Pulm Flashcards
3 subjective findings in ARDS (As)
Acute dyspnea
Anxiety/agitation
Air Hunger
patho phys of ARDS
alveoli damage
increased permeability to alveolar/cap membrane
cytokine increase
surfactant/compliance decrease
3 clues on CXR for ARDS
bilateral infiltrates
no clear diaphragmatic borders
white out
ARDS BERLIN diagnostic & range
Dx ARDS
Pa02/FiO2
200-300 mild
100-200 moderate
<100 severe
Tx of ARDS with mechanical ventilation
FiO2 <65%
lower TV for PIP <30
avoiding high PEEP
WHAT TYPE OF RESP FAILURE
PaO2 =/< 60mmHg
Inability to adequately oxygenate blood
oxygenation defect
Hypoxemic
acute lung injury, pulm edema, pneumonia, and R to L shunt without oxygen is a cause of what
hypoxemic resp failure
WHAT TYPE OF RESP FAILURE
PCO2 >50mmHg
inability to clear CO2
Ventilation defect
Hypercapnic Respiratory failure
obstructive disease, neuromuscular disease, central respiratory drive failure are all causes of what?
Hypercapnic respiratory failure
WHAT TYPE OF RESP FAILURE
hypoxemic (<50) and hypercapnic (>60)
mixed respiratory failure
what vent management helps with ventilation
Respiratory rate and tidall volume for CO2 removal
what vent management helps with oxygenation
FiO2 and PEEP
removal of CO2
ventilation
delivery of oxygen to tissue
oxygenation
how much pressure to hold alveoli open
PEEP
total pressure required to overcome airway resistance of elastic properties of chest/wall
peak pressure
pressure required to over come elastic recoil of lungs
plateau pressure
Peak pressures should be ______
Plateau pressures should be _____
PIP 35-40
Plateau: <30
helps overcome resistance of vent circuit/tubes
pressure support
Increasing what 2 vent measures will decrease CO2
TV and RR
indications for intubation
airway protection
resp failure
increased WOB
need for sedation/paralysis
decreased FEV1/FVC ratio =
obstructive
reduced FVC with normal FEV1/FVC ratio =
restrictive
easy tool for seeing if obstructive vs restrictive
plain spirometry
lungs have difficulty EXPANDING; decrease in lung volumes (problem getting in)
Restrictive
difficulty in air flowing OUT of lungs; decrease air flow & cant get out
Obstructive
amount of air remaining in lungs after MAX expiration
residual volume (RV)
total air exhaled quickly after inhaling max volume
forced vital capacity (fvc)
amount of air expired during forced vital capacity (FVC) portion of the test but measured in seconds
forced expiratory volume (fev1)
after spirometry with bronchodilator; what result will you see with asthma
full return to normal FEV1
partial improvement with bronchodilator spirometry may indicated
COPD; bronchiolitis
CAP is typically in regular community (adeno, corona)
what are some bacterias?
TYPICAL
ATYPICAL
Typical: step pna, h. influenzae, moraxella
Atypical: legionella, mycoplasma, chlamydia
CAP treatment for
healthy:
comorbidities:
healthy: macrolide (azithromycin) or doxycycline
comorbidities: levaquin, beta-lactam (augmentin plus azithromycin)
NON ICU management for CAP
change IV beta-lactam to ceftriaxone or ertapenemenand IV/PO fluoroquinolone
ICU management for CAP
IV beta-lactam PLUS azithromycin or fluoroquinolone
