Monitors Flashcards
Flow volume loop what’s on top and what’s on bottom
expiration on top, inspirations on bottom
flow volume loop, bottom is blunted
variable extrathoracic obstruction
flow volume loop, top is blunted
variable intrathoracic obsturction
flow volume loop, both blunted
fixed large airway obstruction
peak pressures represents what
maximal resp pressure reached at end-inspiration
Sum of PEEP + Pelastic and Pres
after elimination of resistance, resultant pressure will represent what
plateau pressure
what is plateau pressure
sum of elastic pressure plus Peep
peak alveolar pressure equivalent
what is resistive pressure
pressure required to generate constant laminar flow in the airways at initiation of inspiration , increased in asthma, pulm edema acute, ards, copd
Dynamic effective compliance
= (Peak - PEEP)/tidal volume, compliance and resistance components but measures impedence
Pplat - PEEP = ???
Elastic pressure, pressure necessary to maintain progressive inflation of resp system
Static effective compliance
= (Plateau - PEEP)/tidal volume
what is dynamic effective compliance reduced by
decreased in lung or chest wall compliance or increase in resistance
airway occlusion pressure
measurement of resp NM activity, developed at trachea during first 0.1s of inspiratory effort against occluded airway (normal 90cm)
maximal inspiratory pressure
isometric pressure measured in totally occluded airway after 20 seconds of 10 breathing efforts. more negative is ability to tolerate extubation, less than -20 is contraindication
wavelengths that pulse ox emits
660nm red and 940nm near infrared
oxygenated blood absorbs what from pulse ox
absorbs more IR light, deoxygenated blood absorbs more red light
falsely normal/high SpO2 with leftward shift in dissociation curve
carboxyhemoglobinemia and methemoglobinemia
falsely normal or high SpO2 with rightward shift in diss curve
sulfhemoglobinemia
as a person ages, there’s an expected _____ in PaO2
decrease
A-a gradient in healthy individuals
10
A-a gradient normal in presence of hypoxemia, then hypoxemia is secondary what
hypoventilation or decreased inspired oxygen
A-a gradient increased in presence of hypoxemia then it’s secondary to what
V/Q mismatch, pulmonary shunt, diffusion barrier
