Mechanical Ventilation Flashcards
Indications for vent
- VD/VQ> 60%
-QS/QT >20%
-A-a gradient >300mmhg
-decreased VT< 5ml
-MIP<~20
-MEP<40cmh2o
Mv < 5 or > 10
MIP explanation
Strength of patients diaphragm
MEP explanation
Strength of pt abdominal muscles
VD/VQ explanation
How much VT is lost to VD
QS/QT explanation
Any condition that causes collapses or fill alveoli with fluid.. causes a pulmonary shunt
<20%
A-a gradient explation
Determine the source of hypoxemia
<300
VC explanation
Is the amount of air that can be forcefully blown out
Impeding respiratory failure
Indicates an increase in Co2 levels.
Presistant hypoximia
.
Respiratory rate <8 or >30
Intitubate
Static compliance
<25ml/cm indicates how stiff the lungs are.
Persistent hypoxemia
Patient is unable to oxygenate
IPPV
IPAP setting
12cm h2o
IPPV
EPAP setting
5cmh2o
Modified jaw trust indicated with
Patients with suspected cervical injury
Permissive hypercapnia MV tx
Use a low VT
High PEEP is used in ARDS to prevent
Atelectotrauma
Capnography
Measures end tidal CO2
Capnography indications
Confirms ETT placement
MV
CPR
Capnography provides rapid detection of
Circuit disconnect
Esophageal intubation
Hyperventilation
Hypo ventilation
Aveoliar Mv
(Vt-dead space) * rate
What increases work of breathing
Deadespace COPD
Do not add dead space to patients with
Closed head injury
SIMV mode
