Review Flashcards
Normal Neonatal Ti
0.3-0.4
Normal Vt for Neonatal
5 ml/kg
Venoarterial (VA) ECMO
Will offload both the heart and the lungs
Single Site Approach to Venovenous ECMO Cannulation
A dual lumen cannula is inserted into the jugular vein
Venous blood is withdrawn through one lumen that has ports in both superior and inferior vena cava
Reperfusion will occur in second lumen located in right atrium and will dump blood into the right ventricle, this is designed to reduce recirculation of blood
How Long is ECMO Used for Compared to Cardiopulmonary Bypass
ECMO is a longer therapy compared to cardiopulmonary bypass
Cardiopulmonary bypass is only used for hours
ECMO can be used for up to 10 days
What is the Main Reason Why ECMO is Use in Neonates
PPHN which results from different diseases such as pneumonia, MAS, RDS
CHD
What is the Main Reason Why ECMO is Use in Adults
Severe Asthma and ARDS
What are the risk factors that are associated with ECMO
Bleeding
Thrombosis
Infection
DIC
Nova Lung
Provides pumpless arterio-venous extrapulmonary lung support, because it is pumpless the blood pressure of the patient is needed to circulate the blood
Uses diffusion to provide oxygenation and ventilation
Venovenous (VV) ECMO
Will only support the lung
Venous blood will be divided into two semi-permeable membranes, and gas exchange will occur along the membrane
Indication for ECMO
Potentially reversible severe cardiac or pulmonary failure that is unresponsive to other treatment
Hyoxemic Resp Failure
Hypercapnic respiratory failure with an arterial pH <7.20
Refractory cardiogenic shock
Cardiac arrest
Failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass after cardiac surgery
As a bridge to either cardiac transplantation or placement of a ventricular assist device
Independent Lung Ventilation
A double lumen will allow for separate ventilation of each lung which can be done synchronously or asynchronously
Prone Positioning Indications
Severe ARDS-Main
Acute lung injury where there is V/Q mismatching
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
Pneumonia
Pulmonary embolism
Prone Positioning Absolute Contraindication
Acute Bleeding
Spinal instability
Pregnancy in the third trimester
Increased ICP
Traction
Weight > 136 kg
Unstable sternum (open heart surgery)
Ventricular assist device
Intraortic balloon pump
Prone Positioning Relative Contraindication
Multiple trauma
Continuous renal replacement therapy
Temporary pacemaker
Hemodynamic instability
Large abdomen
Gross ascites
How to Position the Prone Patient
Reverse trendelenburg, 30 degrees if possible in order to limit risk of aspiration
Use pillows/positioning devices to maximize diaphragmatic excursion
According to AHS How Long Should We Prone
Prone 3 hours and supine 1
Discontinuation of Proning
FiO2 < 0.60
Deterioration of patient status related to prone position
Positioning demonstrates no improvement in patient status or becomes no longer beneficial
Airway Pressure (Paw)
Paw=Ptp - Ppl
Reflects pressure required to inflate both the lungs and the chest wall
Paw Measuremnets
Plateau pressure during inspiratory pause
Total PEEP during an expiratory
So Paw = Palv during pause maneuvers because there is no flow
Drawback of Airway Protective Ventilation
Assumes that pleural pressure is negitable
Pleural Pressure (Ppl)
Pressure in pleural space and will be affected in intra-abdominal pressure and decrease in chest wall compliance
This can be measured through esophageal pressure monitoring,
What will Increase Ppl
Anything that will increase intra-abdominal pressure
Obesity
Ascites
Ileus
Bowel Edema
Post Fluid Resuscitation
Transpulmonary Pressure
Requires the measure of esophageal pressure through a esophageal balloon
The Peso is though to represent Ppl
Esophageal Balloon Pressure Measurement
The catheter is measuring the pressure in the thoracic cavity and you need to subtract this from the pressure that the ventilator is giving you can isolate the pressure in the lungs
Ptp = Paw – Pe
Inserting Esophageal Catheter
Insert 60 cm and then pull back to 40 cm looking for cardiac oscillation
Can push on belly as a check to see temp spike in pressure
Performing an Esophageal Pressure Monitoring
Do an inspiratory hold to determine Ptp which can be used to make sure that the pressures are <30
Do an expiratory hold to see if Ptp is positive which is needed in order to maintain recruitment of alveoli
Bladder Pressure and Abdominal Pressure
Bladder pressure and abdmonial pressure are correlated and not predictive
When there is an increase in bladder pressure that is a red flag
Lung Volume Recruitment Manoeuvre
LVRM are used to open up alveoli with high inspiratory pressure and determine appropriate PEEP
One way to perform a LVRM is to use a high PEEP of 30-40 for 30-60 seconds and make sure to monitor vitals while you are doing this
LVRM Indication
CXR with bilateral infiltrates (AIL or ARDS)
Atelectasis
Increase OI
High PEEP
Suctioning/Discontection
Contraindication to LVRM
Pulmonary air leaks: Recent, active pneumothorax, PIE, etc
Bronchopleural fistula
Hemodynamic instability (eg. low BP)
Head Injury
Obstructive lung disease
Pregnancy
When to Stop a LVRM
SpO2 falls < 80%
MAP < 60 or 20% change from baseline
HR < 60 or 20% change from BL
New arrhythmia
APRV Definition
Inverse ratio, pressure controlled, and time cycled ventilation mode
Advantages of APRV
Lung protective, and can help oxygenation and ventilation
Easy to manipulate MAP and I:E
May be more comfortable as allow for spontaneous breathing (positive effect comes from spontaneous breathing)
Disadvantages of APRV
May result in muscle atrophy
