Respiratory Flashcards
Alveolar ventilation calculation
TV x 0.35 x RR
Pressure control - what is variable?
What type of dz process to be used in?
Pressure fixed
Tidal volume is variable
TIny creatures or primary lung dz (don’t want to blow out the lungs on accident)
Cyanosis does not appear until PaO2 is what?
50 or less
Normal minute volume
150-250ml/kg/min
Is CO2 or O2 more soluble?
CO2 is 20x more soluble than O2
Patient on 100% O2 should have PaO2 of what?
300-500mmhg (99-100% SpO2)
Phase 2 of ARDS (proliferative) there is an overproduction of what? Causing what?
Type II pneumocytes - go crazy producing surfactant leading to pulmonary hypertension and more edema
PaO2 = what? (small a)
aterial
During the 1st phase of ARDS (exudative) , Type I and Type II pneumocytes are damaged. What does each do? Then what happens?
Type I - exchange gas
Type 2 - produce surfactant
Causes edema
Spo2 of 90-91% correlates to what PaO2?
60mmhg
Setting PIP alarms is super important during what mode?
VOLUME control - don’t blow the patient up
Higher levels of PEEP can lead to what?
decreased cardiac output
PA02 = what? (big A)
Alveolar
What is TRALI and when does it occur?
Transfusion related ALI
6 hours post transfusion
Normal PvO2
When do they need O2?
When is it emergency?
Normal 40 mmhg
30 needs O2
20 emergent
A-a gradient - 0-10 is what?
normal
SaO2 = what?
Saturation of O2 on Hemaglobin
Mandatory vs spontaneous breaths
Mandatory - machine controlled
Spontaneous - patient controlled
SIMV -
What is it?
What is it good for?
Good for weaning
Let patient breaths be (no support) but machine ensures # of breaths are there
any machine initiated are full breaths
- Decreased pleural space
- ETT obstruction
- Excessive dead space
Can all lead to what change in CO2?
ELEVATED
CO2
Normal PaO2/FiO2 RATIO
476
100/0.21
E-collar O2 “hoods” should be what percent covered?
Where should the opening be?
75%
