Unit 2: CPAP, BiPAP & Mechanical Vents Flashcards
CPAP and BiPAP are what kind of Pressure ?
what do they DO?
- PUSH air
- (+) Pressure—prevent collapse of bronchioles and alveoli
CPAP
the “C” stands for….
CONTINUOUS
*Inspiration ONLY
BiPAP
“Bi” stands for….
Biphasic
- 2x–> INSP and EXP pressure
- NOTE: APPLE shaped== abdomen weight==more likely CPAP
CPAP and BiPAP are _______pressure
Non-Invasive
CPAP and BiPAP
Goals:
- PREVENTS bronchial collaps
- Improves Gas exchange
- DECd work of breathing
- IMPROVES ventilation in V/Q matching
CPAP and BiPAP improves gas exchange
3 ways:
- INC FiO2 in residual volume
- Maintaining open alveoli
- Optimizing V/Q
How is CPAP delivered?
2 Ways
- Mask
- Tracheostomy Tube
CPAP
- Mask
explain
- Face mask CPAP machine
-
For:
- sleep apnea
- weak diaphragm
- *optimizing V/Q
CPAP
- Tracheostomy Tube
Explain…
- Tracheostomy CPAP setting on Ventilator
-
For:
- weaning FROM MV
- **> 2 hr CPAP wean w/ stable vitals (RR <30bpm) is a GOOD INDICATOR for weaning potential
CPAP
*Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Fun Facts
- ONLY 1 PRESSURE SETTING
- Continuous POSITIVE PRESSURE t/o breathing cycle
- SETTING: 5-25 CmH2O
- *DOES NOT have mandatory RR
BiPAP
Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure
2 Settings:
- INSP phase (iPAP)
- EXP phase (ePAP)
BiPAP
iPAP phase vs. ePAP phase
- iPAP is provided on ea. pt triggered breath FOLLOWED BY an ePAP
BiPAP Settings
iPAP vs. ePAP
-
iPAP
- == 4 to 30 cmH2O
-
ePAP
- == 2 to 20 cmH2O
*carry to mech. vent–> we want AS LOW AS POSS.–> less assist ==BETTER!!!
BiPAP has additional setting for RR:
what does this do?
- Machine forces breath if pre-set time passes w/ apnea
- Setting avg is 10-12 breaths per minute
Mechanical Ventilator is _______pressur support
INVASIVE
WHY does a pt. need Mechanical Ventilation?
4 reasons:
- Airway obstruction
- Pt unable to control oral secretions==Freq. aspirations
-
NON-effective/NON-productive cough
- Inability to clear bronchial secretions
- Need for positive-pressure system
HOW is Mech. Vent delivered?
3 Ways:
- Nasal Pharyngeal Tube
- SHORT-TERM
- Oral ET Tube
- Tracheostomy Tube (can have Cuffed adult trach. tubes)
-
Sx incision INTO trachea
- LONG-TERM 2-3d
-
