Mod 4 (VILI & PPV) Flashcards
What happens when cuff pressures are low?
1. Risk of aspirations and increase risk of pneumonia.
- Leak = poor ventilation = decreased Vt
How often should the position of the EDT be moved (side-side)
Q24h
Define purulent sputum
pussy sputum
Describe PPV impairment of ICP and Cerebral perfusion? what are the downstream repercussions?
Ventilator-induced lung injury:
what can result of too much of PPV?
Barotrauma
volutrauma
atelectrauma
bio trauma
oxygen toxicity
What is the most severe and acute form of lung injury?
Barotrauma: lungs pop
Volutrauma is characterized by
Over-distension of alveoli, they overstretch and get leaky.
Lungs become swollen and heavy.
regional
Atelectrauma is usually associated with and is characterized with
edit
Very stiff lungs; occurs in dependant areas.
Associated w/inadequate PEEP.
What does atelectruama lead to?
Huge risk factor of ARDS
Leads to shear stress
-(strain exerted on alveolar wall between expanded lung unit and derecruited lung unit
What is Atelectruma?
Injury that results in repeated openings and closing units at lower lung volumes
Define Biotrauma
The lung releases inflammatory mediators as a result of volutrauma and/or atelectruma.
Resembles ARDS
what do we want to keep delta pressures below?
below 15 cmH2O
Review slides before 24. fell asleep too much.
What affect will adding positive pressure have systemically?
Increases intrapleural and intrathoracic pressure;
- dependant off PEEP, PPV, and Lung compliance
What may cause a decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance?
- decrease due to improved ABG
- increase due to compression of alveolar cap by and over-distended alveoli; can result in decreased pul.perfusion
Atrial natriuretic peptide
Changes the level of salt released?
Describe typical Renal system response from hemodynamics changes?
- When Urine output [U/O] decreases as a result of PPV?
Decreases CO -> decrease in renal perfusion
How does a Decrease in PaO2 affect renal function?
Decrease U/O
- function is dramatically decreased when < 40mmHg
PaCO2 > 65 mmHg decreases what in the renal system?
Kidney function
Liver function: PEEP has more impact on what, in comparison to PPV?
Hepatic blood.
