10
Q

How is pressure maintained?

A

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

19
Q

What are the total flow consisted in in BIPAP?

A

total flow = estimated flow (going into the patient) + (unintentional + fixed) leak

20
Q

what is the fxn of Exhalation Port Test

A

Measures intentional leak from exhalation port

21
Q

What is the display if Exhalation Port Test isnt done

A

tot leak

22
Q

What is the display if Exhalation Port Test is done

A

Pt leak

23
Q

when to perform exhalation port test? and why

A

when mask is changed

because it measures the fixed leak of the new mask to calculate baseline leak

24
Q

What is the function of Auto-Trak Sensitivity

A

recognize and compensate for unintentional leaks

25
Q

How does the Auto-Trak Sensitivity work

A

adjust its trigger and cycle based on Tidal Volume or Expiratory Flow rate

26
Q

How does the Auto-Trak Sensitivity use expiratory flowrate ?

A

1) it measures the baseline flow 5 sec after the start of cycling
2) if the flow is above the baseline flow ( which is 0), it assumes unintentional leak
3) it d then adjust the flow by comparing the current leak and previous leak flow

27
Q

Why does the VT relate to the leak

A

1) Unit assumes volume into the pt. = volume out of pt.
2) If the volume out is greater, assumes the extra volume is unintentional insp leak volume.
3) Volume will be adjusted based on the calculation

If more volume results in increase baseline leak –> the new volume given will be less

28
Q

What is the trigger of BIPAP

A

Volume
- 6cc inspired volume accumulates above baseline flow, trigger by patient

Shadow/shape signal
- when the shadow waveform meet the actual waveform

29
Q

how does the Shape Signal

work?

A

follows” the flow pattern, at 15 lpm less flow, 400msec “behind” the pt. flow

  • helps with triggering and cycling
30
Q

What cycles BIPAP

A
  1. Shape Signal (same as triggering)
  2. Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (SET)
  3. Flow reversal
  4. Time back up
31
Q

how does the SET work

A

Electronic signal that rises in proportion to the inspiratory flow rate on each breath

  • signal will rise until it intersects with the inspiration, then cycle
32
Q

how does flow Reversal work

A
  1. Cycles out of IPAP if large leak occurs

2. while the flow is decelerating, it then accelerates in response to a large leak

33
Q

What is the I time backup for cycling

A

3 sec

34
Q

What are the mode of BIPAP

A

• CPAP (spontaneous)
• PSV (IPAP/EPAP)
• Spontaneous/timed (S/T)
- PAV/T

35
Q

What is the setting for CPAP mode

A

CPAP,
FiO2
RATe

36
Q

What is the setting for S/T mode

A
IPAP, EPAP,
Rate
I time
rise time
FiO2
37
Q

When does S/T switch to time mode

A

when spont RR drops below set rate, vision deliver PC breath (set IPAP and I TIME)

38
Q

how to tell if the time mode is activated

A

‘V’ appears on VT waveform

39
Q

how does the PAV/T work

A

Delivers pressure in proportion to effort

40
Q

settings of PAV/T

A
  • % set,
  • Maximum Volume Assist,
  • Maximum Flow Assist

If patient fails to trigger the breath –> becomes a time breath
- Back up rate and other parameters (IPAP, EPAP, I time, rise time)

41
Q

When does the exh port alarm go off

A

baseline flow is < 5 L/min or 50% of intentional leak for one minute

42
Q

when does the Hi P go off

A

Proximal pressure > setting for > 0.5 second

43
Q

when does the low pr go off?

A

Proximal pressure below criteria for duration of Low pressure delay

44
Q

What is low pressure delay

A

the maximum amount of time allowed for proximal pressure to be lower than the set Low P

45
Q

when is learn base flow activated?

A
  • After changing circuit

- After adding flow to the circuit

46
Q

what are the precaution when using BIPAP

A

1 . Pt. must be able to support their ventilation and protect their airway

  1. DO NOT use a HME–interferes with flow sensing capabilities
