2
Q
- what 3 devices can be used to provide NCPAP?
- what 3 devices can be used to provide NIPPV?
- what other two types of ventilation can be used to provide NIV?
A
- bubble CPAP, ventilator CPAP, infant flow SiPAP (CPAP)
- ventilator NIPPV, infant flow (BiPhasic), NIV NAVA
- NHFOV and HFNC
3
Q
- what are the 7 benefits of CPAP?
2. what does increasing FRC help to do? (hint: 6)
A
- improves oxygenation, decreases WOB, increases FRC, breathing pattern becomes regular, decreases central and obstructive apneas, keeps airways open and reduces inspiratory resistance by dilating the airways
- recruitment of collapsed alveoli, increased alveolar surface area, decreased intrapulmonary shunting, increased lung compliance, conserves surfactant, and decreases alveolar edema
4
Q
what are the benefits of NIPPV? (hint: 6)
A
- all benefits of CPAP
- improved lung recruitment and increase to PIP
- higher MAP
- increased Vt and Ve
- increase/augmentation of respiratory cycle
- decreased WOB
5
Q
- what are the indications for nasal CPAP? (hint: 8)
- premature infants should be considered for CPAP/NIV as long as they are able to demonstrate adequate ventilation, this is defined by what? (hint: 2)
A
- spontaneously breathing babies with respiratory distress, increased WOB (grunting, nasal flaring, increased O2, tachypnea), poorly expanded or infiltrated lung fields on x-ray, pulmonary edema, apnea of prematurity, tracheomalacia or airway abnormalities, preventing intubating and post extubation
- PaCO2 < 55 mmHg and pH > 7.25
6
Q
what are the common complications of NCPAP/NIPPV? (hint: 5)
A
- pneumothorax
- agitation
- continued deterioration
- nasal trauma, tissue breakdown
- gastric inflation
7
Q
what are the common contraindications to NCPAP/NIPPV? (hint: 5)
A
- severe ventilatory failure (may need to be intubated)
- tracheo-oesophageal fistula
- diaphragmatic hernia
- severe cardiovascular instability
- cleft palate
8
Q
what are the 4 different methods/machines to provide NCPAP/NIPPV?
A
- ventilator CPAP
- bubble CPAP
- infant flow CPAP/BiPhasic
- non invasive positive pressure ventilation
9
Q
- what determines the CPAP level with the bubble CPAP device?
- how many limbs in the circuit?
A
- determined by the depth of the straw in the water
2. inspiratory and expiratory (2)
10
Q
- what does the bubble CPAP pressure manifold do specifically?
- what does this manifold allow?
- what is the adjustable CPAP level for the bubble CPAP generator?
- what does this generator do specifically?
- what does this generator include? where is the mounting bracket located?
A
- limits the pressure delivered in the event of an occlusion
- allows connection to a pressure monitoring device and/or an air/oxygen analyzer
- 3-10 cmH2O
- detachable overflow container allows uninterrupted CPAP when overflow container is being emptied
- includes a separate fill funnel, bracket located on the back of the bubble CPAP generator
11
Q
- what is the ideal flow setting for the bubble CPAP? what is the full range?
- how do you set the CPAP level?
- what do you want to ensure that you see? what does this mean if you see this? what does it mean if you do not see this?
A
- ideal = 6-8 lpm, full range = 6-15 lpm
- by placing the appropriate depth of the straw in the water
- want to see bubbling! - Means there is a tight seal with nasal prongs
if not seen = something wrong in the system or there may be a leak in the system
12
Q
- what do you want to check before starting a leak test on the bubble CPAP machine?
- what is the CPAP level and flow set to when performing a leak test?
- what do you want to see for the machine to pass the test? what does it mean if this is not present?
- what do you do if the machine does not past the test?
A
- all connections are tight before use
- CPAP of 10 cmH2O and a flow of 1 L/min
- want to see gentle, audible bubbling, no bubbling means unacceptable leakage
- check entire system, remove port cap from pressure manifold before connecting any monitoring device
13
Q
- what 3 modes does the infant flow machine provide?
2. why is this machine being phased out? (hint: 2)
A
- SiPAP, BiPhasic and CPAP
- moving to wanting a ventilator that does it all and limited to no more than 10 cmH2O that can be given therefore, used on larger/stable patient’s
14
Q
- what does fluidic flip action help to minimize and during what phase of the respiratory cycle?
- what is the expiratory tube connected to? what does it function as? what does this allow for? (hint: 2)
- how does the expiratory tube function on inspiration?
- how does the expiratory tube function on expiration?
A
- WOB during expiratory phase using the Coanda effect and fluidic flip
- not connected to anything!! - functions as a reservoir allowing patient to get more flow and O2 if they need it and maintains the pressure in the circuit
- as flow goes in, pulls in gas from reservoir as well so patient is getting enough flow
- gas flow flips and provides resistance when exhaling to maintain the pressure
15
Q
- what does SiPAP stand for? how does this mode generally work in the infant flow machine? why is this mode not widely used?
- what does Biphasic mean? how does this mode generally work? what is this mode independent of?
A
- Synchronized Intermittent Positive Airway Pressure, Synchronized rises above baseline CPAP with use of abdomen breathing sensor to “synchronize.” Not commonly used because abdomen sensor not very accurate
- Bilevel Nasal CPAP - timed bilevel pressure rise above baseline CPAP, independent of patient respiratory cycle
16
Q
- what can small incremental increases of 2-4 cmH2O help to do with Bilevel nasal CPAP?
- what is the pressure limited to?
- what does Bilevel help to do for unstable alveoli?
- is Bilevel synchronized to patient effort?
A
- helps to augment FRC and can offload respiratory WOB (small puffs, recruit alveoli)
- 10 cmH2O
- recruitment and stabilization of unstable alveoli
- NO
