Mechanical Ventilation Flashcards
Equation for compliance
Change in pressure/change in volume = Compliance
CMV
Controlled mechanical ventilation
*most commonly used in OR
CMV vent settings
Preset: TV, RR
Same as CMV
ACV, AC
*allows pt to trigger breath
—> if pt triggered, preset TV assured
“Control mode” in ACV
Pt is apneic, full support from vent
IMV
ACVC - but pt triggered breaths = their own TV
SIMV
IMV but if pt triggers, will allow pt breath
*prevents stacking
Goal FiO2
75-80% highest
Paw
Peak airway pressure
TV is based on
Weight, pathophys of lung injury
Normal compliance
70-100 mL/cm H2O
ARDS Compliance
<40-50 mL/cm H2O
Compliance calculation
[TV(Paw-PEEP)]
Tidal Volume —> normal lung compliance
5-7 mL/kg (IBW)
Initial vent settings
RR 10-20
MV 5-10 L/min
