Expiratory pressure that are kept above ambient pressure with PEEP use a variety of devices that are either _____ or _______ resistors

Flow or threshold resistors

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

This type of resistor is flow dependent?

Flow resistors; the higher the expired gas the higher the expiratory pressure generated

This type of resistor provides a constant pressure throughout expiration irregardless of rate of gas flow.

Threshold resistor

``` Conditions which may benefit from the use of higher PEEPS include? A. Ali B. Ards C. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema D. Unilateral pneumonia E. All of the above F. A, B, & C G. A, B, & D ```

Answer: F: A, B, C Only bilateral pneumonia would benefit from PEEP therapy

In normal oxygen transport you would want to see your pulmonary shunt fraction less than?

15%

If you have a patient that has perfusion but no ventilation what would you suspect was going on?

Shunt is present, use of peep would be beneficial

When PEEP is used and you see a restoral of FRC what else should improve?

Compliance

T or F: When using Peep you would expect an increase of Ve

False

T or F: TWhen monitoring patients with chest wall injuries or hypovolemia the measurement of Compliance would serve as a good indicator of optimum PEEP or cardiovascular changes.

False

In a hypovolemic patient what should be used to judge if you have a good level of peep without cardiovascular decline?

Invasive technique such as balloon tipped pulmonary artery catheter

What is a normal value for your arterial to venous oxygen difference?

5vol% at rest

When Peep is applied successfully what would you expect to happen to your alveolar to O2 tension gradient?

The gradient difference of P(A-a)O2 should decrease to reflect improving V/Q.

Oxygen delivery depends on what 3 factors?

Oxygen delivery depends on FIO2, CaO2 | and CMO

FIO2 change of 10% = ____ torr

50 torr

Your goal of oxygenation is to keep FIO2 at _________ | to prevent oxygen toxicity

60% or less

``` A patient with myasthenia gravis is started on mechanical ventilation. THE chest x-ray is normal. Breath sounds are clear. Initial ABG’s on 0.25 are pH 7.31, PaCO2 62, PaO2 58 and HCO3 31 mEq/L A. increase FIO2 to improve oxygenation B. improve ventilation C. Make no change at this time and monitor patient until prognosis worsens ```

B improve ventilation; patient in respiratory acidosis

True

``` Conditions that will not respond to O2 and cause shunt include: A. Pneumothorax B. Atelectasis C. Pneumonia D. all of the above E. none of the above ```

D. all of the above cause shunting that will not respond to O2

It will increase mean airway pressure

above 5

All of these patients would be poor candidates for PEEP except: A. Emphysema patient B. Patient with highly compliant lungs C. A patient with a head injury D. A patient with bilateral lung disorder

D. bilateral lung disorder

``` Hazards of Peep include? A. Increased CMO B. Increased Venous return C. Increased Right ventricle afterload D. all of the above E. A & B only F. B & C only ```

Right ventricle afterload

True

``` Other Hazards of Peep include? A. Decreased CMO B. Decreased Venous return C. decreased left ventricular distension D. Decreased liver and renal function E. All of the above ```

E. All of the above

T or F: PVR is another hazard associated with use of peep which means increased ventricular resistance

true

T or F: When using the recruitment maneuvers, patients suffering from direct lung injury such as those conditions affecting lung tissue will be less successful than those suffering indirectly injuries

True

T or F: It is impossible for lungs to hyper-inflate without overstretching?

False

________ is defined as a higher than normal ratio of gas to tissue.

Hyperinflation

``` Increases to alveolar wall tension or distending pressure causes? A. Over-distention/overstretch B. Hyperinflation C. increased levels of inflammatory mediators D. A & B E. A & C F. ABC G. B & C ```

D: overdistention and increased levels of inflammatory mediators results from too much pressure on alveolar walls

T or F: Use of PEEP in patients with head injuries is not recommended as it may cause an increase in CVP.

True

T or F: Peep can be effective in treating either overdistention or already existing hyperinflation.

False; Peep is not effective in treating hyperinflation in patients like emphsyema

An example of a condition that causes overdistention is ______ while another condition of _________ causes hyperinflation.

1. Ards | 2. Emphysema

T or F: When a patient presents with fluid consolidation, pink frothy secretions, and crackles this is indicative of development of ARDS and use of PEPP would be indicated

False: Pink, frothy secretions with fluid buildup is a symptom of CHF and cardiogenic pulmonary edema which is different from edema of ARDS; They will benefit from PPV that reduces venous return and the amount of blood the heart must pump which reduces the work of the heart

Why is oxygen therapy less effective in | absolute shunt than in V/Q mismatch?

With V/Q mismatch there is still contact with the alveoli but in absolute shunt no contact is made which is why O2 not effective

Name an absolute contraindication for Peep

Untreated Tension Pneumothorax

Name 4 relative contraindications of Peep.

Hypovolemia Increased ICP Increased FRC due to emphysema or over compliance Unilateral lung diseases

In the case of Hypovolemia it is still possible to use PEEP but what must first be done?
