Adjuncts Flashcards
What’s is the effect of NIV?
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation
Used to correct respiratory failure I and II
What is the effect of CPAP?
Continuous positive airway pressure
Type of NIV
Used with oxygen to correct hypoxaemja (type I respiratory failure)
- assistance on expiration only
- spontaneously breathing patients
- pressure rather than volume controlled
EPAP/PEEP splints open floppy airways
Recruits collateral channels of ventilation
Increases FRC
Improves gas exchange
Effects of IPPB?
Positive pressure delivered during inspiration
Used in type 1 respiratory failure
- intermittent
- assistance on inspiration only
- can use facemask or mouthpiece
AIM- Recruits lung volume Decrease WOB Raises tidal volume Opens up collapsed alveoli via collateral ventilation Reaches higher pressures than CPAP
Effects PEP?
Positive expiratory pressure
Patient breathes out against a flow to produce positive airway pressure
Promotes airflow past obstruction/recruits collateral ventilation channels
The positive pressure encourages airway splinting to prevent premature airway collapse during expiration
Indications of NIV?
- obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)
- acute respiratory failure (acute on chronic)
- Nocturnal hypoventilation
- Kyphoscoliosis
- Hypoventilation
Indications of CPAP?
- OSA
- Acute type I respiratory failure
- weaning
Indications for IPPB?
- used in spontaneously breathing patients
- Type 1 respiratory failure
- In patients that are weak, drowsy, or exhausted and have may;
- reduced lung volumes
- increased WOB
- Atelectasis
- Sputum retention
- Neuromuscular disorders who require assisted inhalation
Indications for PEP?
- retained secretions
- Atelectasis
- AECOPD
- Non-CF bronchiectasis
Contraindications to NIV?
- undrained pneumothorax
- severe hypotension
- recent upper GI/thoracic surgery
- cardiac arrhythmias
- Bullous disease
- Epistaxis (haemorrhage from nasal cavity)
- Nasal surgery
- Risk of aspiration-NG tube
Contraindications to CPAP?
- undrained pneumothorax
- Haemoptysis of unknown origin
- Proximal bronchial tumours
- severe hypotension
- Emphysematous bullae
- Lung abscess
- Active TB
Contraindications to IPPB?
- Undrained pneumothorax
- Haemoptysis of unknown cause
- Large bullae
- Large airway carcinoma
- Active/untreated TB
- subcutaneous emphysema
- facial trauma (inc surgery, fractures)
Precautions
- uncontrolled pain
- nausea
- increased intracranial pressure
- unstable cardiovascular status
Contraindications to PEP?
- undrained pneumothorax
- post lung lobectomy/ transplantation
- severe cardiovascular disease
- undrained empyema/ lung abscess
- active haemoptysis
- inability to tolerant due to increased WOB
- facial fractures/surgery
- middle ear infection- increased pressure
Suggested application to CPAP?
5cmH2O- 7.5-10-12.5cmH2O
Alternate increasing PEEP/ FiO2
Remove for airway clearance (risk v benefit)
Time with another treatment e.g. IPPB
Suggest application of IPPB?
15-20 minutes
Initial pressure of 10-15cmH2O
I:E ratio. 1:3 to 1:4
Suggested application of PEP?
Individual required to perform controlled expiration against the resistance, aiming at maintaining expiratory pressure at the mouth of 15cmH2O
Checked by inserted a manometer into the circuit
Repeated for 6-12 breaths
Follow FET
