28
Q

PALS Meds

  • When would you use Epinephrine?
A

Cardiac arrest/shock

29
Q

PALS Meds: Lidocaine

A

Tachyarrhythmia (given for VT/VF that has been shocked and 2 doses of epi given)

30
Q

PALS Meds: Milrinone

A

Cardiogenic shock

31
Q

PALS Meds: Procainamide

A

Tachyarrhythmias

32
Q

PALS Meds: Sodium Bicarb

A

Metabolic Acidosis

33
Q

What drug is a possible treatment for a Pediatric cardiac arrest?

A

Lidocaine

34
Q

What complications arise with retained secretions?

A
  • Increased airway resistance
  • Increase WOB
  • Hypoxemia, hypercapnia, atelectasis and infection
35
Q

What are the Vent Setting Parameters for: Volume Control (VC)?

A

Vt, RR, PEEP, Flow Rate, Ti Pause

36
Q

What are the Vent Setting Parameters for: Pressure Control (PC)?

A

ΔP, RR, PEEP, Ti total

37
Q

What are the Vent Setting Parameters for: Pressure Control Adaptive (PRVC)?

A

PRVC: Vt, RR, PEEP, Ti total

38
Q

What are Time Constants?

A

TC = R x C

  • Time required to inflate region
  • Used pressure control by determining equilibrium
39
Q

How do you calculate Minute Volume (MV)?

A

Vt x RR

40
Q

How do you calculate Vt in adults?

A

6-8ltrs x weight in Kg

41
Q

What Mech. Ventilation goals should you tailor for Pts with: COPD and/or Asthma?

A

RR set 10-12

  • Shorter Ti, Faster flow = more time to exhale
  • Watch PEEP (air trapping)
  • If Air Trapping occurs, reduce Ti to increase Te.
42
Q

What Mech. Ventilation goals should you tailor for Pts with: ARDS?

A

Pressure Control ventilation & Optimal PEEP is key in oxygenation.

  • Smaller Vt (4-6ml/kg)
  • PEEP > 10-14cmH2O
  • RR set to reflect permsive hypercapnia (pH 7.25)
  • 1:1 I:E
43
Q

What Mech. Ventilation goals should you tailor for Pts with: TBI?

A
  • Target PaCO2 35-40mmHg & pH 7.40-7.45
  • PaO2 80-120 mmHg
    = loaded for bear. What blood reaches the
    brain will be hyper oxygenated.
44
Q

For Pts. on TBI protocol, why do we aim for lower ends of pH and PaCO2 norms?

A

Therapeutic hyperventilation aides in cerebral vasoconstriction. For TBI we want vasoconstriction because it:

  • Decreases blood flow
  • Lowers Metabolic Demand
  • Decreases ICP
45
Q

When there is changes in compliances, when would you use volume or pressure control?

A
  • Use volume control for less damage during changing compliance
  • Use pressure control for less damage during changing resistance
46
Q

What does high PCO2 do systemically vs in the lungs?

A
  • High PCO2 systemically causes vasodilation (wash out)
  • High PCO2 in the lungs causes vasoconstriction (hypoxic drive, redirect blood to where it can get oxygenated)
47

A

0.01mg/kg every 3-5 mins
