22
Q

mean airway pressure

A

time weighted average airway pressure measured during entire cycle

23
Q

PEEP

A

increase mean airway pressure
increase recruitment of collapsed alveoli
prevent de-recruitment of easily collapsible alveoli

24
Q

PEEP and worsening oxygenation

A

over-distended alveoli

25
Q

PEEP and worsening hypoventilation

A

deadspace ventilation is increased

26
Q

PEEP and hypovolemic pt

A

causes hypotension

give fluids or turn off peep

27
Q

Control Mandatory Ventilation

A

OR

machine triggered, no ability to sense pts

28
Q

Assist Control Ventilation

A

constant TV, rate

trigger breaths with machine + pt spontaneous effort (neg pressure)

29
Q

AC Ventilation - issues

A

develop mild resp alkalosis

30
Q

Norepinephrine receptors

A

alpha one

beta one

31
Q

Norepinephrine uses and considerations

A

first line for septic shock (increase SVR)

but can cause cardiac dysrhythmias

32
Q

Phenylephrine Receptors

A

alpha one

33
Q

Epinephrine Receptors

A

B1, B2 low dose

alpha1 high dose

34
Q

Epinephrine Considerations

A

can elevate lactate during initial administration

35
Q

B1 receptor & SVR

A

initially decreases VR

36
Q

Dopamine receptors

A

d1, b1, alpha one

37
Q

Vasopressin works by

A

vasoconstricting, increases SVR

38
Q

caveat for vasopressin

A

decreases UOP at high doses

39
Q

Treatment for local extravasation

A

phentolamine alpha1 blocker, SQ

40
Q

Vasopressor complications

A

dysrhythmias, hyperglycemia from inhibition of insulin secretion, local extravasation

41
Q

Dobutamine receptors

A

B1 and B2

getting vasodilation and afterload reduction

42
Q

Dobutamine major AE

A

hypotension, dysrhytmias

43
Q

Milirinone mechanism

A

PDE III inhibitor

increases CO, contractility, profound vasodilation

44
Q

Milirinone metablized in

A

kidneys

45
Q

Milirinone better suited for…

A

right sided HF from pulm HTN

46
Q

How do we treat flash pulmonary edema?

A

Afterload reduction, hypertensives. Not necessarily diuretics.

47
Q

NIPPV - decreases mortality w/

A

COPD and CHF

48
Q

NIPPV - don’t use w/

A

AMS, emesis

49
Q

What is CPAP to start at?

A
  1. Titrate 2-5 q15min.
    Max is 20. (why?)
50
Q

BIPAP setting to start with

A

10/5

51
Q

Epi pen IM dosing

A

0.3 mg of 1 in 1000

52
Q

Epi IV bolus dose

A

0.1mg (1/10000) over 5-10min

53
Q
