Clinical prep Flashcards
Ventilator vt formula for mask ventilation
4-6 ml/kg
NPO calculation formula
4,2,1
4mlx 1st 10 kg = 40ml
2ml x 2nd 10 kg = 20 ml
1 ml x Every KG > 60 mmhg = x
40+20+ x = ml/ hr to replace
VT formula for ventilator
6-8 ml/kg of IBW
Goal airway pressure while mask ventilating
< 20 cmH20
> 20 -> pressure will open the LES and cause air to enter the stomach (aspiration risk)
Steps between giving sedatives and paralytics during intubation
stimulate pt
check eye lid reflex
prove ventilation; chest r/f, expired vt, peak airway pressure, etco2, Hr/ SPO2/ BP
check twitches

Volume control
constant inspiratory flow until set tidal volume is met
Confirmation of correct intubation

Pressure control
decelerating inspiratory flow as the set pressure is being reached.
Pressure support (PSV pro)
Pressure support, inspiratory flow is decelerating and in synch with the patients
Pressure control volume guaranteed
Tidal volume is the primary setting
decelerating inspiratory flow as the set pressure is being reached
ventilator delivers set tidal volume at intervals based on set respiratory rate, for each breath the ventilator adjusts the inspiratory pressure to use the lowest pressure required to deliver the tidal volume, based on the patient’s compliance and the inspiratory pressure for subsequent breaths.
inspiratory pressure ranges;
low end; PEEP + 2 cmh2o
Max; Pmax - 5 cmh2p
Assist control
Resistive vs elastic pressure
resistive pressure = airways
elastic pressure =

Can be VCV or PCV, or PCV-VG.
CPAP/ PS
Primary setting is peep and inspiratory flow is decelerating and in synch with the patient
How do cain derivaties work
bind to the inside H/ innactivation gate of the fast sodium channels to prevent an ap from being sent
CPAP vs BIPAP
BiPAP machine provides different air pressure levels for inhalation and exhalation. In contrast, a CPAP machine uses the same amount of air pressure whether the user is breathing in or out.
How does atropine work
antimuscarninic, it inhibits the Vagus nerve from secreting ach on the muscarninc receptors in the heart that are responsible for hyperpolarizing the cell by transporting K+ out of the cell which typically keeps the heart rate low. Blocking this will increase the hear rate
benedryl is also an antimuscarninc
