ch 3 how a breath is delivered Flashcards
During mechanical ventilation what are the two forces (pressures) that act on the respiratory system to produce transrespiratory pressure?
- muscle pressure
- ventilator pressure
what are the 4 control variables?
- pressure
- volume
- flow
- time
the amount of volume delivered will depend on compliance and resistance to what?
gas flow
what is the Rhorer equation of motion?
Pmus + Ptr = V/C + (Raw x flow)
there are only 2 pressures that can ventilate a patient what are they?
- patients muscles
- ventilator
The delivery of__________ is a ventilators single most important function?
inspiration
this is the primary variable that the ventilator manipulates to cause inspiration?
control variable
the volume and flow waveforms are constant pressure varies with changes in compliance and resistance?
volume control
what are 3 names used for volume ventilation?
- volume targeted
- volume controlled
- volume limited
what control is used in A/C and SIMV?
volume ventilation
pressure delivered constant, volume and flow vary with changes in compliance and resistance?
pressure control
what are 3 names used for pressure ventilation?
- pressure targeted
- pressure controlled
- pressure limited
pressure waveform will be unaffected by changes in compliance and resistance. The flow and volume waveforms change with comp/resist?
pressure controlled breath
what control are we in if flow usually starts out high and then tapers off?
pressure ventilation
high gas flows produce uneven distribution of gases. “slow spaces” are underventiated. at end inspiration what flows tend to ventilate better? what should the flow patter look like?
- reduced flows
- decelerating
what is the flow control formula?
flow= volume / time
or
volume= flow x time
if changes in comp/resist do not affect volume waveform they will not effect______ waveform?
flow
when both pressure and volume waveforms are affected by changes in lung characteristics the ventilator is _______controlled?
time
many high frequency jet and oscillators are ____controlled?
time
what are the 4 basic shaped for waveforms?
- rectangular (square or constant)
- exponential (increasing ((rising)) or decreasing((decaying))
- sinusoidal (sine)
- Ramp (ascending, descending) ((decelerating))
start of breath, initiation
trigger
what is controlled during breathing. Inspiration itself. one of the 4 phases of CMV
limit variable
what terminates breath, end of breath?
cycle
expiratory phase goes to what?
baseline
what begins or triggers inspiration?
- patient
- machine (time)
ventilator begins itself, machine is insensitive to patients efforts, rate of breathing controlled by the machine?
“machine” time triggered
if a rate was set at 12 breaths per minute how many seconds in between breaths?
5 sec
60/12
determines the amount of effort when a patient triggers?
sensitivity
