Question 1
A 4-year-old with pneumonia is intubated for hypoxemic respiratory failure. ABG on FiO2 0.8, PEEP 10, mean airway pressure 18 cmH2O shows PaO2 72. What is the oxygenation index (OI)?
Correct Answer:
20
Question 2
Per PALICC-2, which non-invasive SpO2-based variable can be used in place of PaO2/FiO2 when arterial access is unavailable to categorize PARDS?
Correct Answer:
Oxygen saturation index (OSI) = (MAP x FiO2 x 100) / SpO2
Question 3
What tidal volume target is recommended for lung-protective ventilation in pediatric ARDS with preserved respiratory system compliance?
Correct Answer:
5-8 mL/kg predicted body weight
Question 4
In severe PARDS with refractory hypoxemia despite optimized conventional ventilation, which adjunct has the best supporting evidence for improved oxygenation and mortality in adults and is conditionally recommended in children?
Correct Answer:
Prone positioning for >= 12 hours/day
Question 5
A 10-kg child on conventional ventilation for severe PARDS has OI 42, persistent hypoxemia, and pH 7.20. Which rescue therapy is most appropriate to consider?
