Q

What is the effect of CPAP?

A

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

Q

Effects of IPPB?

A

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

Q

Effects PEP?

A

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

Q

Suggested application to CPAP?

A

5cmH2O- 7.5-10-12.5cmH2O

Alternate increasing PEEP/ FiO2

Remove for airway clearance (risk v benefit)

Time with another treatment e.g. IPPB

Q

Suggested application of PEP?

A

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

Q

The effect of oscillating PEP?

A

Offer the combination of PEP with high frequency oscillations within the airways during expiration to facilitate secretions clearance

The expiration resistance is intermittent which induces vibrations within the airway wall to displace secretions

17
Q

The effect of RMT?

A

Respiratory muscle training
Weakness of the respiratory muscles= reduction is muscle contractility causing an inability to generate normal levels of pressure and air flow during breathing

Targeting the inspiratory muscles lead to decreased dyspnoea

Improve strength and endurance of diaphragm- tolerant greater inspiratory loads

18
Q

The effect of IS?

A

Incentive spirometry

Activated by patient’s inspiratory effort

A slow, deep inspiration performed with lips sealed around the mouthpiece

Visual feedback- a ball rising to a pre-set marker

Tri-flow

19
Q

The effect of CA?

A

Cough assist

Uses positive pressure to deliver a maximal lung inhalation followed by a switch to negative pressure to the upper airways

Simulating airflow changes during a cough- assisting sputum clearance

20
Q

Devices of oscillating PEP available?

A
  • flutter
  • acapella
  • RC- cornet
  • Shaker
21
Q

Categories of RMT?

A

Strength

External load device
3 Main categories

  • passive flow-resistance
