| Radiant heat loss | loss of heat from neonate to cooler objects surrounding it, but not in direct contact of |
| Conduction | transfer of heat from skin to cooler surface in contact with neonate |
| Convection | loss of heat from skin to air current passing over neonate |
| Evaporation | release of heat due to water changing from liquid to gas |

| Goals of mechanical ventilation | normalize ABG's, prevent iatrogenic complications, support pts respiratory needs |
| Neonatal Ventilation | Normally time cycled/pressure limited |
| Pediatric Ventilation | Normally Volume cycled |
| Initial PIP | set to achieve good chest excursion |
| Excessive PIP | causes hyperinflation, barotrauma; ie: pneumo's, & BPD) |
| When you increase PIP | ↑ PIP, ↑ PaO2 & ↓ PaCO2, by ↑ Ve, also ↑ MAP; doesn't affect I:E or I-time |
| PEEP | highest for neos 6-8 cm H2O; prevents alveoli collapse and ↑ FRC; Improves Oxygenation & compliance; ↑ PEEP ↓ Vt |
| Frequency (Rate) on mech vent | RR directly affects Ve, PaCO2, MAP (Paw); ↑RR = ↑Ve; ↑RR = ↓PaCO2; ↑RR = ↑ Paw (MAP) |
| Inspiratory Time on mech vent | Itime directly affects MAP (Paw), Plateau press, intrapleural press; ↑Itime=↑MAP; ↑Itime=affect hemo press & venous return |
| MAP or Paw on mech vent | Average press in airways; Most powerful influence on O2, as ↑MAP=↑PaO2; MAP adjusts by changing PEEP, PIP, Itime, RR, Flow; MAP<14cm H2O; ↓etime=↑Paw (MAP) |

| 4 ways to assess Oxygenation and ventilation | ABG, Transcutaneous monitor, Pulse Ox, Capnography |
| ABG Analysis -- when do you get it? | Neo in resp distress, neo clinically changed for no reason, within 15-30 mins of changing vent settings, & per MD orders |
| Where do obtain ABG sample? | UAC, Arterial line, Arterial puncture, capillary puncture; UAC is preferred method |
| UAC Samples | Most preferred; can be compared to R radial ABG to see if PDA; disadvantage=UAC's only in place 3-4 wks |
| R arterial sample Vs. UAC sample | R arterial is pre-ductal; UAC is post-ductal. If R artery is higher than UAC, R to L shunt is present |
| Radial Arterial Line Sample | Catheter in radial artery; reflects pre-ductal flow which ais in minimizing risks of IVH & ROP |
| Arterial Puncture Sample | Difficult to obtain; these are done blindly; not suggested unless no UAC |
| Capillary Puncture sample | Used prim after UAC gone; not reliable for PaO2; Must warm heel to puncture |
| ABG Values PaO2 | Neo = 50-70 ; ped = 85-100 |
| ABG Values PaCO2 | Neo / Ped = 35-45 ; if chronic=<60 ok |
| ABG Values pH | Safe = 7.35-7.45; Acceptable = 7.25-7.50 for acute/chronic |
| ABG Values BE | Neo / Ped = +/- 4 |
| Alveolar Ventilation determined by | Ve - Vd (Min vent - deadspace volume |
| Acidosis may result because of | CO2 retention, Excessive H+ ions, removal of HCO3 |
| Alkalosis may result because of | Removal of CO2, Excessive loss of H+ ions, addition of HCO3 |
| Transcutaneous using Clark | noninvasively monitor O2, must changed frequently, PtcO2 can be lower than PaO2 by 2-3. ↓PtcO2 w/ N PaO2 = circulatory failure; ↓PtcO2 w/↓PaO2 = respiratory failure |
| Transcutaneous using Servinghaus | PtcCO2 levels closely relate to PaCO2 levels, non invasively monitoring CO2 levels |
| Pulse Ox | Neo = around foot or palm; Ped = toe, finger, ear; SpO2 withing 2-3 of SaO2; preemie alarms set 85-95 |
| Capnography | Noninvasive for CO2; determines end tidal PaCO2 (PetCO2); placed on ET tube or catheter in nose; trends are important with this, however inaccurate with severe resp distress |
