Test 3 Flashcards
CPAP
Spontaneous ventilation with positive pressure applied to the airway throughout the respiratory cycle. Treat oxygenation failure not ventilation
Physiological effects of CPAP
Increase FRC, Increase Compliance, Decrease total airway resistance, decrease RR-> decrease WOB, Decrease intrapulmonary shunting (by opening alveoli
FRC
Forced residual capacity - normal breathing (decrease when alveoli collapse)
Indications in neonates for CPAP
- PaO2 < 50 on FiO2 60% or more with adequate ventilation
- Premature infants
- Apnea of prematurity (tx with caffeine too)
- Obstructive airway disease
- Pneumonia
- Meconium
- CHF/ Pulmonary edema
- TTN
- Paralysis of diaphragm
Contraindications of CPAP
PaCO2 >60 and pH <7.25 (not vent. adequately
- Upper airway abnormalities (cleft)
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- Neuromuscular disease, CNS Depression
- Central or frequent apnea
Hazards and complications of CPAP
- decrease CO
- Decrease renal function
- Increase ICP
- Barotrauma
Nasal CPAP may result in
nasal obstruction or necrosis and gastric distension- can go into esophagus
example of nasopharyngeal tubes
LMA
CPAP generators
Flow system
stand alone CPAP machines
Mechanical vent-enough flow (flowmeter/generator)
*important to have manometer in line
CPAP has failed if
- PaO2 < 50 and FiO2 0.8-1.0
- CPAP > 8-12
- pH > 7.25
- Marked retractions/ nasal flaring/ retractions on CPAP: wob
- Frequent apnea
Weaning from CPAP
Patient with clinical improvement
- decrease FiO2 to 0.4-0.6
- decreased CPAP by 2cmH2O increments as tolerated by pulse ox or ABGs
- At CPAP of 2-3 cmH2O extubate
SiPAP
similar to APRV -Spontaneous breathing at two levels -Not synchronized -Sigh Breath Ti 1-3 seconds Rate sets how often Breaths spontaneously through Ti 2-3 cmH2O above baseline Recruits alveoli
Indications for BiPAP
Increased WOB (HIGHER RR, RETRACTIONS, PARADOXICAL BREATHING) Hypoventilation (INCREASED CO2 AND LOW PH) Airway obstruction (OSA, STRUCTURAL ABNORMALITIES)
BiPAP ventilators
Pressure Targeted-typical non-invasive vent. , IPAP and EPAP
Volume Targeted- Becoming more common on NIV, Can use volume vent via mask (dont wean)
Negative Pressure- Usually for chronic disease, not used much anymore
Contraindications of BiPAP
Cardiovascular instability Nasopharyngeal obstruction Hemoptysis (frank amnts of blood coughed up) Lots of oral secretions Agitation/anxiety Apnea Inability to maintain airway
Indications for MV of the neonate and ped pt
-Hypoxic Resp Failure
PaO2 <50 on an FiO2 > 60% despite the use of CPAP
PaCO2 <30 and pH >7.25
Nasal flaring, grunting, retractions
-Hypercapnic Resp Failure (dont vent adequately)
PaCO2 > 50 and pH <7.25
Apneic, listless, cyanotic, brandy or tachy
-Mixed also possible
-reversible problem exists
Causes of Mixed respiratory failure
Neurological alteration, Impaired resp function, impaired cardiovascular function, Post op
Most common mode for neonates
Pressure control ventilation
- time cycled, pressure limited
- peak pressure set
- vairable flow
- set Ti
- set rate
- PEEP
- No direct control of Vt
Traditional ventilation for adults
Volume ventilation
- set Vt
- Set flow unless in PRVC
- Set Ti
- Set rate
- No control over peak pressures
- More susceptible to volume lost to tubing
- PRVC and VAPS TWO TYPES OF NEW BREATHS (listed under dual control)
Dual control
PRVC and VAPS
Triggering, sensors at airway add deadspace and weight
- flow
- pressure
- motion, detects chest/ abdominal movement
- neural detects diaphragm signals
Pressure-Flow Relationship
Not usually measured
But increase in Raw will decrease Vt
Factors that cause increase Raw:
-Bronchospasm (bronchodilator)
-Airway secretions (suction)
-Inflammation (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory)
-Artificial airways (use largest possible)
Setting the vent: mode (infant)
Cpap if oxygenation only problem (PaCO2 <40)
Low SIMV if spontaneous breathing (PaCO2 < 50)
High SIMV or CMV if retaining CO2 (PaCO2 >50)
High frequency vent if no relief with above
(or surfactant replacement therapy, NO administration, ECMO)
Setting the vent : mode (peds)
Much like adult only smaller Vt (6-8)
CPAP if adequate CO2 (PaCO2 < 40)
SIMV low rates if some breathing
SIMV high rates or CMV if need more support
Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP, PAP, Pmax, etc)
Neonate 15-20cmH2O check for beaking and adjust setting
-pediatric set to achieve desired vt
Set rate
Neonate: start 40-60
term: start 25-40
pediatric: set to achieve desired Co2
Set PEEP
start 5cmH2O
Set FiO2
Neonate: keep baby pink, use TCM or Pox to keep within normal limits
Pediatric: PaO2 and or SpO2 normal limits, 100% if need for short times
