TEST 3 Flashcards
(108 cards)
assessment for readiness to wean includes what?
reversal of condition that caused need for ventilation, control fever, assess nutritional status (keep RQ 0.8), assess cardio status, assess renal function, acceptable CNS function (cough/gag)
What is RQ equation
CO2 produced/O2 consumed
value of heart rate that is not good for weaning
less than 60 and greater than 120
value of cardiac index that is not good for weaning
<2.1
RSBI f/ Vt weaning measure
<80 is a very successful
PaO2/FiO2 weaning measure
> 150-200 good wean
What is the most predictive measurement used to wean?
RSBI
What is Bispectral Index Monitoring
non invasive means of monitoring the effects of sedation on the brain
What numbers do you want on the RASS scale to wean
1 to -2
What is the most used method of weaning?
t tube weaning is best but mostly use PSV
What is porportional assist ventilation
prevents asynchrony by randomly calculating lung mechanics, the mode will adjust the ventilatory flows and sensitivity to changes in resistance and compliance
What is VAPS?
only operates on mandatory breaths, a preset pressure is set along with a minimum Vt
What is automode?
the ventilator switch b/w mandatory and spontaneous breathing modes
What should you do when doing a terminal wean
want to suction really well, and shut off alarms
Servo 300 is driven by what?
minute ventilation
How is the servo 300 powered?
pneumatically and electric
what triggers does the servo 300 have?
pressure, flow, manual, time
equation for insp. flow
Vi= VE/TI%
how does the servo 300 cycle?
vol, time, pressure, flow
PRVC on the servo 300
vent gives breaths at 10 cmH2O, calc system compliance, then delievers 3 more test breaths and calcs compliance again readjusts PIP to achieve targeted Vt
what are some adv of PRVC
maintain alveolar recruitment, decelerating flow pattern, maintains VT despite changes in compliance and resistance
Who is PRVC good for
patients with lung injury, asthma, COPD, peds, post op
Minute ventilation is based on what 2 things
rate and tidal volume
what is volume support on servo 300
vent adjusts PS levels to achieve targeted Ve and then calcs compliance and adjusts PS to maintain set volume
