Q

On the Sensormedics 3100B the distance the piston travels determines:

a. The frequency
b. The amplitude
c. The mean airway pressure
d. All of the above

A

b.The amplitude

The frequency will be determined by how fast the piston is moving as it is the RR, which is determine and set with Hertz (RRx60). The mean airway pressure will be set and is held constant.

Q

You are ventilating a patient on the Sensormedics 3100B. The control that determines the FRC of a patient is:

a. Amplitude
b. Frequency
c. Mean airway pressure
d. Ti%

A

c.Mean Airway Pressure

You amplitude in a way is like you tidal volume but as it is the area under the curve it will also be affected by frequency. However tidal volumes in HFV are so small that the lung are practically unmoving which is why amplitude and frequency will not affect the FRC. What does determine the FRC is mean airway pressure which is the pressure that is held in the lung constantly in order to keep them open.

Q

Respiratory Alkalosis Management

A

When you are in respiratory alkalosis you want increase CO2, and by increasing frequency you are decreasing tidal volume and increasing what is considered the RR. Be increasing the RR you are spending less time in exhalation so you are holding onto more CO2.

Q

You are ventilating the patient using a NPB 7200 with the following settings. What is the approximate size of the spontaneous breath?

Mode: SIMV(VC)+PS

Set RR: 8

Vt: 550 mL

Plateau: 0.5 sec

PS: 10 cmH2O

PEEP: 8 cmH2O

FiO2: 0.60

Measured RR: 22

Measure MV: 8.9

PIP: 28 cmH2O (Mechanical Breaths)

A

First solve for the set minute ventilation

Set Minute Ventilation= 8 x 0.55

Set Minute Ventilation= 4.4

Next subtract the set minute ventilation from the measured minute ventilation

8.9-4.4=4.5

Finally solve for tidal volume with the minute ventilation equation

4.5=(22-8) x Spontaneous Vt

Spontaneous Vt=321 mL

Q

Which of the following statement is/are correct in regards to APRV/BiLevel

a. When set up it is similar to inverse ratio pressure control
b. Meant to be used on sedated comatose patient
c. Breathing on two CPAP levels
d. All of the above
e. A and C

A

a.A and C

What you are setting is essentially pressure control on a high CPAP level with a low pressure release time. This is setting up a long inspiration and short expiration with an inverse ratio of 4:!. To get the most benefit out of APRV you will want to use it where the patient is able to breath spontaneously (not sedated and comatose.

Q

Which of the following is the most appropriate ventilator strategy for a paralyzed and sedated patient with a closed head injury?

Hyperventilate the patient

Keep PaCO2 between 35-45 and SpO2 88-92%

Keep PaCO2 between 35-40 mmHg and well oxygenation

Permissive hypercapnia strategy

A

Keep PaCO2 between 35-40 mmHg and well oxygenation

We only hyperventilate the patient as a short term treatment to decrease ICP. You want to keep this patient population well oxygenated (PaO2 80-120 mmHg). We are more focused on keeping the patient well oxygenated than we are focused on permissive hypercapnia.
