Mechanical Ventilation Flashcards
early tracheostomy benefits?
lower sedation use, trend toward dec mortality. no decrease in risk of PNA or days on MV
mechanism of benefit with HHFNC?
higher Fio2, CPAP, turbulent not laminar flow which leads to gas mixing, decrease in anatomic dead space
Pressure Control mode sudden loss of tidal volume with reduced expiratory flow and prolonged expiratory time?
airway obstruction
DTF threshold for failure to liberate from MV?
<30%
things on vent that will worsen diaphragmatic dysfunction?
increased support, increased use of controlled modes
abdominal paradox
sign of diaphragmatic weakness within 1 minute of SBT
things that can cause phrenic nerve injruy during CABG?
ishcemia to vaso vasorum, direct trauma, cold induced neuropraxia
diaphragm paralysis on sniff test?
during forceful inspiration the paralyzed diapharagm will move upward
physiology of SILI?
more even distribution of pleural pressure changes to all lung units, harder diaphragm work
SILI can cause these problems?
overdistension of damaged lung areas, air trapping from inc RR, resp muscle fatigue of diaphragm, pendeluft
how is. a pressure support breath terminated?
flow cycled via a percentage of the peak inspiratory flow
surrogate for transpulmonary pressure in a normal person?
plateau pressure
in morbid obesity how does pplat inaccurately predict Tp?
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
how does heliox work?
lower density than oxygen making more linear distribution through airways in high resistance situation
when is heliox CI?
it is a 70/30 mixture so if patient is requiring high oxygen then should not use
dynamic complicane equation?
TV/(peak-PEEP)
static compliance equation?
TV/(plateau- PEEP)
increase in peak without rise in plateau?
mucus plug
plateau and peak in (mainstem intubation, TPTX, air trapping)
inc in plateau and peak
causes of decreased static compliance? inc in both pip and Plat
PTX, ARDS, effusion, restrictive disease
causes of decreased dynamic lung compliance? inc PIP without inc plat
tube occlusion, bronchial secretions, bronchospasm
most direct measurement of diaphragmatic failure in MV?
transdiaphragmatic pressure via nerve stimulation
reintubation can lead to what outcomes?
inc change of nosocomial PNa, inc in crude mrotality, inc LOS
disadvantages of Volume AC?
worse change for respiratory alkalosis
what will increadse minute ventilation in HFOV?>
decrease in the frequency
change in bias flow in HFOV does what?
changers oxygenation
