16
Q

vent provides all the work

A

CMV

17
Q

breath initiated by the patient and vent completes the breath

with minimum (back up) breaths per minute

A

AC

weaning is difficult

18
Q

intermittent mandatory breaths based on the set minute vent

px can make their own breaths not altered

A

IMV

19
Q

better patient vent synchrony

A

SIMV

20
Q

High flow can deliver up to how many ml per min gas flow

A

8L/min in an infant
60 L/min large child

21
Q

peep of high flow

A

2-5

22
Q

Continuous distending pressure
small vts at a rapid rate

A

High frequency vent

23
Q

HFOV hz and bpm

A

600-900 bpm
10-15 Hz

24
Q

major use of HFOV

A

lung recruitment

25
Q

HFOV vs conventional

A

Co2 clearance despite small VTs less than physiologic dead space

CO2 removal INCREASED by DECREASING the frequency (increased VT to develop, inc co2 clearance)

26
Q

when is PPV hemodynamically beneficial?

A

positive pressure ventilation decreases wall stress hence lower value of intraventricular pressure

MVR
(more sensitive to afterload)

27
Q

effect of PPV on cardiogenic pulmonary edema

A

edema rate is slowed (lower venous return to the thorax)

cardiac output is increased

28
Q

commonest indication for MV

A

GA

29
Q

Bronchiolitis MV strategies

A

balancing peep
VT target 6-8 ml/kg
RR titrated

30
Q

problem encountered in bronchiolitis

A

dynamic hyperinflation

31
Q

Goal of mv in PPHN

A

oxygenation
recruit lung
Co2 clearingb
alleviate ph

32
Q

mechanism of mech vent in pphn

A

reduced R to left shunt

high fio2

LONGER Tinsp
lower PaCo2

33
Q

Mv for CHD
large left to right shunt
(elevated pulmo bflow)

A

adequate peep to mt frc
lower fio2
hypercapnia

34
Q

in low pulmo blood flow

A

hypercapnia
adjust peep and vt (to inc blood flow)
early extubation
