What does the compliance equation tell us?

A

Depending on which delta you set (control), the other variable depends on the compliance is.

Q

If you set a patient in volume control [VC]; which values are constant and which values are targets?

A

Volume is constant.

Depending on the volume; the pressure that’s required to reach that volume is gonna vary

Q

In volume control; which variable do you set and what does the vent do?

A

The vent adjusts pressure to ensure proper pressure is achieved

More P -> more flow -> More Vt (and in the inverse)

Q

Define: Dual Mode Ventilation: Pressure regulated volume control (PRVC)

A

Operates like pressure control but ensuring a set volume is achieved; takes feedback and makes adjustments based on that

21
Q

True or False:

Pressure regulated volume [PRVC] adjustments are made in real time according to spontaneous breaths

A

False

Adjustments are made slowly overtime

22
Q

In PRVC; what are the advantages of setting a target volume rather than a fixed volume?

A

TLDR: Gradual adjustments until it reaches and can operate at target volume based on pt compliance

Advantage: when patients compliance improves; the vent will adjust and reduce pressures so the pt can breath (can ween the inspiratory pressure)

-Can operate a pressure control but ensures that you are getting enough volume.

23
Q

Auto PEEP: How can you recognize it?

A

Expiratory flow does not return to 0 after pause or when the next breath is given

24
Q

Auto PEEP: purpose in use

A

Increase FRC, dilate the airways by manipulating the I : E ratio (increasing expiratory time)

25
Q

Auto PEEP: How to measure auto PEEP?

A

Expiratory hold; measuring expiratory pressures

26
Q

What is intrinsic PEEP

A

amount set above the PEEP?

27
Q

How do you prevent over distension of airways?

A

Keep Pplat under 30

28
Q

How do you calculate TCT?

A

60/rate

29
Q
A

R -> PIP -> V

C -> Pat -> o V

30
Q

What mode is pt/time triggered, pressure limited, and time cycled?

A

Pressure control

31
Q

What mode is pt/time triggered, flow limited, and volume cycled?

A

Volume control

32
Q

What mode is pt triggered, pressure limited, and flow cycled (insp flow declined to a certain level)

A

33
Q

What mode is pt/time triggered, pressure adaptive variable limited, and time adaptive cycled?

37
Q

What is pressure support in terms of trigger, limited by what, and cycled by what?

A

pt triggered

pressure limited

flow cycled

38
Q

What is VC-CMV control variable (w/inspiratory hold)?

A

volume/flow

39
Q

What is PC-CMV control variable?

A

Pressure

40
Q

What is PC-CMV Adaptive control variable?

A

Pressure

41
Q

A flow-cycled breath is considered to be cycled by what?

A

Patient cycled

42
Q

What are assisted breaths?

A

Triggered by Pt, but the vent controls the rest of the breath

43
Q

What is the difference between a mandatory breath and a assisted breath?

A

Assisted breath is pt triggered

44
Q

How do you calculate compliance?

A

C = Volume/ (Pplat - PEEP)

45
Q

How do you calculate resistance?

A

R = (PIP-Pplat) / flow

46
Q

How do you calculate time constant?

A

TC = R x C

47
Q

Why are some complications of increasing of PEEP risky?

A

Barotrauma aka overdistension of lungs

As PEEP is increased, the volume of air delivered to the lungs during each breath (VT) may need to be decreased to maintain safe levels of lung inflation.

48
Q

What affect does an increase of PEEP have on RR?

A

**Increasing PEEP can decrease patient’s respiratory rate. **

Because
Higher pressure in lungs by PEEP makes it easier to exhale, which can lead to a slower respiratory rate.

49
Q

How does increasing PEEP affect the I:E ratio?

A

Increasing PEEP can increase Ti

Because:
Higher pressure in lungs by PEEP make it harder for air flow in/out of lungs; requiring a longer Ti time to achieve adequate ventilation

50
Q

Why ma you need to FiO2 when PEEP increases?

A

PEEP decreases amount of fraction of O2 delivered to pt, conversly the O2 reaching the alveoli. [hypoxemia]

Solution:
increase FiO2

51
Q

How can you increase Vt?

A

1. Increase the respiratory rate:
-By increasing the number of breaths per minute, more air is delivered to the lungs over the course of a minute.

2. Increase the inspiratory flow rate:
-This can help deliver more air to the lungs in a shorter period of time, thereby increasing the tidal volume.

52
Q

When there is an increase in lung compliance, what does this mean for airway pressure/flow?

A

Lung are easier to inflate: meaning less pressure is required to achieve adequate ventilation.
