Question
Answer
vents can mesure what?   presure, vol., flow or time  
🗑
conditional variable is used for what?   used by vent control circuit to make decisions. Ex: if value of a cond. variable reaches preset level, than some action occurs to change vent pattern.  
🗑
how is acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema managed if hypercarbia is present?   NPPV non invasive positive presure ventilation  
🗑
What is NPPV used for in hypoxemic resp. failure?   it is used if pt with poor outcome from intubation  
🗑
when do intubate a pt with ALI/ARDS?   if no improvement within 1 to 2 hours  
🗑
how do you manage acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema?   CPAP of 8 to 12 cm H2O with 100% O2  
🗑
What are the weaning modes   CPAP, SIMV, IMV, SMV  
🗑
What control do you use with head injury?   volume control  
🗑
peep is used for what?   presure at elvated level at expiration  
🗑
what will peep help with?   increased PaO2, increased FRC, improves o2  
🗑
motion equation   p=(elastance x vol) + resistance x flow)  
🗑
ventilation cycle of breath   initiation of inspiration, inspiration its self, end of inspiration, expiration  
🗑
what are the diffrent ramps?   ascending above base and decending below base  
🗑
trigger variable   causing breath to begin  
🗑
a vent has a preset presure early in inspiration and holds it for spacific time for which inspiration ends. What cycle is it?   time cycle  
🗑
tidal vol is a function of a set ______ and set_________   inspiratory flow and inspiratory time  
🗑
vol. cycle vent, it provides gas under positive presure during inspiration till what point?   tidal vol needed reaches a preset volume  
🗑
Breath initiated by the vent   mandatory breath  
🗑
when would I us vol control ventilation   RENT Retention (CO2), Even distrubution needed, Neuro patient, Trauma to head  
🗑
combination of machanical and spontanious breaths   intermittent mandatory breaths  
🗑
3 variables that vents control   vol flow and pressure (remember that vol and flow they allways go because of the pressure)  
🗑
how to figure minute ventilation   vt x rr  
🗑
which varible maintains preset level before inspiration begins?   cycle varible  
🗑
What is preset rate   rate set to acomplish desired tidal vol  
🗑
2 primary drive mechanismes   Electric and Pneumatic  
🗑
sensitivity   presure drop to initiate patients breath. higher more effort, lower less effort  
🗑
when do we use presure control ventilation   Pt. isn't maintaining oxygnation on own, ARDS, Restrictive diseases, refractory high poximia  
🗑
setting range for presure trigger   .5 to 1.5 cmH2O  
🗑
setting range for flow trigger   1 to 3 L/min  
🗑
vent device does not directly control the delivered vol.   flow control  
🗑
during volume targeted ventilation what determins total cycle time?   rate  
🗑
what variables will help determine expiratory time?   flow volume rate  
🗑
what paramiter serves as baseline of all ventilators?   presure  
🗑
what baseline variable is used on all modern ventilators?   PEEP  
🗑
What are the variables a vent can control?   flow volume presure  
🗑
ventilator used to transport?   punmatic battery fluid logic  
🗑
with neuro muscular disorder which setting do I use?   volume control  
🗑
cause a breath to end?   cycle variable  
🗑
highest peak insparatory presure   ascending wave  
🗑
flow control variable constant? varies?   flow and volume constant, presure varies  
🗑
what control is used for restrictive disease?   presure control (is restrictive so we need presure to get O2 into lungs)  
🗑
