Neo/Peds Final

Conversion formulas and mech vent

QuestionAnswer
Cylinder Duration Duration =2200 x factor/total flow E=.3 G=2.41 H=3.14
Calculating FiO2 (home) (.21 x airflow) + (O2 flow) / total flow
Liquid Cylinder Duration Reservoir wght x 342 / liter flow
Calculating Flow in L/Min Flow rate (L/Sec) = Vt (tidal vol in ml) / I-time (in sec) Convert ml to L and Convert Sec to Min
Calculating Vt (Tidal vol) Vt = Flow Rate (L/Sec) x I-time (sec) Convert L to ml for tidal vol
Calculating I-time I-time(sec) = Vt (L)/Flow Rate (L/sec) Convert ml to L on Vt
Calculating I-time when rate & I:E are unknown Respiratory cycle time / total parts of I:E = necessary I-time Means same as TCT / TP = I-time Resp cycle time = RR bpm must convert Min to Sec
Calculating Corrected Vt Exhaled Vt - Compressed Vol = Corrected Vt; Where Compressed Vol = (PIP - PEEP) x circuit compliance Must end up in ml
Calculating Compressed Volume Comp Vol = (PIP - PEEP) x circuit compliance
Calculating Mean Airway Pressure MAP = PIP (I-time/TCT) + PEEP (E-time/TCT) Remember to add I-time and E-time to get TCT
Calculating Time Constant (Kt) 1 Kt = Compliance (L/cmH2O) x Resistance Remember 3 Kt is required for 95% of Vt to exit lungs Remember convert ml to L
Calculation E-time to achieve RR E-time = 60/desired rate = TCT then TCT - I-time = E-time
Calculating % Solution % Solution = Solution wgt (g) / Solvent Vol (ml) x 100 Remember to convert mg to g
Calculating BiCarb dosage HCO3 dosage = [Pt wt (kg) x base deficit] x .03 Remember: convert mg to g and g to kg
Calculating Oxygen Index (OI) OI = MAP x FiO2 / PaO2 x 100
Goals of Mech Vent Normalize & maintain ABG's; Prevent iatrogenic complications (ie: Barotrauma, infection, sedation); Support pts resp needs
Neonatal Ventilation Normally Time Cycled / Pressure Limited
Pediatric Ventilation Normally Volume Cycled
Neonatal mech vent settings Need PIP, PEEP, RR, I-time, MAP, Vt; Must have readings of Vt and Ve
Most neonatal vents are _______ ________/_________ ___________ vents Time cycled / pressure limited (limited by PIP you set)
What is initial PIP for? To achieve good chest excursion
What does excessive PEP cause? Hyperinflation & barotrauma; ie: PIE, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumocardium, BPD)
When controlling pressures, ______ directly affects _____ and _____ PIP; Vt and MAP (Paw) Ie: ↑ PIP ↑ Vt ↑ PIP ↑ PaO2 & ↓ PaCO2 by ↑ Ve (PIP also ↑ MAP)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
