The nurse will assess the infant for <u>signs of drug toxicity</u>.

Some drugs have a narrow therapeutic index, which means that there is only a small difference between the minimum effective concentrations and the minimum toxic concentrations in the blood. With such drugs, small increases in dose or in blood/serum concentrations could lead to toxic effects.

Nephrotoxicity can show signs of other types of decreased kidney function, such as decreased urination, swelling from fluid retention and high blood pressure. In some patients, nephrotoxicity can affect other body systems such as the liver or the skin and show signs in those areas as well.

The statement would that the nurse would utilize is that it allows the patient to breathe on his own while he can receive a preset number of breaths from the ventilator.

He/she can breathe as much or as little as he wants beyond what the ventilator will breathe for him.

SIMV stands for synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation.

can say a more of control form of ventilation.

With the help of SIMV, we set the rate, set either volume or pressure, and add in pressure support.

The role of SIMV is that it provides additional inspiratory pressure which doesn't let the patient work hard and also enable better oxygenation and a speedy recovery.

using SIMV is not a piece of cake, this can be a challenge to understand, as it is usually a combination of control, assisted and spontaneous breaths and to check it requires skills.
