Question
Answer
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure that occurs after a direct or indirect pulmonary insult that cannot be attributed to heart failure   ARDS  
🗑
ARDS chest x-ray is characterized by   bilateral widespread pulmonary infiltrates  
🗑
ARDS is characterized by PaO2/FIO2 <= ____   200  
🗑
Aspiration, Lung contusion and trauma, Inhalational injury, Pneumonia, Near -drowning   primary causes of ARDS  
🗑
Sepsis, Pancreatitis, Hypotension (shock)   secondary causes of ARDS  
🗑
associated with a poorer outcome   secondary causes of ARDS  
🗑
upon auscultation of lungs in ARDS you will hear   crackles  
🗑
Indications for Mechanical Ventilation typically involves a PaO2 <__mmHg, SaO2 <90% with a elevated PCO2   60  
🗑
Treatment of ARDS induced hypoxemia usually requires   positive pressure ventilation  
🗑
ARDS: Mechanical Ventilation Lung Protective Strategies use   small tidal volumes  
🗑
ARDS: Mechanical Ventilation Lung Protective Strategies consider _____ to minimize elevated lung pressures   High Frequency Ventilation  
🗑
Normal mechanical ventilator tidal volume (___ ml/kg IBW)   10-15  
🗑
Large tidal volumes cause _____ in stiff lungs   high inflation pressures  
🗑
mechanical ventilator tidal volume in ARDS patient (___ ml/kg IBW)   6  
🗑
Positive End Expiratory Pressure   PEEP  
🗑
Used to keep alveoli open during the exhalation phase of respiration   PEEP  
🗑
Maintains the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC). The FRC prevents atelectasis   PEEP  
🗑
Too much PEEP can lead to   decreased cardiac output and high airway pressure  
🗑
ARDS has a ___% mortality rate   30-40  
🗑
ARDS has a 90% mortality rate in those with   sepsis  
🗑
Respiratory dysfunction resulting in abnormal oxygenation and ventilation severe enough to threaten the function of vital organs   respiratory failure  
🗑
Arterial blood gas values consistent with RF: PaO2 value < 60 mmHg, PaCO2 value > __ mmHg, SaO2 value < 90%   50  
🗑
The tip of the endotracheal tube should rest at the level of the   aortic arch  
🗑
The tip of the endotracheal tube should rest at the level of the   2 cm above the carina  
🗑
Does not allow the patient to breathe between ventilator delivered breaths   Controlled Mechanical Ventilation  
🗑
Ideal mode for patients that are sedated and paralyzed   Controlled Mechanical Ventilation  
🗑
low VT and respiratory rates – allow hypercapnia – minimize high inflation pressures – oxygenation is maintained)   permissive hypercapnia  
🗑
method employed to decrease the incidence of barotrauma   permissive hypercapnia  
🗑
results when the lung can no longer accomplish adequate gas exchange, often fatal if left untreated   acute respiratory failure  
🗑
respiratory compromise is evident whe the PaO2 is < __mm Hg on room air   60  
🗑
respiratory compromise is evident whe the PaCO2 is > __mm Hg   45  
🗑
patients in respiratory failure with evidence of severe distress, mental deterioration, or hemodynamic instability usually require _____   intubation and mechanical ventilation  
🗑
the adequacy of ventilator settings needs to be determined with repeated ____   arterial blood gas levels  
🗑
the current preferred mode of ventilation is   assisted-control ventilation  
🗑
in ____ the clinician sets the tidal volume and the lowest allowed respiratory rate, however each spontaneous breath is supported   assisted-control ventilation  
🗑
considered the more physiologic ventilatory mode and is associated with a decreased work of breathing   assisted-control ventilation  
🗑
the most popular mode of ventilation in the 1980's. often associated with asynchrony of spontaneous breaths and assisted breaths   intermittent mandatory ventilation  
🗑
