MECHANICAL VENTILATION: PEEP, cPAP, BiPAP Flashcards
MECHANICAL VENTILIATION
(3) General Purpose
- •Provides breathing support
- •Humidified O2
- •Positive pressure: Keeps alveoli open during inspiration and prevents alveolar collapse during expiration
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
- What is it?
- Applied when?
- Purpose
PEEP IS LIKE THE RESISTANCE THE PT HAS TO BREATH AGAINST IT ALLOWS ALVEOLI EXPANDSION
The decreased CO from PEEP can cause a decrease in BP
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
- Positive Pressure
- applied at the end of expiration.
- Keeps alveoli open
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
Positive End-Expiratory Pressure
Nursing Management:
Monitor
- Decrease?
- May cause?
- Increase ?
- Decreases cardiac output
- May cause volutrauma
- Increased ICP
Volutrauma
damage to the lung caused by overdistension by a mechanical ventilator set for an excessively high tidal volume. It results in a syndrome similar to adultrespiratory distress syndrome.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
CPAP
Airway open Car moving
AIR pushed in
CPAP IT IS LIKE AN AMBUB BAG PEEP CAN BE ADDED TO CPAP Good if you can breath independently
CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, is a treatment that uses mild air pressure to keep the airways open. CPAP typically is used by people who have breathing problems, such as sleep apnea.
CPAP Benefits
CPAP has many benefits (5)
CPAP has many benefits. It can:
- Keep your airway open while you sleep
- Correct snoring so others in your household can sleep
- Improve your quality of sleep
- Relieve sleep apnea symptoms, such as excessive daytime sleepiness

As above but ADD….IF the dog forgets
To breath..it PUSHES
Its head out the window every ten seconds !
BiPAP IF PT DOESN’T STICK HEAD OUT IT WILL START BREATH FOR YOU
Its head out the window every ten seconds !
use it pt is struggling eg COPD, endstager
Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is a proprietary name of Respironics, Inc. for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with pressure support breaths. It is used during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
