Intensivtherapie (insb. Covid) Flashcards
prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis
LMH s.c. enoxaparin 4000 UI/d, in case of overweight 6000 UI/d, & obesity 4000 UI 2x/d, GFR < 30 ml/min UFN 5000 UI 2x/d, hight risk of bleeding intermittent pneumatic compression (evidence???)
Prophylaxis of stress ulcers
Mucosal injury: 75-100% in endoscopic studies (risk factor: respiratory failure, coagulopathy, liver disease, renal replacement therapy // protective factor: enteral feeding)
occult bleeding: 5-25 %
clinically important bleeding: 1.5 %
prophylaxis of stress ulcer
benefit: protects against clinically important bleeding
risk: increases the incidence of C. difficile
low risk patient: no prophylaxis
high risk patients: mechanical ventilation > 48 h, ICU stay > 7 d, coagulopathy, dual antiplatelet therapy, occult bleeding > 6 d, sepsis, high dose steroids, renal replacement therapy
ROX index
(saturation * FiO2)/respiratory rate
ROX index:
in patients with acure respiratory failure (ARF) and pneumonia, the ROX index can identify patients at low risk for HFNC failure in whom therapy can be continued after 12 hours

PPE: personal protective equipment to don: anziehen to doff: ausziehen gown: das Kleid apron: Schürze goggles: Schutzbrille snuggly: kuschlig redeployment: Umgruppierung commence: beginnen jaw thrust: Kiefer-Handgriff
What is the primary parameter to recognize a respiratory deterioration?
respiratory rate inability to talk in full sentences use of accessory muscles of breathing saturation increased requirement of supplementary oxygen late: cyanosis, drowsiness
symptoms of respiratory failure
air hunger
chest tightness
inability to breathe deeply
pathophysiology of respiratory failure
type 1 respiratory failure: problem of a gas exchange
type 2 respiratory failure: problem of hypoventilation
etiology of type 1 respiratory failure
pneumonia
heart failure, pulmonary edema
asthma (leichte Stadien)
pulmonary embolism (Perfusions-Diffusions-Mismatch)
etiology of type 2 respiratory failure
opiate toxicity: reduced respiratory drive
iatrogenic over-oxygenation in patient witho metabolic compensation of hypercapnia
neuromuscular disease
reduced chest wall compliance
increased airway resistance
severe impairment of gas exchange in COPD
Covid-19 symptoms
14% type 1 respiratory failure (dyspnoe is disproportionately mild relative to the severity of disease)
5 % critically unwell
pathophysiology of the respiratory syndrome in covid-19 infection
early phase: damage of the pulmonary blood vessels –> impaired transfer of oxygen –> oxygenation via nasal cannula
late phase: typical ARDS –> mechanical ventilation
symptoms of respiratory distress
chest tightness
inability to breath deeply
anxiety
target SpO2 during the covid-19 pandemic
92-96 % (sufficiently to alleviate dyspnoea and maintain tissue oxygenation, avoiding the potentially harmful effects of hyperoxia and conserving hospital oxygen supplies) for type 1 respiratory failure
88-92 % for type 2 respiratory failure
