CMV

A

Continuous Mandatory Ventilation; Where all breaths are mandatory

  • is operated as volume control (VC-CMV) or pressure control (PC-CMV). Although every breath is mandatory, patients are capable of triggering a mandatory breath above the set rate.
  • Because CMV is considered a full support method of mechanical ventilation, it is rare that the rate is set so low that a patient would hypoventilate in the event of apnea.

  • pressure support (PS) can be applied to help overcome some of the work of breathing created by the artificial airway and the patient circuit.
  • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be set at minimal levels to prevent alveolar collapse and to improve oxygenation.

55

A

at a set rate.

56
Q

SIMV

A

Synchronized intermittent Mandatory Ventilation; synchronization of the mandatory breaths to the patient effort
-prevents excessive work of breathing that can be attributed to set levels of pressure, volume, or flow that fail to meet the patient’s inspiratory demands.

57
Q

The higher the levels of PS, the more

A

work of breathing is taken on by the ventilator.

58
Q

patient has primary control over the respiratory rate, inspiratory flow, and the inspiratory time.

A

CSV

59
Q

A patient on CMV is receiving a 450-mL tidal volume at a rate of 12 breaths per minute. If the patient triggers an additional breath it will be at a lower tidal volume compared to the set volume. T/F

A

FALSE. any patient-triggered breaths will be mandatory breaths delivered at the set level of tidal volume.

60
Q

During CSV, the patient determines the tidal volume and respiratory rate, but pressure support can be lowered to decrease the work of breathing. T/F

A

FALSE. the patient determines the tidal volume and respiratory rate, but pressure support is used to augment the tidal volume. Increases in pressure support decrease the work of breathing.

61
Q

Optimal Control

A

is an advanced form of adaptive control that utilizes an algorithm to optimize variables such as frequency and inspiratory pressure to achieve a ventilatory pattern that minimizes the work of breathing.

62
Q

Also known as assist control

A

CMV:and is often used to initiate mechanical ventilation and allow a patient’s inspiratory muscles to rest while the ventilation strategy seeks to maintain oxygenation and ventilation.

63
Q

CMV provides a set

A

volume or pressure and a minimum respiratory rate while also allowing the patient to trigger breaths as needed.

64
Q

CMV Disadvantages

A

Disadvantages include a high mean airway pressure, which may result in lung injury. In addition, if the patient triggers excessive mandatory breaths, they may hyperventilate and experience respiratory alkalosis due to low arterial carbon dioxide levels. This rapid triggering may also result in auto-PEEP.

65
Q

VC-CMV has the advantage of/ disadvantages

A
  • being one of the most common and thus most familiar modes of ventilation to many clinicians.
  • It allows for a constant tidal volume, even with changes in resistance and compliance. While a constant tidal volume is sometimes desirable, when resistance and compliance change, increased airway pressure can cause alveolar overdistension and barotrauma.
  • A fixed inspiratory flow that is set incorrectly may result in asynchrony between the patient and ventilator, increasing the work of breathing.
66
Q

PC-CMV has the advantage of / variable/disadvantages

A
  • controlling pressure and reducing the risk of alveolar overdistension in the event of reduced compliance.
  • The variable flow in PC-CMV may improve synchrony between the patient and the ventilator.
  • the major disadvantages of PC-CMV are that it is often the most unfamiliar mode of ventilation for many clinicians and that the tidal volume is variable, depending on compliance and resistance.
67
Q

SIMV is a form of

A

is a form of partial ventilatory support that provides either volume- or pressure-controlled breaths intermixed with spontaneous breaths. SIMV delivers mandatory breaths at a set rate with a given pressure or volume control.

68
Q

Patients can breathe in between mandatory breaths, and these spontaneous breaths may be augmented with pressure support to help overcome some of the resistance of the patient circuit.

A

SIMV

69
Q

SIMV is frequently used in/ advantages

A

weaning a patient from mechanical ventilation and postoperatively as a patient gradually comes out of anesthesia.
-Advantages: include the prevention of muscle atrophy and lower mean airway pressures than CMV.

70
Q

PSV

A

Pressure support ventilation; is a spontaneous breathing mode where a patient’s breathing is supplemented with a set pressure level during inspiration.

  • Because PSV is a spontaneous mode of ventilation, the patient determines the respiratory rate, inspiratory flow, and inspiratory time.
  • entirely dependent on pt
71
Q

CPAP

A

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure;ike PSV, is an entirely spontaneous mode of ventilation.

  • CPAP utilizes a clinician-set level of positive pressure to maintain alveolar recruitment.

73
Q

A

SIMV

75
Q

A

CMV-PC
-CMV-PC will provide full ventilatory support and control of the peak airway pressures, minimizing the risk of lung injury due to barotrauma.

76
Q

APC

A

Adaptive Pressure Control; is a dynamic mode of ventilation that allows delivery of a set tidal volume at the lowest possible inspiratory pressure. APC is one of the modes of mechanical ventilation that goes by varying names depending on the manufacturer, but the underlying mechanics remain the same.

Q

APC is also known as:

A 
Pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC)
AutoFlow
Adaptive pressure ventilation (APV)
Volume control plus (VC+)

78
Q

APRV

A

(BiVent) Airway pressure release ventilation; is a time-cycled, pressure-controlled modification of SIMV that allows the patient to breathe spontaneously throughout the set ventilator pressures. APRV allows the clinician to set two levels of pressure and the time in which the ventilator provides the two pressures.

  • PHigh/ low
  • Thigh/low

A

the degree of lung inflation and the time spent at this pressure is Thigh.

80
Q

The low pressure, P Low, influences

A

81
Q

In most instances, APRV is set up to achieve

A

nverse ratio ventilation, where the time spent in inspiration exceeds the time spent in expiration. This is done in an attempt to improve oxygenation and prevent derecruitment of alveoli.

A 
BiLevel
BiVent
BiPhasic
Pressure control ventilation plus (PCV+)
