NPPV Basics Flashcards
First-choice therapy for the treatment of obstruction to sleep apnea (OSA)
CPAP
Type of ventilator used during the polio epidemic (two words)
Iron Lung
A therapy used to deliver aerosolized medication periodically with positive pressure breaths (abbreviations)

Another name for a bilevel continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) Ventilators (abbreviation)
PTV (Pressure - targeted ventilators)
A symptom of kind of hyperventilation
Fatigue
A type of sleep apnea that originates in the brain
Central
A setting that allows positive – pressure levels to gradually
Ramp
Medication given to treat gastric insufflation
Simethicone
A type of heater humidifier that has been shown to reduce drain of the nasal mucosa doing NIV
Passover
A type of mask covers both the nose and mouth
Oronasal
Abbreviation for a type of pneumonia acquired outside of the hospital
CAP (Community acquired pneumonia)
Send material that is used to fasten the head gear
Velcro
A type of pulmonary edema due to a weak heart
Cardiogenic
Uses a pressure – targeted ventilator and a mask (abbreviation)
IPPV
Noninvasive positive – pressure ventilation (abbreviation)
NIV
A type of hypoventilation it occurs at night
Nocturnal
Type of sleep apnea that occurs from the collapse of the upper airway during sleep
Obstructive
A portable negative-pressure device (two words)
Chest cuirass
The setting that controls the amount of time it takes for the positive – pressure level to gradually increase (two words)
Delay time
The excretory setting for a bilevel CPAP (abbreviation)
EPAP
Right – sided heart failure due to an obstructive pulmonary disease (two words)
Cor pulmonale
Secretions that are dried up our
Inspissated
The inspiratory setting for bilevel CPAP (abbreviation)
IPAP
Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs due to increased capillary hydrostatic pressure secondary to elevated pulmonary venous pressure.
Chest cuirass
The shell-light device that fits over the thorax for the delivery of negative pressure ventilation.
Community-acquired pneumonia
A common infectious respiratory disease characterized by inflammation of lung tissue, acquired outside the hospital setting by inhalation Or aspiration of pathogenic organisms into a long segment or low. An ammonia contracted from the environment as a post to be in a choir with any medical facility (e.g., Hospital in acquired pneumonia), CAP is usually more sensitive to antibiotics.
Cor pulmonale
Enlargement (hypertrophy) or failure of the right hard and pulmonary hypertension cause by certain pulmonary parenchyma or pulmonary vascular disorders.
Delay – time control
A comfort feature Inc. in mini non-invasive pressure-targeted ventilators that allows a user to set a period of time that must elapsed before inspiratory and expiratory pressure is achieved prescribed levels. A very low pressure and continuous flow of gas will continue through the circuit during the interval of time. It is most often used in conjunction with the rent feature.
Expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP)
The application of positive pressure to the airway during exhalation.
Inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP)
The application of positive pressure of the airway during inspiration.
Inspissated secretions
Airway secretions that are thickened or Harden through the lost or evaporation of the liquid portion.
Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)
The application of positive pressure breast to the upper airway on a periodic basis semicolon used to provide short term or intermittent mechanical ventilation for the purpose of augmenting long expansion, delivering aerosol medication, or assisting ventilation.
Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV
A general term for mechanical ventilation provided by positive pressure. The acronym IPPV can also be used to mean invasive positive pressure ventilation in which the patient has an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube in place to connect to the ventilator.
Iron lung
A negative pressure ventilator. Also called a tank Ventilator, artificial long, or drinker respirator.
Nocturnal hypoventilation
An elevated PaCO2 and accompanying fall and oxygen saturation that occurs in response to a progressive fall and minute ventilation occurring during sleep, most often in the rapid eye-movement (REM) stage.
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV)
The delivery of positive pressure mechanical ventilation to the lungs without the use of an artificial airway.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
A condition characterized by episodes of breathing cessation during sleep. Relaxation of the muscles of the upper part of the throat during sleep causes the upper airway to close, blocking the upper airway (oral Fernix) and preventing air from entering the lungs. This result in failure of air movement through the obstructive passage while breathing efforts persist. At least five episodes of apnea (lack of air movement) lasting 10 or more seconds a characteristics of OSA.
Pressure – target ventilators
Ventilators that provide multiple modes for resetting the maximum inflation pressure rather than a fixed title volume.
Ramp
A comfort feature Inc. in mini noninvasive pressure – target Ted ventilators that allow an incremental rise and set pressures over a set period of time; most often used in conjunction with the delay – time control.
Simethicone agents
A non-prescription agent that reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach.
