Mod 5 Invasive Vent Modes and Settings Flashcards
Mechanical breaths modes only?
Controlled -> mandatory breaths only
CMV -> Mandatory + Assisted breaths
Combination breath modes?
IMV -> Mandatory + spontaneous
SIMV -> Mandatory + assisted + spontaneous breaths
Spontaneous breath modes only?
CSV
Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (CMV)
Delivers what kind of breath?
CMV is also known as A/C (assist/control ventilation)
SO…Mandatory and assisted breaths.
-guarantees a min rate.
Indications for CMV?
Patient requires full vent. support (FVS)
-high WOB
-crisis management
Ventilators: What mode requires a sensitivity set?
Any mod that has patient triggering as an option
Ventilators:
Advantages of CMV?
Pt can set rate
Guarantees:
-min number of mandatory breaths/min
-volume or pressure delivered (pt or time triggered)
-syncs w/pt effort
Ventilators:
Cons to CMV?
May cause/worsen auto-peep
Resp. alkalosis (if pt’s rate is high)
increased WOB if sensitive not set right
poor tolerance in non-sedated
possible resp. muscle atrophy
Ventilators:
what is synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)?
-Pt has a set rate and number of mechanical breaths.
IMV vs CMV?
IMV Patient can take breaths in between set breaths?
I:E ratio calculation
What vent setting is present lets you know you’re in volume control?
Flow
What setting is present that lets you know you’re in IMV vs CMV?
Pressure support.
Volume vs Pressure: Compliance equation
Compliance = Delta Volume / Delta Pressure
Compliance = Delta Volume / Delta Pressure
What does the compliance equation tell us?
Depending on which delta you set (control), the other variable depends on the compliance is.
If you set a patient in volume control [VC]; which values are constant and which values are targets?
Volume is constant.
Depending on the volume; the pressure that’s required to reach that volume is gonna vary
In pressure control; which variable do we set (constant) and which is the target?
Pressure is constant
Volume is variable (depending on compliance)
In volume control; which variable do you set and what does the vent do?
The vent adjusts pressure to ensure proper pressure is achieved
More P -> more flow -> More Vt (and in the inverse)
In pressure control; what variables do you set?
Respiratory rate [Frequent], FiO2, PEEP
AND
inspiratory pressure and time
Define: Dual Mode Ventilation: Pressure regulated volume control (PRVC)
Operates like pressure control but ensuring a set volume is achieved; takes feedback and makes adjustments based on that
