Type I and Type II resp failure Flashcards
What part of respiration is there a problme with in Type I resp failure? What structures?
Exchange
Alveolar membrane
Pulmonary vasculature
Cellular level
Eg fluid on lungs
How do yuo treat Type I resp faillure?
Increase pO2 with high flow oxygen (see NICE guidelines for more guidance)
What is the problem based on in Type II resp failure?
Ventilation
CO2 no longer being exchanged
Builds up
Treatment Type II resp failure
Controlled O2
88-92%
NIV-CPAP
Causes Type I resp failure
pneumonia
Fibrosis
COVID
Aspiration
Pulmonary emboli
HF
Other infections
Asthma
Type II resp failure causes
COPD
Obesity
Neurological disorders
Scoliosis
Sedatives - opiates, benzodiazapines
Severe pneumonia/pulm oedema/asthma -> tiring
What is the FiO2 of healthy people?
11 Kpa
How do you wokr out FiO2 for % O2 patient is on?
-10
eg if on 40% O2, 30% FiO2
What is the difference Type 1 and Tyoe 2 resp failure?
Type 1 = hypoxia
Type 2 = hypoxia and hypercapnia
What is an example of a thiazide like diuretic?
Endapamide
Parameters for hypoxia
PaO2 <8.0kPa
Parameters for hypercapnia
PaC02 >6.0kPa
If patient receiving supplemental oxygen, how much less should pO2 be than Fi02?
10kPa
Examples of causes of type I resp failure
Pneumonia
Fibrosis
COVID
Aspiration
Pulmonary emboli
HF
Other infections
Asthma
Type II
COPD
obesity
Neurological disorders
Scolisosi
Sedatives
Severe pneumonia/pulmonary oedema/asthma - tiring
