Q

Single Site Approach to Venovenous ECMO Cannulation

A

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Venous blood is withdrawn through one lumen that has ports in both superior and inferior vena cava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

Q

Lung Volume Recruitment Manoeuvre

A

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

36
Q

Link Between Thigh and Expiratory Flow Rate

A

Tlow begins once Phigh is over and at this point the expiratory flow rate is highest at this point and equal to PEF

Tlow should terminate at the time that PEF is reduced to 25-50% of peak

Expiratory flow is not finished before inhalation occurs so that PEEP can be maintained

37
Q

Total PEEP in APRV

A

Plow + Auto PEEP

38
Q

Frequency in APRV

A

Frequency is 60 seconds divided by the sum of Tlow plus Thigh

APRV is most successful with a limited number of releases.

Ventilator frequency should remain around the 10- 12 range. Increases outside this range promotes derecruitment, and risks a return to refractory hypoxaemia.

39
Q

APRV Settings When Switching From Conventional Ventilation

A

Phigh: Match Pplat on current mode (max 30 cmH2O)

Plow: Set to 0 cmH2O

Thigh: 4.0 sec

Tlow: 0.5-1.0 sec (often 0.8 sec)

40
Q

I:E in APRV

A

4:1 or greater

We want to spend 90-95% of the time in Phigh

41
Q

APRV Setting When Starting On APRV

A

Phigh: Set at 30 cmH2O

Plow: Set to 0 cmH2O

Thigh: 4.0sec

Tlow: 0.5-1.0 sec (often 0.8 sec)

42
Q

Increasing Ventilation When On APRV

A

Decreasing PaCO2

Weaning sedation/increasing spontaneous ventilation

Increase Phigh (increase your Vt and MV)

Decrease Thigh

Optimize Tlow to between the 25-50%

Increase Tlow

43
Q

Increasing Oxygenation in APRV

A

Increase FiO2

Increase Phigh

Increase Thigh

Decrease Tlow

44
Q

Weaning of APRV

A

Weaning is achieved through decreasing Phigh and increasing Thigh to get a low CPAP

The minute volume generated by release volumes decreases and is gradually supplemented by increased spontaneous minute volume, until the patient has essentially been weaned to pure CPAP.

45
Q

Barriers to the Use of APRV

A

Lack of clinician knowledge and comfort

Concerns about over-distension/over-stretching

No RCT showing improved outcome in humans (yet

May be contraindicated in air leak syndromes and conditions of TBI/high ICP due to hypercapania

46
Q

Tube Compensation

A

Nullify the resistance imposed on the tube to help facilitate a proper SBT

Will be similar to pressure support

Reduce of risk of air trapping

Will set % of compensation you want and whether you want inspiratory and/or expiratory help

47
Q

Assessing Optimal Tlow in APRV

A

Tlow should be re-evaluated every 1-2 hours for the first six hours as that is when the lung will undergo the most recruitment and we need to ensure that volumes do not exceed 8ml/kg

Tlow should also be re-evaluated after a change in the pressure setting

48
Q

Why is ARPV Helpful in ARDS

A

ARDS reduces FRC and compliance and increases WOB

Applying Phigh will restore FRC and create a better pressure volume relationship to help faciliate spontaneous ventilation and oxygenation

49
Q

Mean Airway Pressure in APRV

A

Mean Airway Pressure in APRV= (Phighx Thigh) + (Plow x Tlow__)

(Thigh+ Tlow)

50
Q

Timing of APRV

A

Most effective as treatment for ARDS when used as initial mode of ventilation

May be used with the spontaneous breathing COPD pt

51
Q

High Frequency Ventilation

A

52
Q

Frequency of HFV

A

1 Hz=1 cycle/sec=1 breath per second=60 bpm

53
Q

What Are the Indications for HFV

A

Acute Lung Injury (Severe Oxygenation Failure)

Ventilation failure

Upper airway surgery and bronchoscopy

BP Fistula or pulmonary air leaks in neonates (eg. PIE)

54
Q

High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV)

A

Passive exhalation which means there is the risk of breath stacking

Combines the use of a jet ventilator and a conventional ventilator

The conventional vent provides the PEEP (which = MAP) and +/- sigh breaths and then the jet ventilator will pulse above this

55
Q

High Frequency Oscillation (HFO)

A

Most common

Active exhalation

56
Q

MMV

A

When the patient is breathing above the set MV the vent will only deliver pressure supported breaths

When the patient is not meeting the set MV the vent will deliver mandatory breath

for total flow add the two toegther (=9) and then multiple by the set flow

75
