Vol of gas exchange per min = Tidal vol (Vt) x Respiratory Rate (RR)

102
Q

Define PEEP

A

Positive End Expiratory Phase
Purpose: Maintains Pos Press in lungs; during exh pat doesn’t completely exh,
WHY? Keeps alveoli open improving gas distribution

A

-Circuit does not reach its min threshold within specific per of time
-Threshold is usually 15s
-Prevent false neg by setting pressure limit to just under patients peak inspiratory pressure

133
Q

Hypoxemia definition

Q

What is the average adult inspiratory flow rate?

A

20-35 L/min

142
Q

Relationship between Low Flow and minute ventilation

A

when min ventiliation exceeds the flow rate, more room air is inspired

A

Provides constant and precise FiO2 INDEPENDENT of the patient’s minute ventilation.

144
Q

Relationship between High Flow and entrainment port

A

Size of entrainment port determines FiO2, varies 24-50%

A

FiO2 decs as Min Vent incs (RR X TV)

149
Q
