Q

Patient factors that create auto-peep?

Study These Flashcards
A

small airway obstructions to expiratory flow

air trapping
i.e asthma, emphysema

19
Q

Vent. factors that create auto-peep?

Study These Flashcards
A

Insufficient time for expiration
-not long enough Te

20
Q

How do you improve your Te?

Study These Flashcards
A

Decrease your Ti to increase Te

21
Q

PEEP total =?

Study These Flashcards
A

Auto-PEEP + PEEP set

22
Q

How should you adjust vent settings when: Compliance increases?

Study These Flashcards
A

The lungs become easier to inflate, and as a result, the tidal volume may increase even if the ventilator settings remain the same.

So:
-Decrease insp. pressure
** Decrease Vt (assuming constant flow)**
** Decrease Ti**

23
Q

How should you adjust vent settings when: Compliance decreases?

Study These Flashcards
A

The lungs become harder to inflate, and as a result, the tidal volume may decrease even if the ventilator settings remain the same.

So:
-Increase Insp. pressures
**-Increase Ti

24
Q

Does decreasing Vt lower inspiratory pressure?

Consider constant flow and constant pressure

Study These Flashcards
A

Decreasing Vt may lower the inspiratory pressure if the vent is set to deliver a constant flow.
-Because a smaller tidal volume requires less gas to be delivered
during each breath, and therefore, a lower inspiratory pressure is needed to achieve that lower tidal volume.

-If the vent set to deliver constant pressure, decreasing the tidal volume won’t lower inspiratory pressure.

25
How can you increase Ti?
Increase flow rate and Vt (Increasing the requirement of more gas delivered = higher insp. times)
26
How should you adjust vent settings when: resistance *increases*?
The lungs become harder to inflate, and as a result, the patient may require higher inspiratory pressures to achieve adequate ventilation. So: **-Increase RR** **-Increase MV** **Increase PEEP if pt is tolerant**
27
How should you adjust vent settings when: resistance *decreases*?
The lungs become easier to inflate, and as a result, the patient may require lower inspiratory pressures to achieve adequate ventilation. So: **-decrease RR** **-Lower PEEP if pt is tolerant** *Avoid overextension on lungs.*
28
Given MV = Vt x RR How can you increase Vt?
1. Increase inspiratory pressure 2. Increase RR 3. Increase Insp. flow rate
29
How does increasing RR increase Vt and MV?
More breaths per minute = longer
30
How could increasing RR increase Vt and MV?
1. Increasing RR can increase the amount of gas exchange by delivering more breaths per minute. This leads to an increase in MV, which is the volume of gas that is exchanged per minute. 2. Increasing RR can also lead to an increase in Vt by **reducing the amount of time available for exhalation**. Theory: -When the RR is increased, there is less time to exhale before the next breath is delivered. This can lead to an increase in end-expiratory lung volume, which in turn can increase Vt.
31
How can you increase inspiratory time?
1. Increase Ti 2. lower RR
32
How can you increase Inspiratory pressure?
1. Increase PIP = greater tidal volume
33
What can increasing PEEP do for FiO2?
Increasing PEEP can help to recruit and maintain lung volume, allowing for **improved gas exchange**. However, it can also decrease cardiac output and may require an increase in ventilator pressure settings.
34
What are 2 ways to improve oxygenation in a patient
**FiO2 and Mean Airway Pressure (longer Ti)** -FiO2 will increase the amount of available O2. -PEEP will increase the amount of surface area for that O2 to use.
35
How does increasing mean airway pressure improve oxygenation?
MAP can be manipulated via PEEP which in turn affects Ti
36
Positive Pressure Ventilation [PPV] affects the following: V/Q matching
*PRO* -When positive pressure is applied to lungs, **it can improve oxygenation and ventilation by increasing alveolar recruitment**, which increases gas exchange, and improves distribution. *CON:* Too much PPV ventilation can decrease FRC, leading to decreased oxygenation and ventilation is regions of the lungs (over-distension of alveoli) *-DEADSPACE*
37
Define Deadspace
ventilation w/o perfusion
38
Define pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR]
PVR is resistance to blood flow in pulmonary circulation. PVR is a critical determinant of pulmonary blood flow and plays a role in maintaining oxygenation and cardiac function.
39
How do you know a dose of beta-blockers are effective on a vent?
1. Increased peak expiratory flows 2. Expiration time improves 3. Revisit lung sask site for instructions on inhaler admin.
40
What does the difference between flow flow rates and volumes reflect?
If there pathology is obstructive or restrictive
41
Why can't you determine resistance in pressure control?
42
What are high levels of troponin in the blood a indicator of?
**Sign of heart muscle damage.** - troponin helps control muscle contractions in cardiac muscles.
43
Can you calculate resistance in pressure control?
No, only at the teeth for PC. The flow rates vary depending on airway resistance and compliance so flow rate is not fixed.
44
What is delta pressure?
Pplat - PEEP
