Adjuncts Flashcards
What is Non invasive ventilation?
A technique where positive pressure is applied to airways without a tube to provide ventilatory assistance.
NIV benefits
Improves oxygenation, lung volumes, enhances airway clearance and manages respiratory failure.
NIV devices
Nasal masks, full facemasks, nasal pillows and tracheostomy
NIV indications
Type 2 respiratory failure, nocturnal hypoventilation, acute exacerbations of COPD, weaning
What is CPAP?
Continuous positive airway pressure
It splints open floppy airways and recruits collateral ventilation channels
It is a type of NIV used with oxygen to treat type 1 respiratory failure
CPAP benefits
Improves V/Q
Maintains FRC
CPAP devices
Hood and mask
Nasal
Nasopharyngeal
Face mask
CPAP indications
Type 1 respiratory failure
Weaning
Increased WOB
Reduced lung volumes
What is IPPB
Intermittent positive pressure breathing
Assists with inspiration
Delivers 40% oxygen
Can use with TEE
IPPB benefits
Helps clear sputum, improves oxygenation, increases lung volumes, decreases work of breathing
IPPB indications
Type 1 respiratory failure Lots of secretions unable to clear Need to improve lung expansion Reduced lung volumes Increased WOB Treatment of atelectasis
IPPB application
1-2 H20 sensitivity
10-15cmH20 initial pressure
What is PEP
Positive expiratory pressure
It is breathing out against a resistance
The positive pressure splints airways to stabilize peripheral airways and prevent them from collapsing.
Gets air behind mucus via collateral ventilation channels and forces secretions to larger airways for expectoration
PEP indications
Retained secretions
Atelectasis
Non CF-bronchiectasis
Acute exacerbation of COPD
PEP application
Seated Inspire slightly greater than tidal Exhale for 3 seconds 10-20cmH20 6-12 breaths Followed by FET and coughing 6-12 cycles
