Mechanical Ventilation - Units 3-4 SPC

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Conditions associated with increased drive to breath   Increased metabolic rate, metabolic acidosis, anxiety  
🗑
Conditions associated with decreased drive to breath   Sleep Apnea, hypothyriodism, stoke, neck trauma, depressant drugs  
🗑
MEP (Max Expiratory Pressure)   blow as hard as possible into manometer, measures strength of diaphragm, 100 = norm, <40 critical  
🗑
NIF or MIP   measures strength of diaphragm, suck back as hard as possible through manometer, -50 to -100 is norm, <-20 critical  
🗑
Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF)   pH < 7.35, PaO2 < norm for age on O2, PaCO2 >55 and climbing. Inability to keep pH, PO2, PCO2 at acceptable levels  
🗑
Test which most reflects patient's ventilation   CO2  
🗑
Diseases/disorders associated with increased WOB   effusions, hemothorax, pneumothorax, clot, atalectasis, emphysema, ARDS, edema, fibrotic tissue, increased secretions, bronchoconstriction, flail chest, obesity  
🗑
What is A-a gradient, how to calculate it   increased with age, increases with increased FIO2, indicates amount of shunt. 7 X flow - CO2 = PAO2, then sub the PaO2 and the diff is the gradient. 5-15 is norm, >450 = critical  
🗑
Causes and description of abnorm resp patterns   Tumors, stroke or trauma. Cheyne-stokes = VT increase and then decrease and followed by apnea, associated with waxing and waning. Biot's = RR changes but VT same. Can also affect the glottic response, so airway to be protected  
🗑
Phase variable of a breath   Triggering, Limiting and Cycling  
🗑
Triggering   pt attempts a spontaneous breath...cause breath to begin  
🗑
Limiting   places a maximum value on inspiration. P,V, time, or flow  
🗑
Cycling   Cause Inspiration to end  
🗑
Most frequent methods of triggering   Pressure - Neg P usually set to 1- to-2,Flow drop- flow going in, and time- mostly used in NEOS  
🗑
Variables controlled by vent mode   Triggering, Flow, V, NOT FIO2  
🗑
Function of chest curasis and troubleshoot   Look for leaks, Neg pressure vent, used in home on pts w/chest wall deformaties or neuromuscular probs.  
🗑
Mandatory Breath   Vent does all WOB  
🗑
Troubles with transport of vented pts   Accidental extubation, loss of IV, hypoxemia, hypervent by overbagging, loss PEEP, postion changes result in hypercarbia, hypoxemia, hypotension  
🗑
Components of Compliance loop   PEEP, V, P  
🗑
What vents most commonly used in home   CPAP, BiPAP, or the neg pressure ones, PONCHO, chest curasis, pneumosuit  
🗑
Definition of controlled and how vents classified   Can control P,V, flow and sometimes time of Inspiration  
🗑
Volume Controlled Vent   VT is constant and limited. RR is set. P and Time vary. Most common parameter found in adult ventilation. Most consistant ABGs  
🗑
Pressure Controlled Vent   P constant and limited. RR is set. V and flow vary. Used in acute lung injury to protect lungs.  
🗑
Definition of Positive Pressure Ventilation   to start breath, P is greater at the mouth than alveoli. P in alveoli builds. At end of I, P @ mouth = 0 and P in alveoli is greater creating at P gradient and the air flows out. Exhalaton is Passive  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
