Ventilator Graphics

Question
Answer
3 types of scalar graphics   Pressure-time, Flow-time, Volume-time  
🗑
Time is always on which axis in scalars   x-axis  
🗑
2 types of Loops   Pressure-volume, Flow-volume  
🗑
Changes in Pressure-volume loop indicate what?   changes in restriction(increase or decrease in compliance)  
🗑
Changes in Flow-volume loops indicate what type of disease?   obstructive  
🗑
2 applications for Pressure-time scalar   Determine breath type and use breath type to determine mode  
🗑
In a pressure-time scalar, a dip in pressure during breath indicates what?   insufficient flow  
🗑
Which scalar waveform can identify obstructive disease?   flow-time  
🗑
Which scalar waveform can identify insufficient flow?   pressure-time  
🗑
Which loop waveform can identify obstructive disease?   flow-volume  
🗑
Which loop waveform can identify restrictive disease   pressure-volume  
🗑
In a pressure volume loop, volume doesnt begin until what is reached?   inflection point  
🗑
What is the inflection point?   pressure needed to open alveoli  
🗑
Why does compliance improve at infelction point?   alveolar recruitment  
🗑
How do you determine optimal PEEP?   it is slightly above LIP  
🗑
What is the upper inflection point?   change in pressure without change in volume  
🗑
Why does a "beak" occur in Pressure-volume loop?   overdistention, overinflation of alveoli  
🗑
When a "duckbill" or "beak" occurs on Pressure-volume loop, what do you do?   reduce Vt, pressure until disappears  
🗑
A pressure-volume loop shifted down and right indicates   decreased compliance (increased PIP for volume)  
🗑
A pressure-volume loop shift up and left indicates   increased compliance(decreased PIP for volume)  
🗑
When flow doesnt return to zero baseline on a flow volume loop, what is present?   Air-trapping(Auto-PEEP)  
🗑
In a pressure-time scalar, what does it indicate when PIP increases but Plat stays the same   increased airway resistance(obstruction)  
🗑
How do you resolve increased airway resistance as seen in a pressure-time curve   bronchodilator, Sx, decrease I-time, Larger ETT  
🗑
In a pressure-time scalar, what is indicated when PIP and Plat both increase?   decreased airway compliace (restrictive)  
🗑
How do you resolve decrease in compliance as seen on pressure-time scalar?   decrease Vt, increase RR, permissive hypercapnia, PEEP therapy  
🗑
A prolonged expiratory time seen on a flow-time scalar indicates what?   airway resistance d/t obstruction  
🗑
How to decrease airway resistance as seen on flow time curve?   Tx, Sx, decrease I-time, larger ETT  
🗑
If the pressure-time scalar waveform is scalloped it means flow is set too low, how cant you fix this?   decrease I-time(increase flow), bronchodilator, Sx, decrease pressure sensitivity or chang to flowby  
🗑
A large negative deflection on a pressure-time scalar indicates what   excessive pt effort  
🗑
How is an excessive pt effort shown on a pressure-volume loop?   a deep fishtail on the negative portion of loop  
🗑
Any loops showing volume will show the expiratory volume less than inspiratory volume (broken loop) which is d/t   leak  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
