34
Q

Milrinone

A

PDE III Inhibitor

increased Co, , contractility

35
Q

Inspiratory stridor- location

A

above vocal cords

36
Q

ARDS definition

A

onset w/in 1 week of insult
bilateral opacities
not related to pulmonary edema or cardiac cause
Po2/Fio2 <300 on at least 5cm PEEP

37
Q

TV in ARDS

A

~6ml/kg

prevent volutrauma

38
Q

Full Expansion on CXR

A

9-10 posterior ribs

6-7 anterior ribs

39
Q

Diagphrams on Lateral CXR

A

right over left

40
Q

Size of pulmonary nodule (definition)

A

less than 3 cm

41
Q

Nodular Pattern on CXR

A
  • small discrete rounded opacities

- interstitial lung disease

42
Q

Air Space Disease on Imaging, ddx includes 5 categories

A
water/pulm edema
pus
blood
cells (lymphoma)
lipoproteins (pulmonary alveolar proteinosis)
43
Q

Structures of Anterior Mediastinum

A

teratoma
thymoma
retrosternal thyroid
lymphoma

44
Q

IPAP

A

inspiration pressure

ventilation

45
Q

EPAP

A

expiration

oxygenation

46
Q

AC Mode

A
  • set volume and backup rate

- pressure is variable and related to compliance

47
Q

Compliance =

A

change in volume / change in pressure

48
Q

Pressure Control Mode

A

Select pressure

- TV, rate are variable, volume dependent on compliance

49
Q

PEEP and venous return

A

PEEP increases intrathoracic pressure which increases R atrium pressure
blood flows to heart due to gradient between which is decreased when you have increased R atrium pressure
–> decrease in Cardiac Output

50
Q

Peak Pressure

A

when there is airflow/airflow resistance

51
Q

What causes high peak pressures

A

bronchospasms, secretions, ETT occlusion/plugging, mucuous plugging

52
Q

Plateau Pressure

A

pressure when airflow stops/lung compliance

53
Q

Cardiac Output =

A

HR x SV

54
Q

Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation

A

75-85
“oxygen left over”
oxygen bound to Hgb returning to heart

55
Q

Paraprotein Gap

A

Total protein - albumin

>4 significant
