Peep
Bipap
Positive end expiration pressure. Prevents alveolar to collapse. And promotes oxygenation.
Biap given to pt who don't need intubation but requir more Oxygen and give. Cpap. Continues positive airway pressure Used at night for apnea.
Peep increase intrthoracix pressure resulting in decrease in cardiac output while increasing the risk of barotrauma.

18
Water seal. Continuous bubbling shows and confirms Persistant air leak
Connected to the collection chamber. Allows air to pass down though narrow tubes and bubble out through the boron of water seal. Prevents air from retuning to the pt.
19

21
Check tube complications.
Air leak. Dislodgment and disconnection.
Subcutaneous emphysema. Collection of air leak or gas in the tissue under the skin.
Measure it and report to md. And documented.
Also by continuous bubbling in the water chamber. Bad. Bad. Bad.
22
Sources of air leaks.
