13. Pediatric Ventilation Flashcards
1
Q
- Pediatric ventilation is very _______ specific
- what does this population often require? why?
- are peds a quick or slow wean? when?
- what percentage of this population requires short term ventilation? how long is this typically?
- what percentage requires long term ventilation? why?
A
- disease
- more sedation and paralysis to avoid pulling of lines and tubes

Q
- Frequency is ______ dependent
- what 5 things should be considered?
- set frequency along with _____ to provide adequate ___ and maintain desired ____
- what 2 lung conditions are at risk of air trapping when frequency is set too high?
A
- age
- patients spontaneous respiratory drive, minute ventilation requirements, how much work you want the pt doing vs the vent, disease process involved, sedation

- asthma and bronchiolitis
6
Q
- want to set PIP to target what? (hint: 2)
- what PIP should be used in patients with healthy lungs? moderate lung disease? severe disease?
- what tidal volume are we targeting for peds?
- what do we want to see when setting Vt? what should we be aware of?
- what other 2 modes allow for setting tidal volume?
A
- desired Vt and effective chest rise
- 15-22 cmH2O, 20-30 cmH2O, 30-40 cmH20
- 5-8 ml/kg
- effective chest rise, be aware of pressure generated to achieve Vt
- VG or PRVC
7
Q
- Vt for adult ventilation is based on what?
- Vt for neonatal/peds ventilation is based on what? what else needs to be considered? what does this include?
- what should ALWAYS be assessed?
A
- PBW or IBW
- actual body weight, lung size including … obesity, failure to thrive and spinal malformations
- assessing for CHEST RISE
8
Q
- what is the total PEEP range allowed in peds?
- what is setting PEEP based on? (hint: 3)
- with high FiO2 requirements (> 40%), may not have adequately recruited the lung, what should we do with PEEP?
- what can inadequate recruitment lead to? therefore, needing what?
A
- 5-20 cmH2O
- disease process, expansion on CXR, FiO2 requirements
- increase PEEP
- poor compliance therefore, needing higher pressures
9
Q
- setting Ti is based on what? (hint: 2)
- what 2 things should be used if available? what else can we look at to assess Ti?
- suggested Ti for < 1 year? 1-3 years? 3-6 years, 6-12 years, 12-18 years
A
- disease pathology and time constants
- flow termination and Ti max in PSV, waveforms
- 0.35-0.5, 0.5-0.7, 0.65-0.8, 0.8-1.0, 0.8-1.2
10
Q
- how can oxygenation be improved? (hint: 3)
2. what can PEEP help to increase?
A
- FiO2, MAP and LRM
2. MAP
11
Q
- a study on LRM’s in pediatric patients explained the positives to using an LRM, what are they? (hint: 2)

A
- Ve = RR x Vt
2. Vt, PIP, RR, Ti, spontaneous drive, mode
13
Q
- what is the mode of choice in pediatric patients?
- this mode allows for a preset what?
- in PCV, what is set? what fluctuates with patients condition?
- what else is set in PCV? what is variable and what is this based on?
A
- volume control
- Vt and flow
- pressure, volume
- Ti, flow is variable based on patients inspiratory demand
14
Q
- Servo i/u in VTV adjusts what? based on what? can this vent function with a ETT leak? why or why not?
- drager VN (500) in VTV adjusts what? based on what? can this vent function with a ETT leak? why or why not?
- how does volume targeted ventilation work?
A
- adjusts PIP, based on inspiratory Vt, NOT function with a large ETT leak because inspiratory Vt will be higher than expiratory therefore vent will give a Vt in the middle of these two values not the Vt set.
- adjusts PIP, based on calculated Vt, can function up to a 50% leak because vent adjusts pressure based on the calculation of Vt.
- set Vt, pressure will increase or decrease in order to achieve set Vt based off the previous breath
15

A
- minimal value to allow for easy spontaneous breathing without allowing for auto-cycling
- time, flow or pressure
- usually flow, back up of pressure triggering
- set flow or pressure triggering
- ONLY flow triggering
