Q

in morbid obesity how does pplat inaccurately predict Tp?

A

low chest wall compliance leading to a high pleural pressure therefore the pplat will overestimate the Tp and underestimate the pressure needed to overcome this higher pleural pressure

Q

PRVC you set what?

A

goal TV

28
Q

in PAV what does the clinician set?

A

percent work of breathing

29
Q

NAVA does what?

A

pressure is proportional to the electrical activity of the diaphragm

30
Q

how do you measure the electrical activity in NAVA?

A

via esophageal probe

31
Q

benefits of NAVA?

A

decreases innefectvie tirggering
decreases overinflation
improves neuro ventilation coupling

32
Q

change O2 in HFOV?

A

change mean airway pressure, I time, and bias flow

33
Q

change ventilation in HFOV?

A

higher frequency lower MV

higher delta pressure higher MV

34
Q

why is there an increased mortality in HFOV?

A

increase mAP, leasding to decrease venous return

35
Q

concave up

A

overdistension, stress index >1, compliance decreases over time

36
Q

concave down

A

underrecruitment, stress index <1, complaicne increase with time

37
Q

TPP at end expiration?

A

PEEP- esophageal pressure at end exp

negative value indicates repetitive collapse

38
Q

TPP at end inspiration?

A

plateau- esophageal pressure at end insp

> 25 indicates overdistension

39
Q

definition of the TPP?

A

pressure to overcome the lung recoil

40
Q

esophageal pressure in obestiy and volume overload?

A

high

41
Q

what is pendelluft?

A

caused by regional variation in ressitance and elastance

41
Q

what is pendelluft?

A

caused by regional variation in ressitance and elastance

42
Q

in pressure control when does plateau equal peak?

A

during zero flow

43
Q

in spontaneously breathing patient, how would you measure autopeep

A

esophageal balloon

44
Q

why would autopeep be underestimated in asthma?

A

not accounting for the closed airways during exhalation

45
Q

a patient with marked respiratory distress spontaneous breathing, why is their TPP high?

A

very negative pleural pressure

46
Q

static compliance equation.

A

VT/(plat-PEEP)

47
Q

dynamic complaince eq

A

VT/(PIP-PEEP)

48
Q

compliance of the chest wall?

A

VT/(change of esophageal pressure)

49
Q

worse compliance

65
