BIPAP pp

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is BiPAP   non invasive device that augments pt ventilation  
🗑
What are the 2 levels of pressure   IPAP and EPAP  
🗑
On BiPAP which one is larger   larger on insp ex 12/5  
🗑
BiPAP is always   spontaneous  
🗑
IPAP   increase the increments of 2 cmH20. used if there is a CO2 problem (ventilation)  
🗑
EPAP   increase in increments of 2 cmH20. Oxygenation problem, similiar to PEEP  
🗑
Spontaneous   pt triggers ALL inspirations which are pressure supported. You set IPAP and EPAP only. Pt determines RR, volume  
🗑
S/T   Pt determines volume, if pt does not breath, cycles to IPAP when time has elapsed.`  
🗑
T   cycles btwn IPAP and EPAP due to time intervals only. PT may take additional OWN breaths. You set IPAP, EPAP, BPM and % IPAP (like control mode)  
🗑
CPAP mode   pressure is set on continous, pt breaths on it's own, pt is control of RR and volume, set EPAP only  
🗑
indications for BiPAP   resp failure, post surgical, hypoxemia due to hypoventilation, sleep apnea, vent muscle fatigue, upper airway obstruction, post extubation difficulties  
🗑
contraindications for BiPAP   pre existing pneumothorax, hypotension, pre existing bullous lung disease (emphysema), nose bleeding, aspiration, sinusitus  
🗑
side effects of BiPAp   pressure ulcers, claustophobic, eye irratiation  
🗑
What do you adjust IPAP for   ventilation problems  
🗑
What do you adjust EPAP for   oxygenation problems  
🗑
Benefits of BiPAP   can talk, non invasive, infection risk decreased, works in presence of leaks,  
🗑
GOALS of BiPAP   avoid intubation, pt mobility improvement, decrease VAP, improve gas exchange  
🗑
IPAP initial setting   8-12 cmH20  
🗑
EPAP initial setting   3-5 cmH20  
🗑
Initial setting for oxygen   match pt's or titrate to obtain acceptable PaO2  
🗑
initial settings for BPM   2-5 less than pt's spontaneous rate  
🗑
intitial settings for % IPAP   usually 33-50% to deliver 1:2 or 1:1  
🗑
If there is an increase in CO2 what do you do   adjust IPAP to create greater pressure differences between IPAP and EPAP (this increases alveolar ventilation)  
🗑
What to do if you have hypoxemia   increase level of EPAP  
🗑
IF unit stops and starts   check power cord, check connection  
🗑
if there is no air flow from unit   check voltage selector switch, possible internal problem  
🗑
unit runs but light not activated   replace light  
🗑
How many sets on BiPAP   2, CPAP and S/T  
🗑
What do you want to set RR on   4-40 bpm  
🗑
What do you want to set IPAP on   4-40 cmH20  
🗑
What do you want to set EPAP on   4-20 cmH20  
🗑
What does the exhalation port do   directs air. Exhale goes through port so pt doesn't rebreath their CO2  
🗑
What does the exhalation port test do   anaylyzes leak rate of exhalation port.  
🗑
Pt flow triggered breaths are   flow cycled  
🗑
Time triggered breaths are   time cycled according to the set insp time  
🗑
How should the mask fit   from the bridge of the nose to just below the nares... make sure the mask rests above the upper lip  
🗑
What is the whisper swivel   designed to exhaust CO2 from pt's circuit  
🗑
Pt's tidal volume should be   20% greater than what they are doing  
🗑
Pt with chronic hypercapnia IPAP should   be adjusted to maintain an acceptable pH NOT normalize the PaCO2  
🗑
