how to change Vt settings
over 8ml/kg can cause barotrauma
*slowly increae and reassess every 15min
Vt setting
4-8ml/kg of ideal body weight
pressure versus volume delivery
volume = preset volume is consistent. once Vt is reached, exhalation begins
pressure = preset inspiratory pressure. once the pressure is reached, exhalation begins
pPLAT
measures the pressure applied during PPV to smal airways/alveoli
*represents the end of inspiratory recoil
when is pPLAT mesured
during an inspiratory pause while on m. ventilation

problem of auto-peep
predisposes to barotrauma/hemodynamic compromise
increases WOB/effort to trigger the vnetilato
diminishes the forces generated by the respiratory muscles
how does SIMV work
if pt fails to take a breath, the ventilator will do it
*spontaneous breathing in-between breaths set to pre-set intervals
ventilator that allows pt to breathe in-between preset breaths
SIMV
ventilator lets pt breathe in-between preset intervals OR ventilator supports every breath but the pt can initiate
breathe in-between = SIMV
support each time but pt can initiate= AC
no pt control, all ventilatior = CMV
who benefits from SIMV
intact respiratory drive. can take their own breathes between pre-set intervals
best ventilator setting for intact respiratory drive
