25
Q

situation to DECR trigger sensitivity (INCR flow)

A

with cardiogenic oscillations during low respiratory rates

26
Q

inspiratory term percentage

A

how long the vent will support each breath

27
Q

25% inspiratory term

A

pressure supported breath will be terminated once the inspiratory flow rate decreases to 2.5L/min

28
Q

75% inspiratory term

A

pressure supported breath will be terminated once the inspiratory flow decreases to 7.5L/min

29
Q

incr inspiratory term %

A

decr duration of assistance

30
Q

decr inspiratory term %

A

incr duration of assistance

31
Q

decr inspiratory term % allows for

A

a larger tidal volume without increasing positive pressure delivered

32
Q

pt that may benefit from decr inspiratory term %

A

obese pt on LMA

33
Q

mandatory minute ventilation (MMV)

A

minimum minute ventilation
- mechanical breaths delivered if pt is not meeting minimum MV
- spontaneous breaths are assited

34
Q

during BiPAP, is the positive pressure higher during inspiration or expiration?

A

positive pressure is higher during inspiration in order to open the alveoli

35
Q

BiPAP indicaation

A

atelectasis
OSA

36
Q

BiPAP advantages over CPAP (2)

A

easier exhalation
reduces air trapping

37
Q

difference between BiPAP and airway pressure release ventilation

A

airway pressure release ventilation intermittently stops to allow for complete exhalation

38
Q

what 2 vent modes provide constant CPAP?

A

BiPAP
airway pressure release vent

39
Q

inverse ratio ventilation (IRV)

A

vent reverses the inspiratory and expiratory times
(I>E)

40
Q

IRV advantage

A

longer inspiratory time
incr FRC

41
Q

IRV disadvantage

A

incomplete exhalation
- auto-PEEP
does not allow spontaneous breathing

42
Q

High-Frequency Positive Pressure Ventilation (HFPPV)

A

small tidal volumes
60-120 breaths/min

43
Q

High-Frequency Jet ventilation

A

small airway cannula
120-600 breaths/min

44
Q

High-Frequency Oscillation

A

600-3000 breaths/min

45
Q

autoflow ventilation is an adjunct to _______

A

volume controlled ventilation modes

46
Q

autoflow advantages

A

-delivers set tidal volume at lowest possible PiP
-decr peak airway pressures
-pt can breath spontaneous at any time

47
Q

autoflow uses ______ flow to decrease peak airway pressures

A

48
Q

the vent is more or less likely to breath against the pts expiration during autoflow?

A

less likely
