You are en route to the hospital with a patient who is unresponsive and has hot, dry skin. His friends state that he has been drinking and passed out in the hot sun for several hours before 911 was called. An Emergency Medical Responder is ventilating the patient with a bag-valve mask attached to high-concentration oxygen. Which one of the following actions would be most beneficial to the patient

at this time? A) Be prepared for vomiting by placing him in a prone position. B) Wrap him in a sheet that has been soaked with cold water. C) Place cold packs to the patient's groin and armpits. D) Gently pour cold water over the patient to rapidly cool him down.

While ventilating a grossly obese ARDS patient, the therapist notices that the Pplateau has suddenly risen from 30 cm H2O to 40 cm H2O. What should the therapist do at this time?

A. Increase the pressure limit to enable a greater tidal volume delivery. B. Add PEEP to reduce the likelihood of dynamic hyperinflation. C. Measure the transpulmonary pressure using an esophageal monitor. D. Continue to ventilate this patient at the current settings until the lung compliance increases.
