A

Generates more peak airway pressures

  • Gets breath in faster
  • Sometimes the faster the flow with higher pressures generates less MAP
  • more pressure generated in airways , circuit, and causes uneven ventilation

Q

Inspiratory Pause (plateau pressure)

A

Hold breath in lung for a set period of time at the end of a breath. Considered part of the Inspiratory phase (Ti)

  • Used to improve gas distribution and improve O2
  • Increases MAP causing more cardiac impairments

Q

Ti and how to shorten or lengthen

A

Vt/ Flow
To shorten= increase flow rate, use square waveform (increases Pk, use when airtrapping), or decrease Vt.
-Decreasing Vt is usually not a good option due to CO2 changes
To lengthen= Decrease flow rate, use ramp waveform

31
Q

Time triggered

A

breath starts when rate control determines, set time between breaths.
-Sometimes called control mode, if a patient is not assisting they are considered in control mode.

32
Q

Patient Triggered

A

Pressure triggered, Flow triggered

33
Q

Pressure triggered

A

Pt draws a breath creating a negative pressure,ventilator interprets this as an assist and gives the patient a breath (normally set from 0.5 to 2 cmH2O)

34
Q

Flow triggered

A

-first choice…
pt draws a breath from a continuous flow creatingless flow in the circuit. The ventilator interprets this as an assist and gives the patient a brea

35
Q

Limiting (between triggering and cycling)

A

Pressure limited, volume limited, flow limited

36
Q

Pressure Limited

A

during the breath a preset pressure can be reached but not exceeded, the breath will not end until the cycling mechanism is reached. (this is not the same as pressure alarm
-PCV

37
Q

Volume Limited

A

during a breath the volume may be limited by the mechanics of the ventilator, this does not end inspiration

38
Q

Flow limited

A

a maximum flow is reached and stays at that limit or less but does not cycle the breath off

  • Rise Time
  • With set flow pattern (flow, descending)
39
Q

Rise Time

A

the time it takes the breath to reach peak airway pressure, therefore the flow is adjusted by the vent to assure this is met. This is within the inspiratory time.
-Slow Rise time= Increase PIP, Fast= Air Hungry, go based off pts comfort. Helps synchronize

40
Q

Cycling (end of exp)

A

Volume Cycled, Time Cycled, Pressure Cycled, Flow Cycled

41
Q

Volume cycled

A

when a volume is reached the breath ends

42
Q

Time Cycled

A

-Most common

when a time is reached the breath ends

43
Q

Pressure Cycled

A

when a pressure is reached the breath ends

44
Q

Flow Cycled

A

when a preset flow is reached the breath ends.

45
Q

Inspiratory Cycle off

A

Inspiratory cycle off is a way to adjust the flow rate that ends the breath, this is often a preset/non-adjustable flow on many ventilator

  • 25%, hard for pt to get to 0 flow
  • Cut off too soon? increase RR
46
Q

Peak Flow Norm

A

40-60

47
Q

Baseline (expiration)

A

Zero pressure is atmospheric pressure. No added pressure.
Positive end expiratory pressure. Added pressure maintained during expiratory phase. This increases the FRC and is used to improve oxygenation. (raisesbaseline)

48
Q

Expiratory Hold/ Expiratory retard

A

Expiratory hold. Place the expiratory phase in the expiratory phase tocheck for autoPEEP. Used only as a test.
Expiratory retard. Mimics pursed lip breathing, slows the flow of air out of the airways preventing airtrapping

49
Q

Conditional Variables

A

Changes in types of breaths dependant on data. Such as a sigh being given at a predetermined time or a mandatory breath followed by a spontaneous breath in SIMV

50
Q

Relationship between flow, volume, and pressure

A

Pressure control breath, pressure is generated throughout the inspiratory phase. Volume and flow will vary dependent on lung characteristics.
Volume control breath, volume is delivered over a set period of time.
Pressures generated will vary dependent on lung characteristics.
Flow control breath, flow is generated at a steady rate over a set time, this delivers a volume.
Pressures generated will vary dependent on lung characteristic

51
Q

Types of Breaths

A 
Volume Breaths
-Flow limited time cycled
-Pressure Regulated Volume Control
Pressure Breaths
-Pressure limited time cycled
-Pressure limited flow cycled
Spontaneous
52
Q

Flow Limited Time Cycled Breaths

A

Volume breath

  • Machine delivers a set amount of flow over a set period of time to create a specific tidal volume. Pressure varies dependant of lung conditions.
  • These are the types of breaths on the Star and 7200 when in volume ventilation. These are also the types of breaths on the Servoiin the Volume Control mode, turning off Auto-flow on the Draeger
53
Q

Pressure Regulated Volume Control

A

Volume Breaths

  • The machine delivers a preset Vt by applying pressure which will adapt to the patient’s condition. The flow pattern and rate will be determined by the patient’s lung conditions.
  • These types of breaths are used in the PRVC breathand the Volume support mode on the Servoiand Auto-Flow on the Draeger
54
Q

Pressure Limited Time Cycled

A

Pressure Breath

  • The machine delivers a preset pressure for a set period of time. The lung conditions will determine flow pattern, flow rate, and volume
  • These breaths are pressure control mode
55
Q

Pressure Limited Flow Cycled

A

Pressure Breath

  • The machine applies a preset pressure to the patient’s lungs during inspiration. The breath will cycle off as the flow decelerates to a predetermined rate.
  • The flow pattern, flow rate, inspiratory time, and volume will all be determined by the patient’s lung conditions
  • These types of breaths are used in the Pressure Support Ventilation modes and Volume Support Ventilation

59
Q

AutoMode Breaths

A

Changes modes dependent on the patient’s need for assistance.
Volume Control ↔Volume Support

60
Q

Full Support Modes are used for pts that

A

Full Support modes are used for patients that cannot breathe on their own or have very little ability to breathe on their own. Seriously ill patients (pneumonia, ARDS), patients that need a rest (COPD/Asthma for 1stday or so), Apneic patients (post-op,neuromuscular disease that cause paralysis, drug induce

61
Q

A

Support modes are for patients that can breathe on their own but not adequately enough. Recovering patients (any of above as they get better), neuromuscular diseases (those that cause weakness), moderate respiratory failure (COPD, Asthma )

62

A

Spontaneous breathing used on the ventilator to determine if a patient can be extubate

63
Q

Volume Breaths are for pts that need to

A

Volume breaths are for patients that need to have assured minute ventilation. Most of our patients are on volume breaths

64
Q

Pressure Breaths are for patients that need

A

Pressure breaths are for patients that need to have limited pressure in the lungs. Usually patients with fragile lungs (ARDS, IRDS). There is no assurance of minute ventilation

65

A

CMV, AC, SIMV

66

can be a full support mode if the rate is set high enough to deliver adequate minute ventilation.

67

PSV can be used to

A

achieve large tidal volumes
-in some machines PSV is set via the CPAP mode(CPAP mode with PSV set), others CPAP is set via the PSV mode(PSV mode set at zero!

68
Q

Pressure support that is okay to extubate

A

6-7, enough to compensate art. airways

69
Q

If the change in volume remains consistent with varied resistance and compliance, and if the volume is not explicitly measured and used for control, the ventilator is classified as a

A

Flow Controller

70
Q

If pressure, volume, and flow are all dependent on system compliance and resistance, the ventilator is designated a

A

time controller

71
Q

In pressure control ventilation, a reduction in lung compliance results in increased tidal volume.
T/F

A

False
-A reduction in lung compliance will result in a reduction in volume, as pressure is independent. In accordance with the equation of motion, if a ventilator is a pressure controller, then pressure is determined by the ventilator settings and is unaffected by changes in compliance and resistance.
