Q

What is the main purpose of a Lung Volume Recruitment Maneuver (LVRM)

A
  • Improve gas exchange
  • Attenuate ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI(
  • Increase lung compliance
  • Minimize Physiologic deadspace

Q

What are the aims and goals of sustained inflation?

A

Aims to cause incremental improvement in oxygenation if pressure are adequate.

  • may achieve optimal ventilation lung volumes

Q

Why is sustained inflation a preferred method of Lung Volume Recruitment Maneuver (LVRM)?

A

Minimical complications w/good success prognosis in infants.

  • not a definitely superior technique

Q

How is sustained inflation performed?

A

Apply excess of expected alveolar opening pressures for periods of 5-30 secs

  • aka apply CPAP for 30s

Q

what CPAP levels should be applied during sustained inflation for differing patient weights?

A
  • Less than 10 kg = 30 cmH2O
  • 10 – 30 kg = 35 cmH2O
  • > 30 kg = 40 cmH2O

Q

What is the procedure for Intermittent sighs?

A

Supplementing several breaths

  • PEEP 2-5 cmH2O higher
  • PIP around 30 cmH2O (weight dependant)

Q

What should you monitor for a Lung Volume Recruitment Maneuver (LVRM)?

A

SpO2, EtCO2, and HR.

  • May be useful to do low flow inflection point analysis
