Lab 3 Wkst Flashcards
What does CPAP stand for?
Continuous positive airway pressure
What does SIMV stand for?
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation
What does CMV stand for?
Continuous mandatory ventilation
What’s does IMV stand for?
Intermittent mandatory ventilation
What does PEEP stand for?
Positive end expiratory pressure
What does Pmean stand for?
Mean airway pressure
What does PIP stand for?
Peak inspiratory pressure
Name 3 trigger variables?
Time, flow, pressure
What is the cycle variable used as?
To end inspiration
What does the “I” in I:E stand for?
Inspiration
What does the “E” in I:E stand for?
Expiration
What does TCT stand for?
Total cycle time
How do you calculate TCT?
TCT= Ti+Te
What is the initial Vt range on a vent?
6-8 mL/kg
What is the initial RR on a vent?
10-20 bpm
What is the initial PEEP on a vent?
5cmH20
What is the equation for IBW?
Female: 105+5(H(inch)-60)/2.2
Male: 106+6 (H(inch)-60)/2.2
Multiply final answer by 6 & 8
What ventilator parameter would you expect to increase if your patient is coughing? How can we as therapist fix that problem?
Increase the PIP and suction the patient if there’s secretions sedate for irritation
Give an example of when a patient would benefit from lower Vt?
When the patient has ARDS or a restrictive disease.
What does your patient have to be doing to be placed on CPAP on the ventilator?
Spontaneously breathing
What’s a reason the low pressure alarm would be sounding on the ventilator
A leak or disconnect in the system
With ARDS patients what are we more worried about ventilation or oxygenation?
Oxygenation
