Trouble Shooting & Settings Flashcards
Low pa02 <60 sa02 <90%
Increase fi02
Increase peep
Peep indications
Hypoxic resp failure
Pulmonary oedema
Internal stabilisation of chest
Contradictions to peep
Unilateral lung disease
Hyperinflation
Raised Icp
Untreated pnumo
Pressure waveform use
See Pressure vs time Type of ventilation Pressure Peaks Triggering of pt Adequacy or respiration
Flow waveforms
Square vs deselerating
Square: constant gas flow
Higher peak pressure
Shorter I time
Desal: slower gas flow
Improved gas distribution
Lower peak pressures
Alarm settings
Pmax - 5 above pip Low pressure - 10h20 Low peep - 2 cm below peep Low mv - 1.5l < pt vol Low tv - 150ml < Rr
Normal lung
F: 15 Tv: 6/kg Fio2: 1.0 I:e 1:2 Pmax 5 > pip Pip normal: 20-25 Peep 5 Simv vol
Obstructive
F: 6-10 Tv: 3-4/kg Fio2: 1.0 I:e 1:4-5 Pmax 5 > pip (max 40) Peep: no or low <5 Simv vol
Cvs risks
> ICP - > preload > after load > cardiac output
Compression of pulmonary vasculiter = > after load and decreased co
Renal risks
> ITP = deceased co, decreased bp and decreased perfusion to kidneys
> renal venous pressure - < perfusion, altered neuro hormonal systems, < Raas, < renal blood flow, < gfr, fluid retention and olguria
Neuro risks
> ITP = < cerebral drainage, > icp > co2 and vasodilation
Resp risks
Over inflation
Pneumothorax / baro trauma
Ali
Oxygen toxicity
Pneumonia
Muscle atrophy
Airway risks
Tracheal stenosis
Mouth trauma
Pressure ulcers
Over inflation trouble shoot
