Q

5 lung volumes and capacities

what is the closing capacity. What increases it

What is FRC? Why is low FRC bad

A

CC is the volume at which distal airways without cartilaginous support begin to close with a forced expiratory manuver. Sum of RV and CV

CV volume at above residual volume at which distal airways close

increasing closing capacity is ACLS-S: Age, Chronic bronchitis, LV failure, Smoking, Surgery

FRC is volume left in lung after normal breath or TV/. reduces amount of oxygen available if apnea or hypovent occur. can cause hypoxemia

How would you assess pts COPD

A
  1. focused hx and physical:
    - cough, dyspnea, ETT, freq pulm infections, mucus, orthopnea,

hospitalizations, meds (compliance, effectiveness)

  • PE: vitals(sat, RR) cyanosis, clubbing (chronic hypoxia), signs resp distress use of assessory muscles, nasal flaring, listed to lungs,
  • look for signs cor pulmonale: JVD, hepatomegaly, edema
  • CBC: erythrocytosis,

CXR (hyperinflation or scarring): rule out acute process and serve as baseline for periopcourse

EKG (RVH),

ABG (hypoxia hypercarbia), electrolytes: met alkalosis to compensate for

Q

How would you ventilate a pt with COPD?

A
  1. slow RR with prolonged expiratory time to reduce air trapping. (COPD involves increased airway resistance that impede exhalation. delayed upstoke CO2 suggest incomplete emptying (consistent w obstruction)
  2. if bullous dz avoid nitrous, and min peak airway pressure and use PEEP cautiously to avoid rupture
  3. humdifiy gases to help preserve mucociliary fxn and ability to clear secretions
  4. ventilation should be targeted to maintain baseline. if aim for normocapnia, in chronic CO2 retainer, may end up w alkalosis which can lead to L shift oygen hemoglobin diss curve

Q

Why left side DLT preferred

How to confirm position L DLT

When would you place R DLT

A

R side closer to carina and variably located RUL, more risk of RUL occlusion

  1. inflate tracheal cuff should have b/l BS (ensures endotracheal intubation)
  2. inflate bronchial cuff, clamp tracheal. should have L side only.(confirms L sided endobronchial intubation
    - If hear b/L DLT is out too far
    - If hear right side: DLT wrong side (ensures tracheal balloon at carina
  3. inflate tracheal clamp bronchial: right side only
  4. confirm w fiberoptic

Factors that inhibit HPV and increase blood flow to nondependent lung

Q

Benefits to SIMV

A
    • Transition from controlled to spontaneous vent
      • Improve tolerance of mechanical ventilation
        • Decrease vent dysynchrony
      • Ensures a min MV
      • Preferred over AC in pt with high MV as it reduces risk of hyperinflation, autopeep, and volume trauma

set basal RR that is synchonized to avoid mechanical breath during pt initated breath

AC: Each breath is either an assist or control breath, but they are all of the same volume. The larger the volume, the more expiratory time required. If the I:E ratio is less than 1:2, progressive hyperinflation may result.

Guarantees a certain number of breaths, but unlike ACV, patient breaths are partially their own, reducing the risk of hyperinflation or alkalosis. Mandatory breaths are synchronized to coincide with spontaneous respirations.

AC ideal for muscle recovery

37
Q

options if surgeon needs better visualization in airway

A

exchange for smaller tube if ventilation and intubation were easy

intermittent apnea/extubation w spontaneous vent

  • unobstructed access to airway
  • no combustible devise in airway during ablation
  • movement of surgical field w spontaneous resp
  • potential for inadewuate ventilation

intermittent apnea/extubation w spontaneous vent

  • periods of ventilation 1 100% oxygen interspered w periods of apnea during which surgeon works on airway
  • all of the above +added benefit of motionless surgical field

sponatneous ventilation without an ETT

intermittent jetventilation through the operating larngoscope-

  • motionless field (eliminates movement of diaphagm)
  • reduced risk of airway fire
  • not reccomeended for those w decreased chest wall compliance: obesity, restrictive lung disease or conditions that may limit full exhalation (severe COPD, glottic lesions

risks

  1. misalignment of jet to glottic inlet-poot ventilation/gastric ventilation
  2. transmission of blood smoke debris into distal airways (virus)

3 . bartrauma (pneumediastinum, SQ emphysema, PTX)

38
Q

How to jet vent

most common cause of desaturation w jet ventilator

what would you do

A

ventilate with 100% oxygen until surgeon ready to position suspension larngoscope w attached jet injector needle

  • ensure adequate muscle relaxation and dept of anesthesia
  • remove ETT and position suspension larngoscope
  • iniate jet vent at 5-10 (children) or 15-20psi in adults and titrate upwards until adequate rise and fall
  • inadeuquate ventilation pressure, malpositioned jet ventilator (others: PTX, aspiration from gastric distention, bronsco/larngospasm, obstruction

**

  7. At 24 if CXR no evidence of acute lung injury, extubate when no evidene of airway edema by bronch, confirm tube leak, prepare for emergent reintubation
  8. CXR, steriods, pulm consult
40
Q

How to reduce risk of airwat fire
