Q
Respiratory failure is divided into two major categories, each of which includes many different diseases and conditions that can lead to respiratory failure.
A
- Type 1 Respiratory failure: Hypoxemic Resp Failure
- Type II Respiratory failure: Hypercapnic Resp Failure
18
Q
Hypoxemic Resp Failure
A
involves inadequate blood oxygenation and low to normal levels of carbon dioxide. (oxygenation failure)
19
Q
Hypercapnic Resp Failure
A
involves inadequate blood oxygenation with high levels of carbon dioxide. This condition is also referred to as ventilatory failure.
20
Q
These four broad conditions are considered the primary indicators for mechanical ventilation:
A
- Apnea
- Acute ventilatory failure
- Impending ventilatory failure
- Severe oxygenation defect
21
Q
Various VAP prevention strategies include:
A
- Elevating the head of the bed
- Frequent oral care
- Careful management of the airway cuff pressure
- Limiting circuit changes to an as-needed basis
- Use of specially designed antimicrobial endotracheal tubes
22
Q
Control Variable
A
which is pressure or volume
- is the designated independent variable between pressure, volume, and flow as they relate to the equation of motion.
- If volume is the designated control variable, the shape of the pressure waveform is dependent on the volume setting and the resistance and compliance of the respiratory system. Volume is constant and pressure varies.
23
Q
Breath Sequence
A
which is a pattern of mandatory or spontaneous breaths
24
Q
targeting scheme
A
Which is the feedback control scheme used to shape the breath and determine the breathing sequence
25
Breath sequence can be subdivided into three categories:
- Continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV), where all breaths are mandatory
- Intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV), where breaths can be mandatory or spontaneous
- Continuous spontaneous ventilation (CSV), where all breaths are spontaneous
26
Ms. Garcia's illness has improved dramatically over the past few days and her doctor wants to determine how she may breathe if the ventilator is discontinued. Which mode of ventilation is most appropriate for the given situation?
PSV
| -PSV is a purely spontaneous mode that will allow evaluation of the patient's tidal volume and respiratory rate.
27
PRVC
Adaptive Pressure Control; is a dynamic mode of ventilation that allows delivery of a set tidal volume at the lowest possible inspiratory pressure. APC is one of the modes of mechanical ventilation that goes by varying names depending on the manufacturer, but the underlying mechanics remain the same.
-A desired tidal volume is set; the ventilator monitors and adjusts the airway pressure needed to deliver the target volume.
28
APRV
(BiVent) Airway pressure release ventilation; is a time-cycled, pressure-controlled modification of SIMV that allows the patient to breathe spontaneously throughout the set ventilator pressures. APRV allows the clinician to set two levels of pressure and the time in which the ventilator provides the two pressures.
- PHigh/ low
- Thigh/low
29
The high pressure, Phigh, influences
the degree of lung inflation and the time spent at this pressure is Thigh.
30
The low pressure, P Low, influences
The level and duration of lung deflation is determined by the low-pressure setting, Plow, and the release time, termed Tlow.
31
During PRVC ventilation, pressure is the target variable. T/F
FALSE.
-a desired tidal volume is set and the ventilator monitors and adjusts the airway pressure needed to deliver the target volume.

34
Breath sequence
Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (CMV)- all mandatory,
Intermittent Mandatory Vent. (IMV)- Both,
Continuous Spontaneous Vent (CSV)- all spontaneous
35
Acute ventilatory failure can be the result of
respiratory muscule dysfunction, excessive ventilatory load, impaired ventilatory drive, or dysfunctions of the lung parenchyma affecting gas exchange
36
Impending Ventilatory Failure based on
patient presentation and clinical judgement.
-known factors such as hx of pulmonary disease and acute physical manifestations such as increased WOB, Decreasing OX and or ventilation, and progressive worsening of symptoms such as dyspnea, may lead to clinician to suspect the acute vent failure is close at hand
37
PIP
Peak inspiratory Pressure, highest level of pressure applied to lungs during inhalation
38
Factors that impact PIP during VC ventilation
-Peak inspiratory flow setting
-Inspiratory flow pattern
-Auto-PEEP
-Tidal Volume
-Resistance
-Compliance
A higher set peak inspiratory flow results in higher PIP
--The decelerating flow pattern is associated with lower PIP
39
driving pressure
difference between PIP and PEEP
40
Higher levels of PEEP may be required in pts with serious oxygenation defects as seen with
ARDS and ALI, in order to maintain oxygenation, also useful in overcoming the breath triggering problems associated with auto PEEP
41
Gas distribution is better with what waveform
decelerating, there also may be improvements in synchrony between pt and vent
42
During positive control ventilation, which alarms can alert the clinician to changes in respiratory mechanics?
- High and Low Vt
- during pressure control, volume is variable and dependent on the pressure setting and respiratory system mechanics. Changes such as decreased compliance can be detected with low Vt alarms and improved compliance with a high Vt alarm.
43
Ventilation strategies for obstructive lung disease include
using a Vt low enough to maintain a Pplat of less than 30 cm H2O, usually in the range of 6 mL/kg of PBW.
- RR is used to normalize the pH as much as possible, but high rates- air trapping, inadequate exp time= hypercapnia
- I time is set as low as possible to maximize exp time and reduce auto peep
- FiO2 is titrated to the lowest level possible to maintain acceptable oxygenation
44
Acceptable oxygenation in obstructive lung disease may be
- SpO2 greater than 88%
| - PaO2 greater than 55 mm Hg
45
Settings that need to be ordered
Mode, Tidal volume or pressure set, rate, FiO2, PSV, and PEEP
46
triggering settings
Set as sensitive as possible
- Pressure: -0.5 to 2.0
- Flow: 2-3 below base flow (default)
47
Vt equation
Ti x flow
48
flow patterns
Square, descending ramp, ascending ramp, and sine
-Square shortest
Less effects on the heart
Higher peak pressure
-Descending ramp
Longer Ti
better gas distribution improving oxygenation
Higher mean airway pressure causing more cardiac impairment
49
Inspiratory cycle off
Used to help end a PSV breath
-swine wave
Either a percentage or a set flow rate
Makes it easier to end the breath so pt does not have to go to zero flow before the pressure is released
50
Inspiratory pause
Used to improve gas distribution and improve oxygenation
- Increases mean airway pressure causing more cardiac impairment
- Temp for determining lung compliance and airway resistance
- Set for 0.5 seconds for three breaths
- average number
- remember to turn off if not automatic
- remember it can affect cardiac output
51
Normal lungs (Post Op, Neuro-muscular, CNS, Etc) vent settings
A/C or SIMV
- Vt volume type breaths 6-10 ml/kg IBW
- RR to obtain desired Minute Ventilation
- Insp Flow/Ti: 60 Lpm or Ti 1 sec (longer=improve O2)
- FiO2 should be below 0.50 but is very pt dependant
- PEEP start at 3-5
52
Obstructive airway disease, invasive management
A/C or SIMV (SIMV preferred)
- Vt volume type breaths 6ml/kg IBW
- RR 10-12 , so they can spontaneously breathe in between
- Insp flow/ Ti: 60-100LPM or Ti <1 sec, try to keep E time long to reduce airtrapping
- FiO2 should be lowest possible to maintain SpO2 in low 90s
- PEEP to match auto-PEEP
53
How do you measure lung disease
FEV1
54
BE
Base Excess: represents the amount of an acid required to return pH to normal levels
Norm ranges -2 to 2
55
BD
Base Deficit represents the amount of a base required to return pH to normal levels.
56
SaO2
is a measure of the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen in arterial blood; it is a more accurate depiction of oxygenation than the noninvasive Spo2 provided through pulse oximetry.
57
Flow Volume Loop
help identify asynchrony
| -also be used to evaluate the degree of airway obstruction and the response to a bronchodilator medication.
58
One of the main causes of oxygenation defects is
V/Q mismatch
59
Factors that contribute to Paw (MAP) during mech. ventilation, including
PIP
PEEP
I:E ratio
Flow
60
With a current Paco2 of 56 mm Hg and a RR of 16 bpm, we are close to the patient's normal value, but the pH remains acidic. In an attempt to correct it, we can estimate what the Paco2 will be if we increase the RR to 18 bpm.
Current PaCO2 x Set RR = changed RR x X
56 x 16 = 18 x X
896 = 18x
x = 49.7
61
While a Pao2 of 110 mm Hg is great by most standards, remember that the patient is on 100% Fio2. We need to wean Fio2 as soon as possible, but we do not want the patient's oxygenation to fall below acceptable standards. We can predict how much Fio2 is needed to obtain our minimum standard of a Pao2 of 55 mmHg.
Current PaO2/ Current FiO2 = Desired PaO2/ x
110/ 100% = 55/ x
110 x 55/ 100 = x
x = 60.5 or 60% FiO2

A.Increased O2
B. Electrolyte imbalance
C. Use of assist control (AC) mode of ventilation
D. Use of synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) mode

83
respiratory load
is the WOB imposed on the respiratory muscles. Several different factors contribute to an increased respiratory load, which may prevent or otherwise make weaning from mechanical ventilation difficult.
- Minute ventilation
- Increased Resistance load
- Increased Elastic load
84
Strategies to minimize the respiratory load during and after mechanical ventilation include:
- Use of medications to treat pain, anxiety, and bronchospasm to reduce the need for high a V̇e
- Nutritional approaches that minimize the amount of excess carbon dioxide production
- Secretion clearance therapy and airway suctioning to reduce airway resistance
- Use of pressure support to provide gradually decreasing levels of ventilatory support

- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with gradual reductions in pressure support
- Disconnection from the ventilator and application of a T piece connected to a large-volume nebulizer with supplemental oxygen and cool or warmed aerosol

NIV
is a means of providing ventilatory support without an artificial airway, and it can be provided through both positive and negative pressure.
104
General guidelines suggest that if a patient fails to demonstrate improvement within what on NIV
Module says 1-2 hours, cindy says .5-1 hour NIV initiation, alternatives should be considered
105
Indicators for NIV, first line therapy for several conditions
- COPD Exacerbation
- Acute Cardiogenic pulmonary Edema: CHF
- Resp Failure following transplantation
- Resp failure following lung resection
106
Strongest indicators for the use of NIV, which is a first line therapy and standard of care in this population
Acute worsening of COPD
107
Potential Contraindications of NIV, where the evidence doesnt support or is inconclusive regarding the use of NIV
- Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (ALI, ARDS)
- Asthma (unclear)
- Pts with do not intubate or do not resuscitate orders
- Failed extubation
108
NIV has been used successfully in the chronic care setting to treat chronic respiratory failure due to
restrictive lung disease, Stable COPD, and nocturnal hypoventilation, Chronic Respiratory Failure
-Full time use of NIV in the chronic care setting is most common in pts with chronic resp failure secondary to neuromuscular disease. Can serve as an alternative to tracheostomy
109
Which of the following are reasonable goals of NIV in the chronic care setting?
A. Reverse Disease condition
B. Prevent decreases in PaO2 while sleeping
C. Eliminate morning headache
D. Decrease Fatigue
E. Decrease PaCO2
B, C, D, E
110
For Critical Care vents, pressure
PSV is applied as additional pressure above the PEEP
111
In bilevel vents, pressure
IPAP and EPAP are set, with the difference between two designating the level of PS
112
ramp
More often found on machines used in the chronic care setting, ramp allows the positive pressure to increase gradually over a set delay-time control.
113
hypopnea
reduction in airflow associated with lower than normal rates of breathing
114
Most home CPAP machines can deliver pressures ranging from
3 to 20 cm H2O, with pressure titrated to the level needed to minimize apnea and hypopnea.
115
systems add heat and moisture to the inspired gas, reducing drying of the mucosa and improving patient comfort and compliance. NIV
passover type heated humidity
116
Ve and Va
Minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation, the main factors that facilitate the rate of removal of Carbon Dioxide from the blood
117
Alveolar Ventilation
determines the true amount of gas that reaches the alveoli to participate in gas exchange. It also controls for the amount lost through factors such as dead space and , if mechanically ventilated, the amount of compressible volume
118
Deadspace is defined as
areas of ventilation where there is no perfusion of blood to promote gas exchange.
-An example of this is the volume of air that remains in the conducted airways that never reaches the alveoli for gas exchange
119
Anatomical deadspace, and VA
Anatomical deadspace is estimated as 1ml/ilb of predicted body weight
- Va can be estimated as: (Vt- deadspace volume) x RR
- Excessive tubing or various adapters that are added to the vent circuit further increase the deadspace volume, impacting the Va
120
VILI
is the result of overdistention of the alveoli
121
Commonly measured pressures in lungs include
PIP
Pplat
PEEP
AutoPEEP
122
increases and decreases compliance?
- Elastance of the lung
- Obstructive diseases such as Emphysema increases the cl
- Restrictive diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis decreases it
123
Two points that can assist in setting PEEP and targeting a Pplat threshold level that maintains alveolar recruitment while avoiding overdistension
- the lower inflection point (LIP)
| - The upper inflection point (UIP)
124
LIP
lower inflection point (LIP)- represents the pressure at which a large number of alveoli are recruited. Setting the PEEP at this level helps improve oxygenation and prevents alveolar collapse
125
UIP
Upper inflection point (UIP)- represents the point at which a large number of alveoli are overdistended. Using volume or pressure control strategies that maintain Pplat below this threshold helps prevent alveolar overdistension and VILI
126
stress index method
evaluates the level of PEEP to avoid overdistension and underrecruitment of alveoli
-Used during constant flow tidal volume delivery (square flow waveform)
127
An upwardy concave sloping pressure-time curve suggests
Improved Cl and is scored as a stress index of less than 1, indicating additional potential for recruitment and increase levels of PEEP
128
A downwardly concave sloping pressure-time curve is scored as
a stress index of greater than 1, representing alveolar overdistension and the need to decrease PEEP and/or tidal volume
129
What increases minute ventilation in respiratory muscle load? Resistive load? Elastic load?
- Minute ventilation: Pain and anxiety, Sepsis, Increased deadspace, excessive feeding
- Increased Resistive Load: Bronchospasm, Secretions, Small artificial airways
- Increased Elastic Load: Low lung compliance, Low chest wall compliance, AutoPEEP

Positive pressure applied intrathoracically during mechanical ventilation can impact
renal function and fluid balance.
- Mechanical ventilation has been shown to reduce the blood supply to the renal system, resulting in increased levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and decreased atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).
- The changes in these fluid-regulating hormones reduce urine output and promote fluid retention
137
Normal urine output is estimated at
1 mL/kg/hr of predicted body weight (PBW).
138
can help determine if reductions in cardiac output and changes in fluid balance are due to mechanical ventilation.

139
Which of the following changes associated with mechanical ventilation may lead to increased fluid retention and a decrease in urine output?
Decreased ANP, Cardiac output, Increased ADH
140
Laryngeal edema
is a common occurrence after intubation and mechanical ventilation.
-It is caused by an inflammatory response to the irritation of the larynx during intubation or after extubation. Laryngeal swelling can result in significant airway resistance, making it difficult to breathe.
141
Normal alveolar stretching limits are reached in the range of
30 to 35 cm H2O; transpulmonary pressures in excess of this value can result in VILI.
-Repetitive tidal volume stretch with volumes greater than 9 mL/kg of PBW without maximum airway pressure exceeding 30 cm H2O may also contribute to VILI.
