Q

Formula for calculating RAW

RAW = (PIP – Pplateau) ÷ inspiratory flow rate

32
Q

Normal RAW in intubated patients

A

(5 to 10 cm H2O/L/sec)

33
Q

(RAW) is the difference between ___ and ___

A

(PIP) and (Pplateau).

34
Q

What increases RAW?

A

Bronchospasm, increased secretions, mucosal edema, mucus plugging, (ETT) occlusion

35
Q

Calculate the RAW given the following:

FIO2: .60
Peak Pressure: 38
Vt: 600
Flow: 40 LPM
Rate: 12
Pplat: 29
PEEP: 5

A

First convert flow:

40 LPM/60 = .67 L/sec

PIP-Pplat/Flow: 38-29/.67 = 13.43

36
Q

Formula for static compliance

A

(CST) = VT ÷ (Pplateau – PEEP).

37
Q

Normal static compliance for nonintubated patients

A

60 to 100 mL/cm H2O.

38
Q

Normal static compliance for intubated patients

A

40 to 60 mL/cm H2O.

39
Q

____ is determined by the patients lung compliance and thoracic or chest wall compliance.

A

Static compliance

40
Q

What will decrease lung compliance

A

Atelectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, (ARDS), and pulmonary fibrosis

41
Q

Will cause decreased thoracic compliance

A

Thoracic cage deformities, ascites, obesity, and pregnancy

42
Q

During volume ventilation, how is the (PIP) affected by a decrease in compliance

A

the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) will increase

43
Q

During volume ventilation, how is the (PIP affected by an increase in airway resistance?

A

an increase in airway resistance will directly cause the Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) to increase

44
Q

With an increase in (RAW), how is the (PIP- Pplateau) difference affected?

A

An increase in airway resistance (Raw) will result in a higher than expected difference between the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and plateau pressure (Pplateau)

45
Q

How is the (Pplateau) affected by a decrease in compliance?

A

When compliance decreases, the plateau pressure will increase

46
Q

Simplified alveolar air equation

A

47
Q

What is the (PAO2) of a patient breathing (60% oxygen), with a (PaCO2) of (45 mm Hg) at a (PB) of (760 mm Hg)?

A

PAO2 = 427.8 - 56
PAO2 = 371.8

(Normal value is 100)

48
Q

62
Q

Effects of mechanical ventilation on the pulmonary system

A

Support tissue oxygenation and removal of carbon dioxide without causing additional trauma

◦Ventilating chronic (CO2) retainers to achieve a normal (CO2) may result in unwanted alkalosis.

◦(FiO2) to (0.70) within two days, (0.50) or less within five days

Limit use of (100%) oxygen to less than (24h) to avoid oxygen toxicity, absorption atelectasis, ventilation depression in chronic (CO2) retainers, and retinopathy of prematurity in neonates.

63
Q

Effects of mechanical ventilation on the immune system

A

triggers activation of the inflammatory cascade.

Patients who receive large tidal volume ventilation and low (PEEP) have higher concentrations of inflammatory mediators

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a form of hospital acquired pneumonia which develops (48 hours) or more after the initiation of mechanical ventilation.

Clinical findings often include a new or progressive lung infiltrate on imaging, fever, purulent sputum, leukocytosis, and deteriorating oxygenation status
