Vent material Flashcards
restriction
airway obstruction
fixed obstruction
variable intra thoracic obstruction
early airflow obstruction
variable extra thoracic obstruction
normal flow volume loop
spirogram
wright respirometer
3 types of dead space
what is I TIME
amount of time spent in inspiration
what is E time
amount of time spent in expiration
what is volume
the amount of tidal volume a patient recieves
what is pressure
measure of impedence to gas flow rate
what is flow
measure of rate at which gas is delivered
what is the ideal amount of tidal volume
6-8ml/kg of ideal body weight
when do you give lower TVs
ARDS or COPD or ASTHMA
what is PIP
peak inspiratory pressure
the highest level of pressure aplied to lungs in cm H2O
what is PIP limit
40 cmH2O
when can PIP be higher
ARDS
what should PIP be in masked or LMA patient
20 cmH2O
bc lower esophageal sphincter opens at >20cmH20
what triggers a ventilator to cycle inspiration
time
pressure
volume
flow
what is a normal peep level
5-8 cm h2o
what conditions require higher peep of 8-12 or 20 cm H2O
ARDS
what happens if PEEP exceeds 20 cm H20
severe lung damage
barotrauma
subq emphysema
pneumo
slope is a measure of
time
slope is how long it takes to reach a set
pressure
what is range of slope
0-2 seconds
a higher number slope is a more (gradual/steep) slope
gradual
what mode is slope important in
pressure support
if slope is longer than inspiratory time what is comprimised
TV
what is PIP- PEEP
delta P
pressure control is
preset
delivered Vt changes according to lung compliance
when the patient is spontaneously breathing, as the PIP is fixed, reduces pt discomfort
volume control is
volume is preset
delivered PIP varies based on pulm compliance and airway resistance
pt spontaneously breathing, PIP is variable, it will deliver a breath during asynchrony leading to increased work of breathing and discomfort
pressure vs volume waveforms
which vent mode provides guaranteed MV and is more comfortable for patients
volume control
which vent mode is not optimal for poorly compliant lungs
volume
which vent mode provides more support at lower PIP for poorly compliant lungs
pressure
which vent mode does not have a guaranteed MV
pressure
which vent mode do we use right before extubation
pressure support
which vent mode is pressure support but with a BACKUP rate
PSV-pro
which vent mode has madatory breaths (synchronized) and pressure support for spontaneous breaths
SIMV
what flow is diminished in COPD
expiratory
FEV1 is low
normal flow volume loop
COPD flow-volume loop
how does restrictive lung disease affect volume loop
residual volume is low
inspiratory volume (TLC)
FEV1 normal
peak exp flow normal
restrictive flow-volume loop
flow volume loop comparison
what would cause a pattern of expiratory flow-volume curve to be normal, but have a low inspiratory value
upper airway obstruction
what causes upper airway obstruction
paralysis of vocal cords
laryngospasms
thuyromegaly
tracheomalacia
what complication obstructs both inspiration and expiration
fixed intrathoracic or extrathoracic airway obstuctions
EX. tracheal stenosis, foregn body, neoplasm
what is a cause of post of bradypnea
opioid overdose
what is a cause of post op tachypnea
pain
as TV decreases, dead space____
increases
what must be set in VCV mode
TV
RR
I:E ratio
PIP is ____ related to lung compliance
inversely
what is set in PCV
peak airway pressure
RR
I:E ratio
what must be monitored closely in PCV
tidal volume
CO2
what is the amount of gas inspired or expired with each normal breath
Tidal Volume (TV)
what is the maximum amount of additional air that can be inspired from the end of a normal inspiration
inspiratory reserve volume
what is the maximum volume of additional air that can be expired from the end of a normal expiration
expiratory reserve volume
what is the volume of air remaining in the lung after a maximal expiration
residual volume
what s the only lung volume which cannot be measured with a spirometer
residual volume
what is the volume of air contained in the lungs at the end of a maximal inspiration
total lung capacity
what is the sum of the 4 basic lung volumes
TLC
IRV+TV+ERV+RV
what is the maximum volume of air that can be forcefully expelled from the lungs following a maximal inspiration
vital capacity
what is the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume
vital capacity
what is the formula for VC
IRV+TV+ERV= TLC-RV
