Lab 2 Exam Flashcards
What are 2 factors that help RRT pick the correct vent settings?
- IBW
- Disease process (diagnosis)
What some things that cause tachycardia in ventilated pts?
- Pain
- Anxiety
- Bronchospasm
- Secretions
- A-synchronized w/ the vent
What is weaning success ?
Pt being able to tolerate spontaneous breathing for 48 hrs following extubation w/o the need for reintubation
What is weaning failure?
Failure of SBT or the need for reintubation
What are sources of VAP?
- Hand hygiene
- Not changing filters
What are ways to prevent VAP?
- Wash hands
- Oral care
- HOB 30 degrees
- Closed in line suctioning
- changing filters
What mode is CMV?
Continuous Mandatory Ventilation
1. All breaths are mandatory
2. Volume-targeted or pressure targeted
3. Time-triggered
What mode is VC- CMV
Volume-Controlled Continuous Mandatory Volume
1. Volume targeted
What mode is PC-CMV
Pressure-Controlled Continuous Mandatory Ventilation
1. Pressure targeted
2. Time-triggered or pt triggered
3. Time cycled
RRT sets:
- length of inspiration
- pressure level
- backup rate of ventilation
What mode is IMV?
Intermitted Mandatory Ventilation
1. Periodic volume targeted or pressure targeted
2. Time triggered
3. Pt can breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths w/o receiving a mandatory breath
SBT=
Spontaneous Breathing Trial
What mode is CPAP
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
1. Weaning mode
2. 1 continuous level of positive pressure
3. Pt must be spontaneously breathing
**RRT sets:*
- Pressure support= 5
- PEEP= 5
- Fio2= >50%
What mode is PSV?
Pressure Support Ventilation
1. Constant pressure during inspiration once it sense
RRT sets:
- Inspiratory pressure
- PEEP
- Flow cycle criteria
- Sensitivity level
2. Used for weaning
The difference between IPAP and EPAP is
Pressure Support
What mode is BiPAP
Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure
1. RRT sets
- 2 pressure levels (inspiratory and expiratory positive airway pressure
What mode is PRVC
Pressure-regulated Volume Controlled
1. Volume targeted
2. Pressure controlled
3. Pt triggered
4. Time cycle
What mode is VSV
Volume Support Ventilation
1. Pressure support w/ volume targeted
2. Pt- triggered
3. Volume targeted
4. Flow cycled
What mode is MMV
Mandatory Minute Ventilation
1. Weaning mode
2. RRT sets
- minimum minute ventilation (dependent on pt’s current ME)
- High rate and low Vt alarms
What mode is SIMV?
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation
1. Used for weaning
2. Post-surgical pts
3. Prevents breath stacking
PEEP=
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
What is Dynamic Compliance equation
Exhaled Vt/ (PIP- Pplat)
What is Static Compliance equation
Vt/ Pplat- PEEP)
What is the difference between CPAP and BiPAP?
- CPAP= 1 continuous level of positive pressure
- BiPAP= 2 set levels of positive pressure
VE=
Minute Ventilation
F=
RR
Vt=
Tidal volume
