Q

O2 (fresh flow gas)

A

higher FiO2 compensates for atelectasis

some pts (lung pathology) need higher FiO2 to have adquate O2 saturation

higher FiO2 allows patient to mx adequate O2 saturation for longer periods during unexpected apnea

  3. propofol (short term)
87
Q

tidal volume

6-8mL/kg

88
Q

higher tidal volume generates

A

higher inspiratory pressure

89
Q

90
Q

respiratory rate

A

how many breaths per minute we tell ventilator to give

8-12 breaths/minrespir

91
Q

respiratory rate determins

A

how long each breath is

92
Q

RR 20

A

each breath is 3 seconds

93
Q

RR12

A

each breath is 5 seconds

94
Q

slower respiratory rate

A

longer each breath
longer inspiratory time
lower pressure

95
Q

faster respiratory rate

A

shorter each breath
shorter inspiratory time
higher pressure

96
Q

peak inspiratory pressure (PIP)

A

max pressure allowed to be generated in chest with ventilator breath

stay under 35-40cmH2O

97
Q

causes of high PIP (8)

A
  1. Right mainstem intubation
  2. bronchoconstriction/
    bronchospasm
  3. coughing/bucking on ventilator
  4. trendelenburg posn
  5. insufflation of abdomen
  6. increased resistance through ETT
  7. too high tidal volume
  8. too fast respiratory rate
98
Q

ETT diameter

A

smaller: high resistance
larger: lower resistance

99
Q

Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)

A

leave a small amount of PP in the lungs at the end of expiration

prevents atelectasis

normal: 5cmH2O

only on ventilator

100

(CPAP)

A

leaves small amount of positive pressure in circuit at all times

constant PEEP

only in manual mode

101
Q

Common uses for CPAP

A
  1. recovery room for sleep apnea
  2. nighttime CPAP mask
  3. preoxygenation for obsese pts

102
Q

I:E Ratio

A

amount of time that is allotted for each inspiration and expiration in one breath

103
Q

A

1:2

expiratory time is 2x as long as inspiratory time

104
Q

inspiratory time and expiratory time are

A

inversely proportional

105
Q

prolong inspiration

A

shorten expiration

106
Q

prolong expiration

A

shorten inspiration

107
Q

slow RR

A

longer inspiratory/expiratory times

108
Q

fast RR

A

shorter inspiratory/expiratory times

109
Q

increasing inspiratory time

A

lowers peak airway pressure

shortens expiratory times (air trapping)

110
Q

AUTO PEEP

A

air trapping
lungs cant exhale fully
due to short exhalation time

over time the lungs can overinflate
PIP increase
difficult ventilation

111
Q

decreasing inspiratory time

A

PIP increase

vent has to push harder/faster to force breath over shorter time

112
Q

inspiratory time

113
Q

normal Ti

A

2 seconds (adults)

0.3-0.5s (neonates)

114
Q

Ti vs PIP

A

inversely proportional

115
Q

volume control ventilation

A

anesthetist sets tidal volume
vent will deliver Vt regardless of the pressure needed to do so

you can set pressure guard to limit amount of PP the vent will deliver

116
Q

Volume control ventilation problems

A
  1. can gen high PIP
  2. accidentaly overinflation of lungs if you forget to change Vt
117
Q

Pressure control ventilation

A

anesthetist sets the amt of PP they want to be generated with each vent breath
lungs expand until that pressure is reached

118
Q

Pressure control ventilation (advantages)

A

lungs should never become overinflated

119
Q

pressure control ventilation problems

A

you have to tinker with the pressure to adjust tidal volume to be appropriate for weight

tidal volumes can change in surgery

120
Q

If pressure is constant, volume and resistance are

A

inversely proportional

increase resistance, less volume can go to lungs

decrease resistance, more volume go to lungs
