Ventilation201 Flashcards
Respiratory Failure Type 1
Hypoxemia
-Sp02 <90%
-Pa02 <60mmHg
-PaC02 normal or below normal
-Most common
Respiratory Failure Type 2
Hypoxemia + Hypercapnia
-PaC02 >45mmHg
-Sp02 <90%, Pa02 <60mmHg
Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure Examples
Medulla dysfunction
Tox
Neuromuscular disease (Guillain-Barre, Myasthenia Graves, Polio, Spinal Injuries)
Chest wall/Pleural Diseases
Upper Airway Obstructions
Peripheral Airway Disorder (asthma, COPD)
Respiratory Failure Management
- Reverse & prevent hypoxemia
- Control PaC02 & acidosis
- Treat underlying disease
Calculate Complaince
Cstat= Vt

Plateau-PEEP
-Normal 50-7ml/cmH20
-Compliance describes the elastic property of the respiratory system
Calculate Resistance

Factors effecting rate of diffusion
Pressure gradient
Solubility coefficient
Membrane permeability
Membrane thickness
Surface area
Factors that increase PIP
Increased inspiratory flow
Increased set Vt
Increased airway resistance
Decreased lung compliance
Increased PEEP
Kinged, obstructed or misplaced ETT
Patient ‘fighting’ the ventilator
Coughing
If PIP >30
- Dope
- Ventilator Dysynchrony
- Inspiratory hold
What is PIP
Measure of resistive + elastic forces
Measured at the mouth
Reflects the amount of PRESSURE required to overcome airway resistance
What is an Inspiratory Hold
Assists in understanding why PIPs are elevated.
May be the result of an increase in airway resistance or a decrease in lung compliance.
What is an Inspiratory Hold
Assists in understanding why PIPs are elevated.

Permissive Hypercapnea Indications
Patients with ARDS managed with low tidal volume.
Patients ventilated for exacerbations of asthma or chronic lung disease who require low tidal volume and/or a low respiratory rate to minimize intrinsic PEEP.
Permissive Hypercapnea Contraindications
-Cerebral Disease
-CAD, Heart Failure, Cardiac Arrhythmias, Pulmonary HTN, Right Ventricular Disfunction (increases sympathomimetic output which would be poorly tolerated by patients who have cardiac disease)
-Hypovolemia (can induce systemic vasodilation)
