Q

VAP

A

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a nosocomial infection occurring in patients receiving mechanical ventilatory support that is not present at the time of intubation and that develops more than 48 hours after the initiation of that support.

VAP can derive from endogenous bacteria (the baby’s own oropharyngeal flora) or exogenous bacteria (eg: Pseudomonas aeruginosa).

VAP is associated with prolonged hospitalization and increased mortality, especially in the very low birth weight infant.

Q

T-Piece Resusictator

During Resucictation

A

To deliver inspiration - place finger over the PEEP cap.

To deliver expiration - remove finger from PEEP cap.

Inspiratory time is operator controlled. A longer expiratory time is optimal, therefore the PEEP cap occlusion should be limited to approximately 0.5 seconds, regardless of the intended respiratory rate.

To achieve target respiratory rate of 40-60 breaths/minute repeat

55
Q

Suction Levels for Children

A

80-100 mmHg for both open and closed

56
Q

What Happends When Secretions Build Up in the Suction Catheter

A

Increased Resistance

Decreased ability to efectivly remove secretions

Can be due to the fact that we are using too small of a catheter

57
Q

Suction Level for Neonates

A

60-80 mmHg for both closed and open suctioning

58
Q

High Suction Levels

A

Suction flow is proportional to suction level when flow is smooth and laminar

However flow in suction system will be turbulent and disorderly so if suction increases by 50% then flow may only increase by 20-25%

59
Q

Sputum Induction Procedure

A

Do in AM and get 3 samples

If needed can rinse mouth and pretreat with bronchodilator

60
Q

Incentive Spirometry

PPV-Increase Intrapulmonary Shunt

A

Perfusion will go to gravity dependent areas and ventilation will go to gravity independent areas

The gravity dependent areas will be located on the posterior side when the patient is lying on their back

84
Q

Oxygen Index

A

OI = (FiO2 * MAP *100) / PaO2

If you are using FiO2 as a decimal then times by 100 if you are using it was a whole number then you do not need to multiple by 100

Positively correlated with mortality risk

You want a low OI (the lower the better) with <5 being normal

When you are in the 20 you need to begin to look at things such as ECMO because you lungs can no longer properly oxygenate the blood

85
Q

Biotrauma

A

Due to atelectrauma and volutrauma the lung releases inflammatory mediators

This can result in injury to other organs

86
Q

Volume Support Mode

A

Spontaneous Mode

Pressure Limited

Flow Cycled

Volume Targeted

87
Q

PAV

How to Manipulate Tidal Volume with E Senesitivity

A

A decrease in E sensitivity will increase tidal volume and Ti

Unless the patient is air hungry then they will be trying to breath at a high peak volume and it will cut them off faster= smaller breath

88
Q

What will happen to tidal volume if you decrease the resistance in pressure control

A

Volume will stay the same and Tidy will get shorter

What will happen to tidal volume if you decrease the compliance in pressure control

Decrease TC and Ti dyn and volume will go down

89
Q

Porportional Assist Ventilation

A

Used to assist spontanesou ventilation as the breath that will be delivered is similar to pressure support but the support level if variable and porportional to spontaneous effort

This means that the harder the patient works the more support the vent will deliver - POSITIVE FEEDBACK

90
Q

Porportional Assist Ventilation and E Sensitivity

A

E Sensitivity set at 27% (27% of inspiratory peak flow)

Pressure support patient trigger pressure limited flow cycles (flow cycle=e sensitivity)

You will never get equilibrium on a pressure support breath

91
Q

Mandatory Minute Ventilation

A

There is a set MV and if it is not reached the ventilator will kick and deliver mandory breaths until the set MV has been reached

92
Q

AHS Initiation of SBT

A

PSV of 7 and PEEP of 5 unless there is automatic tube compensation then you put PSV to 0

In first 5 minute monitor tobin score (>105), sweating, anxiety, mental status, SpO2 >90%

If any negative changes occur increase PSV and inform physician

93
Q

Tobin Score

A

Also known as rapid shallow breathing index

= (RR)/ (Vt)

An RSBI < 105 breaths/min/L has been widely accepted by healthcare professionals as a criteria for weaning to extubation.

Whereas patients with RSBI > 105 will have a high chance of failure and require re-intubation.

94
Q

Length of SBT

A

If pt has been ventilated >72 hours continue SBT 60-120 min

If pt has been ventilated <72 hours continue SBT 30 min

Monitoring should be done first 5 min and the Q15 after

95
Q

European Consensus and Delivery Room Oxygenation

A

Oxygen for resusucitation should be controlled via a blender

An initial concentration of 30% oxygen is appriopraite of babies <28 GA

For babies that are 28-10 week use an FiO2 of 21-30

96
Q

European Consensus and Spontaneous Breathing Babies

A

In spontaneous breathing babies stabilize babies with CPAP at 6 cmH2O via mask or nasal prongs

97
Q

6/9 (FiO2 0.5-0.3)

7/10 (FiO2 >0.5)

Rate: 20

Ti: 1 sec.

Separation of 3 cmH2O

105
Q

Indications of CPAP

A

PaO2 < 50 mmHg when FiO2 >0.60

Minute Ventilation is Adequate

PaCO2 is >50 and pH 7.25

Respiratory Distress

106
Q

Neonatal Respiratory Failure

A

PaCO2 > 60 mmHg

pH < 7.25

107
Q

Pediatric Positive Pressure Devices

Pressure Targeted

A

BiLevel/BiPAP (Pressure Support)

When there is a high WOB we will use pressure support rather than CPAP

108
Q

Pediatric Positive Pressure Devices

Pressure Targeted Advantages

A

Leak compensation

Spontaneous and time modes

109
Q

Pediatric Positive Pressure Devices

Volume Targeted

A

Portable home ventilators

Most devices do not have a pressure support feature

Do not trigger well or support spontaneous breathing

Set up so Vt is greater than physiologic Vt

110
Q

Factors Unique to Pediatric Patients that Promote Complications of NPPV

A

Aspiration-Immaturity of airway protective reflexes

Reflux-Impaired gastroesophageal sphincter function during infancy

Upper Airway Obstruction-Anatomical factors, difficulty clearing secretions, large oral leak, mouth breathing

Agitation-Anxiety, incomplete understanding, developmental disorders

111
Q

PRVC

Compliance Decreases

A

Vt will remain the same so there will be an increase in Pplat an PIP (overall increase in Pmean)

MV will not change because RR and Vt is set

Tidyn decreases and Tistatic will increase, but Titotal does not change

Flow will increase

112
Q

PRVC

Resistance Decreases

A

Pressure will remain the same but flow will change due to the changing airway diameter

Tidyn decreases and Tistatic increases (Titotal does not change)

Peak flow will be directly proportional to resistance but overall flow will not change (and we can not measure)

113
Q

PRESSURE CONTROL VOLUME REGULATED

AS TI DECREASES

A

Titotal will decrease and may decrease to the point where we are no longer meetign equilibrium before exhalation starts

Because Ti total is shorter it means that Te is longer, so I:E will decrease

As Ti decreases PIP will increase in order to deliver set Vt

Because the time that we are dleivering the pressure has decrease there will be a overall decreased in Pmean

114
Q

Pressure Control

Compliance Increases

A

Vt will increase because we can increase the volume delivered at certain pressures, because Vt is changing MV will increase

Tidyn will increase and Tistatic will decrease, but Titotal will not change so I:E will not change

The change in Tidyn will increase flow and decrease Pmean

115
Q

Pressure Control

Resistance Increases

A

The only thing that will change is that your Ti dyn will get longer

Remember as resistance increase your flow will decrease making a longer Ti dyn and a short Ti static

116
Q

Mechanical Ventilation and BPD with a PDA

A

When there is a left to right shunt it can lead to chronic pulmonary edema (BPD) making the baby oxygen dependant

So when the baby cries it will create pressure in their lungs creating a right to left shunt which will decrease saturation, but as soon as the baby relaxes their saturations will improve

117
Q

BPD AND OXYGENATION

A

Supplemental oxygen is the main therapy for infants with BPD but the appropriate target remains controversial

Oxygen saturations are accepted at 85-90% after preterm birth

Keep in mind though that patients with severe BPD usually are <36 weeks which is past the time when ROP is a major concern

For BPD, growth failure, respiratory exacerbations and PPHN however we accept saturations of 92-95%

118
Q

Severe Refractory Hypoxemia in Neonates

A

PaO2 < 50mmHg despite CPAP and FiO2> 0.60

119
Q

Silverman Index

A

The higher the silverman score the high the distress

Score 10=Severe respirtory distress

Score >/=7 Impending respirtroy failure

Score 0 No respirtory distress
