|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What is a trigger? | Signals ventilator to begin inspiration; how breath is started
🗑
|
||||
| What is a cycle? | Parameters on the vent that terminate inspiration; how the vent ends the breath
🗑
|
||||
| What are the different triggers that can be set on the vent? | Time, Pressure, Flow
🗑
|
||||
| What is time triggered ventilation? | Inspiration initiated when a preset time interval has been reach; controlled RR, only machine breaths
🗑
|
||||
| What is pressure triggered ventilation? | Inspiration initiated when ventilator senses patient's spontaneous inspiratory efforts; controlled by pressure sensitivity
🗑
|
||||
| What is the normal sensitivity setting? | -1 to -5 cmH2O (-2 is ideal)
🗑
|
||||
| How does increasing the sensitivity number effect the sensitivity of the vent? | Higher the number (-5), less sensitive the setting; harder to initiate a breath, more the patient has to pull back
🗑
|
||||
| How does lowering the sensitivity number effect the sensitivity of the vent? | Lower the number (-1), more sensitive the setting; easier to initiate a breath, less patient has to pull back
🗑
|
||||
| What should be done if the patient is having difficulty triggering a breath on the vent? | Decrease sensitivity # (this makes the vent MORE sensitive)
🗑
|
||||
| What is flow triggered ventilation? | Low amount of continuous air flows through circuit, as patient tries to initiate a breath, amount of flow at patient wye changes triggering inspiration, controlled by flow (sensitivity) - more flow = easier to inspire, ONLY patient breaths
🗑
|
||||
| What are the different ways a ventilator can be cycled? | Volume, Time, Pressure, Flow, HPL, HVL
🗑
|
||||
| What is volume cycled ventilation? | Inspiration ends when preset VT is reached; volume is constant, PIP is variable
🗑
|
||||
| What is the advantage of volume cycled ventilation? | Guaranteed VT
🗑
|
||||
| What is the disadvantage of volume cycled ventilation? | PIP may increase too high (causing barotrauma) - PIP must be monitored closely
🗑
|
||||
| What is time cycled ventilation? | Inspiration ends when preset inspiratory time has been met; volume is variable
🗑
|
||||
| What is the advantage of time cycled ventilation? | Best method to control I:E ratio
🗑
|
||||
| What is the disadvantage of time cycled ventilation? | VT dependent on lung cL and RAW (atelectasis), very important to monitor exhaled VT
🗑
|
||||
| When does the breath end in PCV? | When time has been met, not pressure
🗑
|
||||
| What is pressure cycled ventilation? | Inspiration ends when preset PIP is reached; volume is variable (varies directly with lung cL and indirectly with RAW); flow and pressure are constant
🗑
|
||||
| What is the advantage of pressure cycled ventilation? | PIP (and MAP) is controlled (reduces barotrauma)
🗑
|
||||
| What is the optimal PIP in pressure cycled ventilation? | < 50 cmH2O
🗑
|
||||
| What is the optimal MAP in pressure cycled ventilation? | < 30 cmH2O
🗑
|
||||
| What is the disadvantage of pressure cycled ventilation? | Decreased cL and increased RAW = lower VT (can build up CO2; atelectasis) - need to monitor exhaled VT (MOST important to monitor!)
🗑
