Modes of Ventilation Flashcards
Difference between BiPaP and CPAP

Indications for CPAP
patients without resp failure
*sleep apnea
Indications for Bipap
Patients with impending or existing respiratory failure
*bridge to mv
What does IPAP improve?
- improve tidal volume
- thus decreasing CO2
What does EPAP improve?
- improve FRC
- Helps recruit more alveoli thus increasing O2,may reduce work of breathing associated with autopeep
Indications for N/V
-
Restrictive disease
- Pregnancy
- Neuromuscular disease
- Obesity
-
Obstructive Disease
- COPD
N/V not indicated
- Asthma
- Pneumonia

I:E ratio

1:2 TO 1:3
I:E RATIO
OHS, NM & CWD

INSPIRATORY VOLUME
COPD
OHS, NM, & CWD
COPD: 0.8 - 1.2s
OHS, NM, & CWD: 1.2 - 1.5S
Four phases of the ventilatory cycle
- Inspiration
- Inspiration to expiration
- Expiration
- Expiration to inspiration
Trigger
FLOW VS PRESSURE
LIMIT
Determines the size of the breath
* normally associated with volume-controlled ventilation
CYCLE
Determines what actually ends the breath
PSV
FLOW IS CYCLE
VCV and PCV
TIME IS CYCLE
PCV
- less barotrauma
- esp. with pediatrics
Volume cycled; volume-controlled
- preset volume
- DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE WORK OF BREATHING
Assist- Control Ventilation
- if not breathing go to CMV
- if breathing too rapidly go to SIMV

What is this?

assisted breath
What does SIMV allow a patient to do?
Dr. Massie often put LMA with PS
if they are not breathing after the induction meds she puts her patient on SIMV OR PC
one they go above that pressure she changes them
- BETTER THAN CMV

How is the patient’s compliance tested?
most sensitive is when we bag the patient
if lung compliance is lower what happens to pressure?
compliance is lower = higher pressure
