Q

BiPAP has additional setting for RR:

what does this do?

A

Q

WHY does a pt. need Mechanical Ventilation?

4 reasons:

A
  1. Airway obstruction
  2. Pt unable to control oral secretions==Freq. aspirations
  3. NON-effective/NON-productive cough
    1. Inability to clear bronchial secretions
  4. Need for positive-pressure system

Q

PTs SHOULD DO Prio/During PT session AND document these components of Mech. Vent.

7:

A
    1. Mode of Ventilation
    1. FiO2==20.98 or ~21%
    1. PEEP (Positive End-Exp Pressure)
      * ​HOW MUCH CPAP provided– mmH2O
    1. RR –bpm
    1. Tidal Volume (VT) – mL
    1. Alarm settings
    1. Minute Ventilation (VE) –mL/min
      * ​VE==RR*TV
22
Q

MODE of Mech. Vent

23
Q

Mech. Ventilation MODES

Modes via Pressure-Control vs. Volume-Control

Talk about Volume-Controlled Mode:

A

Volume-Controlled Mode:

  • ​​Assist-Control (A/C or CMV)
    • ​SET volume for ea. breath
  • Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation or SIMV
24
Q

Mech. Ventilation MODES

Modes via Pressure-Control vs. Volume-Control

Talk about Pressure-Controlled Mode

A

Pressure-Controlled Mode:

  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or CPAP
  • Pressure Support Ventilation or PSV
    • COMMON
    • works on PRESSURE
      • ​INSP (+) pressure
25
Q

MODES of Mech. Vent

Modes via Controlled vs. Spontaneous

Talk about Controlled Modes

A

Controlled Modes:

  • Assist-Control (A/C or CMV)
26
Q

MODES of Mech. Vent

Modes via Controlled vs. Spontaneous

Talk about Spontaneous Modes

A

Spontaneous Modes:

  • Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation or SIMV —> VOLUME CONTROLLED
  • Continous Positive Airway Pressure or CPAP—> PRESSURE CONTROLLED
  • Pressure Support Ventilation or PSV —> PRESSURE CONTROLLED
27
Q

2 VOLUME CONTROLLED Modes:

A
  1. Assist-Control (A/C or CMV)
  2. Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation or SIMV–> Trauma Units
28
Q

Volume Controlled mech. vents

Assist-Control (A/C or CMV)

A
  • All breaths are Identical whether triggered by patient OR machine
  • Pt. can only trigger breath when it falls @ a HIGHER RR than pre-set
29
Q

Volume Controlled Mech. Vent

Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)

A
  • Machine pre-set lower RR w/ pre-set VT but when pt triggers a breath the pt controls EVERYTHING
  • partially spontaneous
    • This is your intermittent—synchronized to get a forced breath

* Pt controls some and machine controls some

30
Q

Pressure Controlled mech. vents

2 types:

A
  1. Continous Positive Airway Pressure CPAP
  2. Pressure Support Ventilation PSV
31
Q

Pressure Control Mech Vents

Continous Positive Airway Pressure CPAP

A
  • ONLY CPAP pressure is set
  • TOTALLY SPONTANEOUS
  • CPAP pressure is the same as PEEP used during other MV modes
32
Q

Pressure controlled MV

Pressure Support Ventilation

PSV

A
  • Provides Positive Pressure during INSP (iPAP) AND EXP (PEEP)
  • *Can be used in conjuction w/ SIMV

Tidal Volume (VT)

A
  • Be cognizant of pts Actual VT vs. Set VT
  • *IF pt unable to maintain VT’s AND desat’ing during PT—> HOLD further therapy and consult w/ MD’s and RT’s for possible changes in vent. settings
43
Q

Settings: Pre-set vs. Actual

Alarms

LOW Pressure vs. HIGH Pressure

Explain LOW PRESSURE

A
  • Pt disconnects, circuit leaks/airway leaks
44
Q

Settings: Pre-set vs. Actual

Alarms

Low Pressure vs. High Pressure

Explain HIGH PRESSURE

A
  • Pt coughs
  • Secretions in airways
  • Pt biting the tubing
  • DECd lung compliance
  • INC airway resistance
  • Bronchospasm
  • Pt fighting the vent

Q

PT Considerations w/ pts on Mech. Vents or Tubes

4 things (see pic):

A
  1. Set clear communication and expectations and provide TLC
  2. Inspect airways and note pos’s of ET tube @ START and END of ea. session
  3. Try not to pull it out! (*ESP the ET tube)
  4. If you are unable to monitor pt, the vitals, AND MV readings……ask nurse to help you
