Week2 Lectures Flashcards
Path and Micro
Name this tx for mechanical ventilation:
- P applied during all phases of respiratory cycle
CPAP (continuous pos pressure)
hint: tight mask; spont breathing
max P measured by ventilator during inspiration
PIP (Peak Inspatory Pressure)
P in the airways at end of expiration
PEEP (Peak End Expiratory Pressure)
Name the dvice/tx:
- pt breathes spont in bwn ventilator breaths
- support some/all breaths
SIMV (synchronized intermittent mechanical vent)
hint: pt-ventilator synchrony for comfort + help weaning
the following are conditions for ______ (controlled/normal) ventilation
- RR 8-10
- Tv 3-5cc/kg
- PIP < 35
controlled

Barotrauma can occur as a result of (3 dx)
- Pneumodmediastinum
- Pneumothorax
- Alveolar overdistension
the following are conditions for ______ (controlled/normal) ventilation
- RR = 12
- TV = 7cc/kg
normal

Explain how pH, PaCO2, and HCO3 change with the following dx’s (see pic)

answer below

What are pulmonary (4) and cardiac (2) complications for ventilation
see pic below

what should be added to the ventilation regimen when sedated pts can possibly still sense pain (2)?
- sedation: benzos/propafol
- pain: opiates/ketamine
Contraindications for ______ ventilation (NIV) -
- Coma
- ø airway protection (lethary, emesis, angioedma, mass, bleeding)
- Resp arrest
- Precipitous/Acute Instability
- pH < 7.20 rel to failure
non-invasive
explain the pathophysio behind failed CPAP tx
- = extrinsic PEEP + EPAP –> ↑alv recruitment + intrathoracic P
explain the pathophysio behind failed NIV/bilevel tx?
- P support from IPAP
- resting during inspiration (breaths should be triggered by pt?)
what are the 2 forms of Aorta Coarctation
- infantile: with PDA + tubal hypoplasia –> narrowing prox to arch
- adult: narrowing/infoldings distal to arch + branches
Name the dz
- males:females = 2:1
- 2 forms
- 50% involves bicuspid aortic valve
- assc w Turner’s Syndrome
- ± assc ASD+ VSD, aortic stenosis, mitral regurg, berry aneurysms
Coarctation of the Aorta
