ARTP 09 Flashcards
What are the two types of resp failure
Hypoxemic resp failure (type 1)
Hypercapnic resp failure (Type 2)
What is the primary problem of type 1?
inadequate oxygen
What is the primary problem of type 2?
ventilatory failure of the lungs resulting in elevated CO2 levels
Initial FiO2 setting
100%
PEEP initial setting
Typically starts at +5cmH2O
Initial TV settting
6-8mL/kg IBW
Alveolar Ventilation formula
(VT-VD) RR = VA
Normal/limit values for PF ratio
350-450 <200
Normal/limit values for VD/VT
25-40% >60%
Normal/limit values for A-a gradient
25-65 >350
Normal/limit values for minute ventilation
5-6 >10
Which two diseases can handle the unwanted cardio side effects of PPV?
staticus asthmaticus because of increased RAW and ARDS because of decreased lung compliance
How does PPV cause barotrauma/pneumo?
Caused from PIP >50cmH20 or PEEP >20cmH2O
How does PPV cause fluid retention?
PPV will increase the MIP which will effect the heart, releasing ADH. Leading to pulmonary edema
Prevent by restricting fluids
What is the most common Human error ?
Rt main stem intubation
