Q

Neb inline with vent

A

Adds Vt if run off different source (electronic preferred)
Increases Peak pressure on volume vent. !!
Pressure vent. will still only reach preset pressure
Add near humidifier and neb on exhalation, fills the inspiratory limb
Cool gas to run neb cools down gas and causes more rainout, losing meds to rainout

27
Hyperinflation Therapy
IS-Cant hold up head, cant see, cant 10ml/kg IBW IPPB- Cant cooperate Mask CPAP-last resort, atelectasis
28
Indication for intubation
``` Pulmonary function (disease)-Lung not working Provide an airway (obstruction)- Epiglotitis Protect the airway (aspiration) Pulmonary hygiene (Secretion removal) ```
29
ETT
``` 1cm markings, standard 15mm adaptor, 2.5-10size range (may have size 2) ID=(age / 4) + 4 Adult size at 12-14 years, F 7-8.5, M 8-10 ```
30
Cuffed vs. Uncuffed
Up to practitioner, all sizes except 2.5 come with cuffs or without, all cuffed at 5.5
31
LMA
Used in surgery, covers throat opening, back up airway for difficult intubations, short term ventilation, low pressure ventilation (no High)
32
Suction
``` Yankauer (tonsil tip) Catheters etc Peds sx 80-100 infants 60-80 Adults 100-120 ```
33
Intubation Procedures
``` +Orotracheal -Sniffing Position, do not over extend -Preoxygenate -30sec max -Co2 detector(only work with BF) -Auscultate -Direct visualization(watch two cords) -CXR +Nasotracheal -One size smaller than oral -Magill forceps +blind (DONT DO) ```
34
withdrawal ETT tube when
during manual inspiration at peak if possible. Complications after extubation: Sore throat, Hoarseness, Edema: leading to stridor- treat with racemic epi, steroids, heliox
35
when to trach
``` Airway obstruction (congenital) long term vent Pulmonary hygiene ```
36
IRDS can develop
bronchopulmonarydysplasia
37
Complications of tracheostomy
``` Most common leading to death -Plugging of airway with mucous: keep air moist -Accidental decannulation Others -Bleeding -granulation -erosion -Tracheomalacia -Speech and phonation (passy muir) -Swallowing ```
38
catheter size for suctioning
1/2 the ID of tube
39
Preoxygenate
10-20% higher or 100 if needed, manually ventilate using same peak pressures and PEEP
40
Lavage Controversial
NaCL | Use small amounts, 0.5 to 1ml for neonates
41
Surfactant agents
Surface-active agents that lower surface tension -Surface tension is the force caused by attraction between like molecules that occurs at liquid-gas interfaces and that hold the liquid surface intact (measure in dynes per centimeter)
42
Two types of surface tension in the lung
1. Surface tension of pulmonary edema, you want to decrease the tension to break the bubble - Pulmonating P.E : pink frothy secretions overload 2. Force in the alveoli that pulls them in, you want to decrease the tension of the alveoli to prevent collapse
43
Surfactant is produced by
Type II alveoli cells: 26weeks | 90-95% is reabsorbed by the Type II cells and recycled
44
Surfactants does what
regulates the surface tension forces of the liquid alveolar lining. Lowers surface tension as it is compressed during expiration, thus, reducing the amount of pressure and inspiratory effort needed to re-expand the alveoli during inspiration
45
Surfactant is composed of
lipids and proteins - 90% lipids: 90% of lipids are phospholipids. About 50% of phospholipids are DPPC, aka lecithin, primary component component responsible for reducing tension - 10% proteins: Serum proteins, surfactant specific protein (SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, SP-D)
46
Exogenous means
surfactant produced outside of the body - places surfactant in the lungs of premature babies born before the type II alveoli cells are able to produce their own - Once the surfactant is in the alveoli it will be reabsorbed by the type II alveoli cells and they will start producing their own
47
Types of Surfactant
- Natural/ modified: from natural sources (human or animal) with addition or removal of substances. Advantage of being natural and having the needed lipids, disadvantages risk of contamination (i.e. passing on a virus) - Synthetic: Prepared by mixing in vitro synthesized substances which may or may not be in natural surfactant. Advantage of not causing contamination but does not have as many of the needed lipids.
48
Indications for Surfactant
- Prophylactic in infants less than 1250g birth weight (29 weeks) - Prophylactic in infants more than 1250g birth weight but have signs of pulmonary immaturity or RDS (over 29weeks)
49
Rescue
in infants that have developed RDS less than 72 hour from onset
50
Surfactant Brands
Survanta (Beractant) Infasurf (calfactant) Curosurf (portactant) Exosurf (colfosceril)
51
Surfanta
Beractant -Modified natural, made from bovine (cow)lungs, has proteins and DPPC added -Dose, 100mg/kg , repeat no sooner than 6 hours if needed -Direct tracheal instillation via ETT tube +administer via 5fr catheter placed in ETT +split into 4 doses, bag pt after each dose for at least 30 sec (1/4 dose-bag- 1/4 dose)
52
Infasurf
Calfactant -Modified natural, from bovine lungs, lipids and proteins -Dose, 3ml/kg up to 3 doses 6-12 hours apart -Direct instillation via ETT +side port, slowly instill half dose with pt on right side, repeat on left side +Catheter, give 4 doses one each -supine, prone, right, and left, pace on MV in between
53
Curosurf
Portactant -Natural from porcine (pig) lungs, lipids and proteins -Dose, 2.5 ml/kg , 1.25 ml/kg second and third dose 12 hours later if needed -Direct instillation via ETT +two doses through catheter one with pt on each side +bag or MV in between
54
Exosurf
Colfosceril | -Synthetic surfactant
55
Hazards and complications of surfactant
-Airway occlusion from liquid reading to desaturation and bradycardia -As drug works and lungs improve the infant may become over ventilated +increased PaO2 +Increased Volumes and barotrauma -Apnea -pulmonary hemorrhage in infants less than 700mg (bleeding in lungs, not much you can do) -Cerebral Hemmorage (brain bleed, nothing you can do)
56
Nitric Oxide (NO) (blue tank)
Laughing gas - Normally produced by all cells - Vasodilation of pulmonary vascular bed - better perfusion
57
Inhaled iNO preferred because
Preferred because the NO only gets to the blood vessels that are connected to open alveoli therefore dilating only blood vessels that can pick up O2. Moves more air past ventilating alveoli
58
Nitric oxide used when
Hypoxic resp failure of newborn (pulonary hypertension of newborn) near or full term ARDS, not shown to work in adults possible in children in combination with HFV: want to open up alveoli and better BF that are working
59
Nitric Oxide Titrate into vent circuit via a specialty machine
Starting dose anywhere from 1-80ppm | recommended start from .gov 18ppm
60
Complication NO
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) - byproduct of NO and O2 -Toxic to pt and health care providers -add NO gas right before the wye so less time to mix -Scavenge the exhaled gas-sucks up gases (can cause) Methemoglobin -can combine with hemoglobin decreasing O2 carrying capacity
61
Helium-oxygen (heliox)
- Inert gas - lighter gas gets around obstruction better - Non rebreather (venti mask) - vent circuit - Deliver aerosol medications (asthmatics)
62
Flow meters
H:O2 80:20 multiply flow rate by 1.8 70:30 multiply flow rate by 1.6 or just keep bag inflated on NRB
63
To lower FiO2 less than 0.21
use CO2 or N2
64
Bronchodilators
Beta agonist | Anticholinergic
65
Beta Agonist
- Beta II agonist - Beta Adrenergic - Sympathomimetic
66
Sympathomimetic
- Albertal and levalbuterol | - Racemic Epi for croup and Epiglottitis
67
Albuterol and levalbuterol
Usually use regular unit dose unless child is less than one year old, even then many time use full dose
68
Racemic epi for croup and epiglottitis
Officially you are not suppose to give for epiglottitis, the child needs to go to surgery for intubation
69
Anticholinergic
Parasympatholytics | Atrovent- remember not to use Atrovent on an asthmatic with allergies to peanuts
70
Antiinflammatory
Corticosteroids | Cromolyn Sodium/ Nedocromyl Sodium
71
Corticosteroids
Inhaled steroids- still controversial, many practitioners do not like to use on kids. Will try intal, oral anti-inflammatory, and/ or theophylline
72
Cromolyn Sodium/ Nedocromyl Sodium
inhaled for asthma, maintenance drug, don not give in acute situation. Mast cell stabilizer stops the allergic reaction from getting started
73
Mucolytics
Mucomyst | Pulmozyme
74
Antibiotics/ Antiviral
Tobramycin Pentamidine Ribaviron
75
