How does an increase in the total vessel length cause an increase in blood pressure?
finlep [7]

Answer:

The blood pressure is directly proportional to the total length of the vessel.

Explanation:

The blood pressure is directly proportional to the total length of the vessel.

The long blood vessel will have higher the resistance and the flow of blood will be lower.

Thus, making intuitive sense, as with blood volume, as the vessel's enhanced surface area will impede blood flow. This lowering area will lead to the higher blood pressure through the blood vessel. Similarly with the reduction in the resistance of the blood vessel, the blood flow will boost.

slega [8]

The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.

  • An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
  • To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.

An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:

  • The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
  • inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
  • nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
  • Circuit and tube connections that are loose
  • The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.
