HFV Flashcards
W/HFV, are the potential hazards of Mechanical ventilation eliminated?
No.
RCT’s show _____ advantage of HFV vs. CMV
No advantage
HFV is used with rates greater than_____/minute.
> 150 breaths/minute
-conventional vents are not allowed to go over 150 breaths/minute
With HFV, _____ _____ is smaller than the dead space
Tidal Volume
Oxygenate w/what HFV settings?
MAP/FRC
Is FRC w/HFV still crucial?
Yes
Oxygenation depends upon what with HFV?
MAP & FiO2
FRC is how you __________.
Oxygenate
Does the JET vent oxygenate the baby?
No, it’s the CMV connected to the JET that oxygenates baby (CPAP, PEEP, FiO2)
What is the ONLY thing you do with a JET ventilator?
Remove CO2
Would you ever place a baby on JET just for poor oxygenation?
No
W/JET vent, where do you read MAP?
On the JET vent
______ is often the most critical value in determining optimal gas exchange (oxygenation) as it correlates with lung volume.
MAP (to maintain FRC)
W/the JET vent, you have to go up on the _____ to maintain the MAP
PEEP
Don’t let the _____ fall when initiating JET vent
MAP
To avoid barotrauma caused by increased ____when using the JET vent, increase ______, and decrease _____.
Vt
PEEP
PIP
Alveolar MV = ____- dead space x RR. You should not be able to ventilate with HFV, but you can.
Vt
Hz=
1/sec or 60/min
