Acute respiratory acidosis
Bicarb has not had a chance to increase
Chronic respiratory acidosis
Bicarb has had a chance to increase
Indications for intubation
Airway support (altered mental status, secretions, airway anatomy) Pulmonary disease (ARDS, pulmonary edema, failed NIV) Circulatory causes (cardiopulmonary arrest, shock)
Two types of positive pressure ventilation
Volume controlled ventilation
Pressure controlled ventilation
Trigger of MV
Trigger initiates inspiration
Pressure, flow, or time
Usually Flow
Cycle of MV
Cycle terminates inspiration
Pressure, volume, flow or time
Limit of MV
Maximum level that can be reached and sustained during inspiration
Can be pressure, volume or flow
