Mechanical Ventilation Flashcards
1
Q
Initial VT
A
5-10 mL/kg of IBW
2
Q
Initial PIP
A
< 35 cmH2O
3
Q
Initial RR
A
10-20 bpm
4
Q
Initial FiO2
A
40%-60%
or set to same previous level
5
Q
Initial PEEP
A
2-6 cmH2O
6
Q
Initial Infant VT
A
4-6 mL/kg
7
Q
Initial Infant RR
A
20-30 bpm
8
Q
Initial Infant PIP
A
20-30 cmH2O
9
Q
Initial Infant FiO2
A
40%-60%
10
Q
Initial Infant PEEP
A
2-4 cmH2O
11
Q
Normal Static Compliance
A
60 - 100 mL/cmH2O
12
Q
SIMV
A
Used for attends with tachypnea to avoid hyperventilation
May achieve lower MAP than A/C
Used with PEEP to reduce barotrauma
13
Q
IRV
A
For ARDS patients
Uses inverse I:E ratios
14
Q
APRV
A
Uses lower PIP resulting in lower mean airway pressure
Improves oxygenation using lower mean airway pressure
15
Q
Airway Resistance Formula
A
(PIP - Pplat)
