48
Q

What do you do if the Soda Lime turns purple and you don’t have time to change it? EX:

A

Increase the inspiratory flow 3 TIMES the minute ventilation If minute ventilation is 3L/min increase to 9L/min

49
Q

What is the purpose of increase the respiratory flow

A

Gas flow out to the scavenging system ; you lose gas bu the patient is SAFE

50
Q

2 types of ventilators

A

Ascending Descending Safer is ascending because descending is affected my gravity and may not be reliable

51
Q

Advantages and disadvantages of Piston ventilators? How is it powered? advantages: is there PEEP, comment on TV, and compliance loss Disadvantages: can generated _________

A

Piston Ventilators (electric powered) adv: quiet, no peep, greater precision with TV, less compliance losses disadv: less familiarity with standing bellows, quiet operation, cannot use Mapleson circuits; can generate Negative End Expiratory Pressure (NEEP).

60
Q

Normal Tidal volume is

A

61
Q

Tidal Volume is dependent ?q

A
  1. Set tidal volume 2. Flow rate of all gases -Increased flow rates lead to increase TV 3. The set I:E time  The longer the inspiratory time the more TV is delivered. Watch for overdistension. 4. Inspiratory flow speed  Increasing the flow speed increases the plateau phase leading to increased TV
