and I think I should improve it. |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
13. Do you think that a physician should bypass gaining knowledge about mechanical ventilation because another professional will be able to help? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
14. You are treating a 30-year-old healthy patient weighing 120 kg measured on a perfectly calibrated scale. There is indication for invasive mechanical ventilation that is not related to respiratory or cardiovascular medical conditions. Suppose you have to set a tidal volume. What is your suggestion for ventilation in relation only to the tidal volume provided? |
a) Only 4 ml/kg of body weight.b) 10 ml/kg of body weight because the patient is healthy.c) To be sincere, I would not know. I would ask another professional.d) There are not enough elements to answer this question. |
15. You need to start mechanical ventilation in a patient using an oxygen torpedo tube. The nurse provides a valve with a flow meter to be used. It is noted that the device does not “cycle”, although the torpedo is full, and the valve and machine are in perfect working order. Would you know what could be happening? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
16. Do you know any technical standard associated with the use of medical gases? |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
17. Have you ever used a specific scale of pain evaluation in patients on mechanical ventilation? Choose true or false. |
Yes ( ) No ( ) |
