Q

IMV
1. How it works

3. Other info
4. Hazards

A
  1. Pt. is able to breathe spontaneously between machine breaths getting their own spontaneous Vt.

  3. Can be PC or VC Mode - IMV modes can also use PS to assist with spontaneous breaths
  4. Lack of coordination between mandatory and spontaneous breaths causes breath stacking

Q

CPAP
1. How it works
2. Trigger’s
3. Other info

Q

PSV
1. How it works
2. Trigger’s
3. Other info

A
  1. All breaths are spontaneous - Preset Pressure, Vt varies
  2. Trigger - Flow or Pressures
  3. Adjust to obtain Vt 5-7 ml/kg and RR < 28
17
Q

APRV
1. How it works
2. Trigger’s
3. Other info

A
  1. Breaths are spontaneous - uses 2 levels of PEEP. Pt. breaths spontaneously at high PEEP to recruit alveoli and improve oxygenation. The high PEEP is released periodically to a low PEEP. Low PEEP is < 1.5 sec and allows for CO2 removal
  2. Triggers - Flow or Pressures
  3. Used in ARDS
    a) HiPEEP - Set at previous Plat Pressure
    b) LPEEP - Set at 0
    c) HiPEEP - Set at Max 15 sec and Min 4 sec
    d) TLow - Set between 0.5 - 1.0 sec
18
Q

Dual Mode
Type: (1)

A
  1. PRVC
19
Q

PRVC
1. How it works
2. Trigger’s
3. Other info

A
  1. Vt is used as feedback mechanism to control the preset pressure control level
  2. Triggers - Time, Flow, Pressures
  3. Pressure will increase or decrease by 2 CMH2O to maintain Vt. If Vt is low, the machine will increase until Vt is achieved. Highest pressure can go is within 5 of HPL
