Question
Answer
What are the advantages of negative pressure ventilator?   We breathe negative pressure  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of negative pressure ventilator?   Limited effectiveness in volume produced, low cardiac output in hypovolemic patients, can facilitate upper airway obstruction  
🗑
Define Transpulmonary Pressure (PL)   pressure difference between alveolus and pleural space. Prevents atelectasis.  
🗑
A patient with this disease has his Transpulmonary pressure.   Congestive Heart Failure  
🗑
Define Transairway Pressure (PTA)   pressure between mouth and the alveolus  
🗑
A patient with this diseaswe has high transairway pressure   Asthma  
🗑
Define Peak Pressure   highest pressure recorded or seen on manometer at end of inspiration.  
🗑
Define plateau pressure   pressure at end of inspiration following a 0.5 to 1.0 second hold.  
🗑
Define static compliance   determines stiffnes of the lung at full inspired ventilator breath  
🗑
What is the normal lung compliance for an intubated male?   40-50 ml/cmH2O  
🗑
What is the normal lung compliance for an intubated female?   35-45 ml/cmH2O  
🗑
What is the normal lung compliance for a non-intubated person   50-170 ml/cmH2O  
🗑
Define time constant   The rate at which lungs are filled  
🗑
Define Dynamic Compliance   determines overall stiffness of lungs to ventilation  
🗑
Define Airway resistance   frictional forces associated with ventilation due to lung tissue viscosity, the anatomical structure of the conducting airways and adjacent tissues and organs.  
🗑
Normal RAW for non-intubated person   .6-2.4L/sec  
🗑
Normal RAW for intubated patient   6 cmH2O/L/sec  
🗑
Calculation for static compliance   Vt/Plt-PEEP  
🗑
Calculation for dynamic compliance   Vt/PIP-PEEP  
🗑
Calculation for Airway Resistance   [(PIP-PLT)/Insp flow]*60  
🗑
Control Panel AKA   User interface  
🗑
Control Circuit   Brain. Logical decision making unit of the vent. aka microprocessor  
🗑
Control Variable   Variables remain constant with any change in lung mechanics  
🗑
Conditional Variable   Variable changes with changes in lung mechanics  
🗑
Phase Variable   3 phases of breath: Trigger, Limit, & Cycle  
🗑
What is trigger variable   Beginning of inspiration, can be patient or machine. machine>time. patient>pressure or flow  
🗑
What is limit variable   Max value  
🗑
What is cycle variable   End of Inspiration  
🗑
Examples of electrically powered ventilator   Bear I & Mac I  
🗑
Examples of pneumatically Powered ventilator   Bird Mark 14 & Monoghan  
🗑
Examples of combined electrically/pneumatically ventilator   Evita Dragger, Servo, Servo 300, 840, Sechrist, star, Bear 1000, viasys  
🗑
