Q

How many types of respiration exist, and the different between them?

A
  1. External Respiration: It happens in the Lungs,**O2 moves from the alveoli into the blood stream, and CO2 moves from Blood stream into the alveoli.
  2. Internal Respiration: It happens in the cells, CO2 moves from the cells into the blood, and oxygen moves from the blood into the cells

Q

Normal Inspiration consist of:

A

Inspiration occurs when inspiratory muscles contract.

  1. Diaphragm decends, size of the thorax enlarges vertical
  2. External Intercostal muscles contracts and rise the ribs slightly, thorax cincurference increases.

Q

Does Normal Exhalation require any muscles activity? Why.

A

No, because is a passive activity (Not WOB), does not riquire any muscle effort (muscles relax).

Q

What is the relation between Gas Flow and Pressure gradient?

A

Pressure Gradient is necesary for Air to Flow through the Airway, pressure at one ends must be higher than the other ends. ( Air always moves from hight pressure to low pressure)

Q

On Spontaneous Breathing During Inspiration, Intrapulmonary pressure will be Positive or Negative?

A

Negative, (during inspiration Intrapulmonary Pressure decreases but increases in volume, alowing air to move into the Lung from the atmosphere)

  • Ribs moves up
  • Diaphragm flattens
  • Volume chest increases

Q

What is Mechanical Ventilation?

A

Is the artificial inflation of lungs by an external, mechanical device.

28
Q

How Mechanical Ventilation operates?

A

It operates by creating negative or positive pressure.

29
Q

Advantages of Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV)

A
  • Upper Arway can be maintained without the use of endotracheal or tracheostomy tube.
  • Patient can talk.
  • Fewer physiological disadvantages than positive pressure.
30
Q

Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV) Disadvantages

A
  1. Decrease accessibility to the patient.
  2. Abdominal pooling.
  3. Decrease venous return, cardiact output, systemic blood pressure (hypotention) tank shock.
31
Q

NPV have primarily been replaced by :

A

Positive Pressure Ventilators that use mask, nasal device, endotracheal or tracheostomy tube.

32
Q

Is a device that puches air into the patient’s lungs through an endotracheal tube mask?

A

Positive pressure Ventilation (PPV)

33
Q

PPV Graphic, iniciation and ends

A
  • Here On Inhalation, Intrapulmonary pressure starts at 0 base line and ends up on the positive side
  • On Inhalation, Intrapleural Pressure starts on the negative side but it ends up on the possitive side
  • Now on Exhalation, Intrapulmonary Pressure starts on the positive side and ends up on zero base line.
  • So does Intrapleural pressure but this one ends up on the negative side
34
Q

Identify Spontaneous Inhalation and Exhalation Graphics

A
  • Here on Inhalation Intrapulmonary Pressure starts on zero base line,making an slightly negative curve finishing on zero base line.
  • Also on inhalation, Intrapleural Pressure starts on the negative side, increasing during inhalation finishing even more negative.
  • Now on Exhalation, Intrapulmonary Pressure, starts on zero base line making slightly positive curve, finishing on zero base lane.
  • On exhalation Intrapleural Pressure, starts on negative side, decresng slightly during exhalation to ends up less negative.
35
Q

What is base line Pressure?

A

Is the pressure in the airway when the patient is not breathing, usually is zero.

36
Q

What is PIP

A

Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is the highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation.

37
Q

What is Plateau Pressure?

A

Is the amount of pressure require to stretch the alveoli

38
Q

If Plateau pressure represent Lung Compiance then, What represent PIP?

A

PIP represent Lung Compliance and Airway Resistant.

39
Q

What ventilator device allows spontaneous breathing.

40
Q

PEEP vs CPAP

A
  • PEEP increase atmosphere pressure on exhalation preventing normal exhalation
  • CPAP is an spontaneous breathing device that increase pressure on inspiration
41
Q

What is Peak Pressure?

A
  • Is the hieght pressure recored at the end of inspiration (PIP)
  • It is the sum of two pressures (pressure requires to force gas through the resistance of airways, and pressure require to fill alveoli)
42
Q

When Plateau Pressure is measured?

A

It’s measured after breath has been delivered and before exhalation begins.

43
Q

The diference between Plateau and PIP pressure is?

A

Transairway pressure

PTA = PIP-PPLAT

44
Q

What is Auto PEEP (Intrinsic PEEP, occult PEEP)

A

Is air trapping, it happen when the patient does not have enough time to exhale because of breathing too fast.

45
Q

How we fix Auto PEEP?

A
  • Increasing Expiratory Time
  • Decreasing RR (but this will affect VE)
  • ↑ Flow
  • ↓ Inspiratory Time
46
Q

How we get Dynamic Compliance? (matematically)

A

CD= VT/(PIP-PEEP)

VT 500ml, PIP 30cm H2O, PPLAT 25 cm H2O, PEEP 5 cm HO.

CD = 500/(30-5)

CD = 500/25

CD = 20ml

47
Q

How we get Static Compliance (matematically)

A

CS=VT/PPLAT-PEEP

VT500, PIP 30cm H20, PPLAT 25 cm H2O, PEEP 5 cm H2O.

CS = 500ml/ (25 cmH2O - 5 cm H2O)

CS = 500ml/ 20cmH2O

CS = 25ml

48
Q

How we fix Ventilatory failure (Hypoventilation) in a ventilator?

A

By:

  • Increasing Vt
  • Increasing RR
49
Q

How we fix Hypoxemia in a ventilator?

A

By:

  • Increasing Airway Pressure ↑PEEP (pressure makes lung bigger creating more suface for gas Exchange)
  • ↑FiO2 Giving more Oxygen
50
Q

How we fix Hyperventilation on a patient that is on a Ventilator?

A

By:

  • Decresing Tidal Volume (Vt)
  • Decreasing RR
51
Q

Disadvantages of Positive PressureVentilation:

A

Multi-System Effects:

  1. Renal System
  2. GIS
  3. Hepatic System
  4. Cardiovascular System
  5. Neurological Sysem
  6. Respiratory System

Most important factor is decreased Cardiac Output

52
Q

What will happen to a patient when Plateau Pressure is over 30 cm H2O?

A

Increase patient’s risk for Ventilator induced Lung Injury

53
Q

What pressure is necesary for gas flow to get inito the Lungs?

A

Transairway pressure

(PTA= PIP - P<span>PLAT</span>)

We get Transairway Pressure By substructing Airway Pressure from Alveolar Pressure (PA)

54
Q

Transairway Pressure more than 10 cm H2O means?

A

Airway Resistant

55
Q

How we get Airway Resistant?

A

RWA = PTA/Flow

(PTA = PIP-PLAT)

Normal Values:

  • Normal: 0.6 - 2.4 cm H2O.(Spontaneous)
  • Intubated: >6 cm H2O
56
Q

Are these condictions asociated with PIP or Plateau pressure

  • Bronchospasm
  • Retained secretions
  • Mucous plug
  • ETT tip occlusion
A

PIP pressure, because they are Airway Issues

(Airway resistance)

57
Q

Are these condictions related to PIP or Plateau pressure and why?

  • Pneumothorax
  • Pulmonary edema
  • ARDS
  • Pneumonia.
A

Plateau Pressure, because all these issues compliance is there problem.

58
Q

What has to happen for gas to Flow in the Lungs?

A

Pressure in the alveoli must be lower than the pressure in the mouth and nose (Pressure Gradient)

59
Q

Exhalation is a passive process but, what happen when a patient starts using accesory muscles to exhale?

A

Most likely the patient have an obstructive problem. When this happened, airways narrowed producing air trapping.

60
Q

What will affect inspiration, Decreased Lung Compliance or Airway Resistance?

A

Decrease Lung Compliance.

61
Q

What will affect expiration, Lung compliance or Airway Resistance?

A

Airway Resistance.

62
Q

How NPV Graph look like?

63
Q

This is call?

A

Chest Cuirass

64
Q

This is?

A

Iron Lung.

It’s a negative chamber.

65
Q

What is PIP?

A

It’s the heights pressure in the lung during inspiration

66
Q

Obstructive Diseases affects the Airway Or Lungs?

A

The Airway, because ↑ resistance to gas flow

67
Q

Restrictive Diseases affects Airway or Lungs?

A

The lungs, Because restriction will make lung difficult to expand normally.
