BIPAP vision Flashcards
Can BIPAP be used invasively?
NO
IS BIPAP a life support?
NO
what interfaces can bipap used with?
1) a single limb, open circuit with intentional leak on patient face mask
2) used for non-life supported invasive ventilation if properly equipped
Does BIPAP have a backup battery for system?
NO
What is the Rechargeable battery for?
the operation of the alarm
What is the pnuematic source of BIPAP
- High pressure Oxygen
- ->it can function without O2
- blower
- ->draws ambient air in
What control the output flows in BIPAP
PVA (pressure valve assembly)regulates system flow and pressure
What is the air flow through the BIPAP pneumatic system?
ambient air–>filter–>blower–>PVA(pressure valve assembly) –> pass through the exhaust –>AFM (airflow sensor) –> patient circuit
What are the controlled pressure valve in BIPAP?
1 controls IPAP
1 acts as exhaust to maintain EPAP
How is pressure maintained?
Based on IPAP and EPAP settings
–> control circuit adjusts the electrical current in the pressure valve coil
–>The electrical current, in combination with a magnetic field, produces a force on the valve disc
–> this force produced must equal the force created by the air pressure to maintain a stable pressure
How does PVA adjust the pressure?
by controlling the amount of flow going to the patient via the exhaust
What is the exhaust function?
fxn similar to a exhalation valve
What is the AFM (air flow module)
detect the pressure and flow from the proximal pressure line, which signals the exhaust and blower to initial its adjustment
how does the blower adjust the fow
by varying its speed
Where is the proximal line enter to the system?
flow of gas entering before the AFM
how to add supplementary flow in BIPAP
- add flow a mask port (up to 15 lpm
2. add flow at machine outlet
What function is needed to be activated after adding supplementary flow
LEARN BASE FLOW
What are the total leaks of the BIPAP
fixed leak + unintentional leak
