Module 1 Exam: Classifications of Ventilation Flashcards
List the powering mechanisms
Electric, Pneumatic, and combined
How do you know if a machine is powered?
Look at machine to tell how its powered
What is the purpose of pneumatically powered vents?
To supply a gas that controls gas flow
What is the purpose of driving mechanisms?
Controls the direction of pressure/flow seperately
What vents are required for MRI?
Pneumatics and Fluidics
List the driving mechanisms
Pnuematic: clutch-valve, Servo, Solenoids, regulator, fluidics (not commonly used any longer)
Piston (electrically powered)- Linear Rotary
Bellows- driven by compressed gas source, may use one way valve, and compressed springs or weight if in a sealed chamber.
Microprocessor- all modern-day ventilators pneumatic controlled drive battery back-up
What is a control variable?
The variable measured by the ventilator control circuit and used feedback signal to control ventilators output.
List the control variables
Volume, pressure, flow and time is controlled by the vent during inspiration
In volume ventilation what variables change from breath to breath?
Pressure and flow
In pressure ventilation what variable changes
volume and flow
Control variables are responsible for inspiration or expiration?
Inspiration
List the cycles of ventilation
flow, pressure, volume or time
Define cycle?
When to stop inspiratory flow
Define limit?
Maximum amount of cycling of flow, time, pressure, and volume can attain.
List 5 phase variables
Trigger (pressure- set-1 to -2, flow-1 to 3LPM, manual) limit, cycle, baseline, and conditional variable
What are to ways to ventilate a patient?
Pressure and Volume
What are 3 things set on a pressure vent?
Pressure, flow, and rate
Define positive pressure ventilation
Set pressures being delivered to the airway that is higher than alveolar spaces.
What are some positive pressure vents?
Drager V500, PBI80 and PB 840, LTV 1200, and Evita
