Loudin - ARDS Flashcards
1
Q
Oxygenation of patient is determined by ?
A
Mean airway pressure
This is PEEP on vent = positive end expiratory pressure
2
Q
How do you determine CO2 output on vent?
A
Minute ventilation -> change tidal volume and respiratory rate to change minute ventilation
MV = TV x RR
3
Q
Management strategies for ARDS:
A
Low tidal volume ventilation
Permissive hypercapnia
Sedation
Open lung ventilation
High PEEP
