Lung Protective Ventilation Flashcards
Physiological respiration occurs through
negatice pressure
Negative intrapleural pressures provides
a positive transpulmonary pressure to minimize atelectasis at baseline
Positive transpulmonary pressures=
Palveolar- intrapleural pressure
Anesthetic and surgical factors alter
chest wall muscle tone
Chest wall muscle tone from anesthesia and surgical factors alter
intraplueral pressure gradient
Maintaining a positive transpulmonary pressure during is dependent on
maintain alveolar alveolar pressure
Anesthesia and surgical effects on the lungs include:
loss of muscle tone
elevated intraabdominal pressure
Loss of muscle tone effects on the lungs includes
upper airway muscles (obstruction)
chest wall and diaphragm (abdominal contents cephalad displacement and alveolar compression)
Elevated intra-abdominal pressure on lungs in surgery
increased BMI
pneumoperitoneum
trendelenburg positioning
Induction of anesthesia causes
reduction in FRC
Transitioning from upright to supine position
decreases FRC by 0.8-1L
Induction agents
further reduce FRC by 0.4-0.5L
Total reduction after induction is
1.2-1.5L
bring lung volume close to residual volume
Recruitable lungs
general anesthesia
loss of FRC and ateletasis
Non-recruitable lungs
ARDS
cellular debris
edema
Factors that contribute to alveolar collapse
position induction FiO2 maintenance emergence
Position as a factor that contributes to alveolar collapse
increased closing pressure leads to decreased FRC
Induction as a factor that contributes to alveolar collapse
loss of muscle tone leads to decrease FRC
FiO2 as a factor that contributes to alveolar collapse
resorption behind closed airways leads to atelectasis
increased FiO2 causes faster re-absorption
Maintenance as a factor that contributes to alveolar collapse
progressive airway closure with decreasing compliance
Emergence as a factor that contributes to alveolar collapse
high FiO2 promotes postoperative ateletasis
absence of CPAP causes continued lung collapse
Ventilator Induced Lung injury includes
Mechanical ventilation can induce lung injury
ventilation induced lung injury
ventilation associated lung injury
Adverse effects of mechanical ventilation
leads to potentially irreversible structural and functional damage
What is ventilation induced lung injury?
ventilator does not cause injury but the settings of the ventilator do
What is ventilation associated lung injury?
specific to OR setting
Ventilation Associated Lung Injury Examples
volutrauma
barotrauma
atelectrauma
biotrauma
Volutrauma
damaged endothelium, decreased surfactant, increased capillary leak
Barotrauma
damage from positive pressure effects
