30
Flow-inflating bags
Mapleson system
31
Frequency-important note (HFOV)

33
Greater than 4 kg infant is sized with ?
4.0 mm endotube
34
Hazards of MV
•Infection •ETT and mechanical problems •Pulmonary oxygen toxicity •cardiac problems •increase ICP • auto peep, over inflation, pneumothorax •ventilator induced lung injury
35
Hazards of oxygen therapy
Hearing loss,n2 washout \*FIO2\*, Pulmonary oxygen toxicity \*PAO2\*, and Retinopathy of prematurity \*PaO2\*
36
How to initiate cpap?
•determine need •place on 5-6 cm h2O and appropriate fio2 •flow rate at 6-8 L/min • re-evaluate •cpap may be increased to 8 cm h2O •if minimal improvement, consider MV
37
How to place an endotube for an infant ?
•Solid black line on ETT is vocal cord marker •tip of the ETT should be at 1 cm above the carina •use of miller blade for 0-1 (for new borns)
38
How to prevent ROP ?
Delay birth, keep pao2 50-80, (sats 95%) ; use a short course of O2 therapy
39
How would you define a HFV ventilator?
Delivers more than 150 breaths per minute Oxygenation is controlled by MAP and Fi02
40
In HFJV what determines VT and CO2?
PIP
41
In HFOV what is directly influencing PaCO2?
Frequency is directly influencing PaCO2
42
Indications for HFJV?
•Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema •severe pulmonary air leak •diaphragmatic hernia •meconium aspiration •surfactant replacement •support of pts. With bronchopulmonary dysplasia •large and persistent bronchopleural fistula
43
MDI with mask
Ages less than 5 years of age
44
Neonatal considerations
•Low-flow flow meters •use of a blender •non- heated humidifiers may be used to humidity the gas
45
Notes for CPT
•May result in hypoxemia in some infants •t-burg may cause intracranial bleed in preemies •may use rubber adapters, masks, electric toothbrush and vibrators to preform therapy
46
Oxygen hood therapy (oxyhood)
•Maintains controlled environment of temperature, humidity and oxygen. •warmed, humidity oxygen should be delivered at a flow \>7 L/min •constantly monitor temperature and fio2 •may use with or without an isolette
47
Reasons for Retinopathy of prematurity
•unknown factors •increase PaO2, don't increase for suction..keep 83%-93% •duration of exposure to increase PaO2 •maturity at 36 weeks gestation
48
Ribavirin (virazole)
•An antiviral agent •used to treat RSV infections •administered as an aerosol using SPAG •is teratogenic
49
Weight formula for insertion depth
