output waveform and monitoring Flashcards
What are the Maneuvers of evita
- “Special Procedures”
- Occlusion Pressure P 0.1
- Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSB)
- Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF)
- Intrinsic PEEP
What is occlusion pressure P0.1
- Negative mouth pressure after 0.1 seconds
- -> Indicative of drive to breathe
- ->a measurement of diaphragmatic strength
**the inspiratory valve is closed after 1 expiration and measures airway pressure produced by patient’s inspiratory effort during 100ms
What is the normal and abnormal occlusion pressure ?
normal: 0 to -2 cmh2o
too high: towards -6 cmH20
–>huge drive can only be maintained for a period of time
–>indicate distress
too low: respiratory muscle fatigue
When is occlusion pressure used?
for patient just started weaning
How does occlusion pressure work?
exhalation valve is closed during patient inspiratory effort
What is the Rapid Shallow Breathing Index
the quotient
of spontaneous respiratory rate and tidal volume
more reliable measurements of weaning status
What is the formula of RBSI
Fspn per min over Vt(in liter)
What is the implication of low RBSI
lower the RSBi index for a patient with spontaneous
breathing, the more probably he or she can
be weaned successfully
–>that patients who can
be weaned successfully tend to have a lower spontaneous
respiratory rate and a higher tidal volume
than those who are not yet ready to be weaned.
What is the criteria of low RSBI
<105
means lower RR and higher Vt
> 105 not likely to wean
Which mode can RSBI be used
spontaneous mode
What is the NIF
negative inspiratory force after exhaling
aka MIP
how is NIF performed
- performed from RV after manually extended exhalation
- no flow during maneuver, max of 15 seconds
- some alarms will be turn off until maneuver is completed
- not allowed to be performed in neonate and NIV
What are the 2 possible outcomes of NIF
< -30 cmH2O high probability of an effective cough
> -20 cmH2O unlikely
What is occlusion pressure P0.1
- Negative mouth pressure after 0.1 seconds
- -> Indicative of drive to breathe
- ->a measurement of diaphragmatic strength
