Question
Answer
Signs of acute respiratory failure (6)   Dyspnea, Cyanosis, Skin, HR, RR, BP  
🗑
Define Acute respiratory failure (ARF)   Absent of insufficient respiratory activity resulting in inadequate oxygen uptake and CO2 clearance  
🗑
ARF clinically observed as:   PaO2 below the predicted normal range; PaCO2 greater than 50 and rising; pH falling below 7.25  
🗑
Types of ARF (2)   Lung Failure and Ventilatory pump failure  
🗑
What is lung failure   vent/perf mismatch, diffusion defects, R-L shunting, alveolar hypoventilation, inadequate FIO2  
🗑
What is Ventilatory pump failure   Inability of the body to maintain a normal PaCO2.  
🗑
Ventilaroty pump failure causes   CNS disorders, neuromuscular disorders, disorders that increase WOB  
🗑
Early signs of Hypoxia or Hypercapnia   Tachycardia, Dyspnea, Tachypnea, Hypertension  
🗑
Later signs of Hypoxia or Hypercapnia   PaO2< normal range, PaCO2 > 50, pH < 7.25, Confusion, Lethargy, Convulsions, Hallucinations, Coma  
🗑
Indications of ARF & need for MV (ventilation)   pH <7.25; PaCO2 55 and rising; Deadspace to VT ratio > 0.6  
🗑
Indications of ARF & need for MV (Oxygenation)   PaO2 <70 on FIO2 >.60; P(A-a)O2 >450 on O2; Pa02/PAO2 <0.15; PaO2/FIO2 <200  
🗑
Standard criteria for instituting MV   Apnea or absence of breathing, ARF, Impending RF, Refractory Hypoxemia  
🗑
What % of patients do not require slow weaning?   80%  
🗑
What is weaning   gradual reduction of ventilatory support from a patient who is clinically improving  
🗑
What are weaning protocols   A set plan of action to enable the clinician to wean the patient according to established criteria resulting in extubation  
🗑
Modes of weaning from MV   CPAP; SIMV; T-piece trials; PSV; Closed Loop Modes; MMV; ASV; Bi Level  
🗑
Weaning and extubating parameters   VC >10; Ve <15; VT >4-6; F <30; MIP -20 or less; WOB <0.8; Dynamic CL >25; VD/VT <0.6  
🗑
What is the most frequently used study and very reliable predictor of successful extubation   Rapid Shallow Breathing Indes (RSBI)=f/Vt; Normal range 60-105  
🗑
Post extubation complications   Horseness, sore throat, cough, subglottic edema, increased WOB, Airway obstruction, Laryngospasm, Risk of aspiration  
🗑
what are scalers   Graphs measured over time  
🗑
What are the 3 main types   Flow VS. Time; Volume VS. Time; Pressure VS Time  
🗑
How many views for Flow VS Time   5: Rectangular, Sinusoidal, Ascending, Descending, Exponential  
🗑
How many views for Volume VS time   2: Ascending Ramp or sinusoidal  
🗑
How many views for Pressure VS time   2: Rectangular or Exponential  
🗑
What is auto PEEP or intrinsic PEEP   When patient does not fully exhale inspired volume  
🗑
Actions to eliminate auto PEEP   Suction, bronchodilator, increase expiration time, increase PEEP  
🗑
What does pressure volume loop show?   Compliance of the lung, looks like a football, the narrower, the more compliant  
🗑
