Mechanical Ventilation Flashcards
Inverse Ratio Ventilation
PCV plus prolong inspiratory time. Decreased insipratory flow rate is used to prolong the time for lung inflation (helps prevent aveolar collapse
Indications for inverse ratio
Refractory hypoxemia, or hypercapnia
Inverse ratio settings you can adjust
RR, Pressure support, I:E ratio, PEEP, FiO2
Adverse affects of Inverse ratio
Can cause Auto PEEP
Pressure Support (PSV)
Pt triggers each breath, but a set amount of pressure assists each breath
Indications for PSV
Weaning mode, patient only needs airway protection
PSV settings you can adjust
Pressure support, PEEP, FiO2
Adverse effects of PSV
may not receive adequate tidal volumes
High Frequency Ventilation (HFV)
Extremely small tidal volume ventilation with gas exchange occuring via diffusion. Lung is effectively kept open throughout ventilation. AKA open lung
High Frequency Ventilation (HFV) indications
Acute resp failure with need to provide lung protection. which prevents (volutrauma)
adverse effects of High Frequency Ventilation (HFV)
Very difficult mode of ventilation best used by those with alot of experience
Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) AKA BiPAP
Mode used for a spontaneously breathing Pt in which you are trying not to intubate
Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) AKA BiPAP indications
Acute resp failure, COPD, CHF, hypercapnic resp failure
Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) AKA BiPAP adverse effects
May insuflate the stomach and the patient needs to be awake
Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) AKA BiPAP Settings
Insp. pressure and exp. pressure, FiO2
