Question
Answer
Key Term: Abnormal collapse of distal lung parenchyma.   show
🗑
Key Term: Ventilatory support where the patient breathes spontaneously without mechanical assistance against threshold resistance, with pressure above atmospheric maintained at the airway throughout breathing.   show
🗑
show Intermittent Positive-Pressure Breathing (IPPB)  
🗑
Key Term: The process of encouraging the bedridden patient to take deep breaths to avoid atelectasis.   show
🗑
show Lobar Atelectasis  
🗑
Key Term: Collapse of distal lung units due to persistent ventilation with small tidal volumes.   show
🗑
Key Term: Airway clearance technique in which the patient exhales against a fixed orifice flow resistor in order to help move secretions into the larger airways for expectoration via coughing or swallowing.   show
🗑
show Resorption Atelectasis  
🗑
show Thoracic/upper abdominal post-op patients. History of lung disease/heavy cigarette smoking.  
🗑
show 1. rapid shallow breathing 2. fine, late-inspiratory crackles 3. abnormalities on CXR  
🗑
show increasing the transpulmonary pressure gradient.  
🗑
The most common problem associated with lung expansion therapy:   show
🗑
show implement, monitor, and document results of the therapy  
🗑
Rule of Thumb: What factor in abdominal surgery makes post-op atelectasis more likely?   show
🗑
Rule of Thumb: Typically, as the atelectasis progresses, the __ __ increases proportionally.   show
🗑
show 1. pulmonary atelectasis 2. conditions predisposing to atelectasis (surgery of upper abdominal, thoracic, or in patients with COPD) 3. restrictive lung defect associated with quadriplegia and/or dysfunctional diaphragm  
🗑
3 main contraindications for IS:   show
🗑
5 main hazards/complications for IS:   show
🗑
show sustained maximal inspiration; slow, deep inhalation from FRC to TLC, followed by a 5-10 second breath hold.  
🗑
show volume oriented, flow oriented  
🗑
The purpose of the "resting period" after an IS maneuver:   show
🗑
show 1. need for improvement of lung expansion 2. need for noninvasive ventilatory support in hypercapneic patients 3. need to deliver aerosol medication  
🗑
show The positive pressure is likely to cause overinflation of the lung regions not affected by secretions and minimal/no expansion of the affected lung segments.  
🗑
show bronchial hygiene therapy and humidity therapy  
🗑
The 1 absolute contraindication of IPPB:   show
🗑
show respiratory alkalosis (accompanied by arrhythmias in severe alkalosis)  
🗑
show Gas may pass directly into the esophagus when the pressure at which the esophagus opens exceeds 20 cm H2O.  
🗑
show 1. improved VC, CXR, breath sounds, improved cough and secretion clearance, & oxygenation 2. increased FEV1 or peak flow 3. favorable patient subjective response  
🗑
What 3 general assessments must be made before IPPB therapy?   show
🗑
show aseptically occlude the patient connector and manually trigger a breath at low-flow setting (machine should cycle off)  
🗑
When explaining the purpose of IPPB therapy, what 4 points must be addressed?   show
🗑
show semi-Fowler's (unless contraindicated; supine acceptable)  
🗑
When applying IPPB, what is the general breathing pattern goal?   show
🗑
show the volumes delivered exceed those volumes achieved through the patients spontaneous breathing  
🗑
show q 72 hrs or with any change in patient status  
🗑
show  
🗑
