Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Common complications associated with IPPV include a patient that becomes too deep, respiratory alkalosis from hyperventilation, barotrauma due to excessive pressure in the thorax, and impaired cardiovascular function due to increased thoracic pressure that impedes venous return to the heart. Astute monitoring of rate and volume of IPPV can diminish the risks of most of these complications.
