25
Peak inspiratory pressure (PIP, PAP, Pmax, etc)
Neonate 15-20cmH2O check for beaking and adjust setting | -pediatric set to achieve desired vt
26
Set rate
Neonate: start 40-60 term: start 25-40 pediatric: set to achieve desired Co2
27
Set PEEP
start 5cmH2O
28
Set FiO2
Neonate: keep baby pink, use TCM or Pox to keep within normal limits Pediatric: PaO2 and or SpO2 normal limits, 100% if need for short times
29
Set Inspiratory Time
Low birth weight infants: 0.25 to 0.4 Term infants: 0.6-1.2 Comfort level also
30
Set I:E ratio
1:1.5 to 1.2 | always check ratio when changing rate
31
Decreased compliance, stiff lungs
Crackles decreased chest wall excursion decreased slope of pressure volume loop decreased tidal vol
32
Increased airway resistance
increased secretions wheezes/ rhonchi Reduced tidal volumes on same pressure-suction-stiff lungs?
33
Changing PaCO2
Primary: rate, 2-5 bpm per change secondary: peak pressure, set by lung volume (watch returned volumes), watch chest excursion. Flow rate, increased flow increases Vt (watch returned volumes)
34
Changing PaO2
Primary: fio2 up to 60% secondary: increase mean airway pressure - PEEP: 5cmH2O start, increase 3-5 - Increase I time - Increase rate
35
Wean infant to
FiO2 wean to < 0.4-0.5 PEEP wean by 1-2 increments to <8cmH2O PIP wean by 1-2 to <30cmH2O Rate wean by 1-5 to <20bpm
36
Wean Pediatric to
FiO2 <40% PEEP < 5cmH2O Rate to zero (CPAP) with or without PSV, take ETT size into account
37
Extubation Success indicators
``` Vt 3-4 ml/kg FiO2 <30% MAP <5cmH2O Oxygen Index (fiO2/ PaO2) x 100 <1.4 -leak text ```
38
High Frequency Ventilation (HFV)
Small tidal volumes, even tidal volumes below anatomic dead space high rates 150-3000bpm uses lower peak pressures has not been proven to be significantly better than conventional ventilation use with surfactant therapy there is less BPD
39
Indications for HFV
RDS when conventional ventilation fails -airleaks/pneumothorax PIE
40
Contraindications of HFV
COPD | Non-homogenous lung disease; leads to overdistention of good lung tissue
41
Hazards of HFV
Mucus pluggin Decreased CO Increased incidence of IVH Difficult to assess breath sounds and heart sounds
42
Theory of how HVF works
Flow goes down the inside of the tube and out the outside of the tube -alveoli have different time constants and this mode inflates all alveoli better
43
Types of HVF
High Frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) | High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV or HFO)
44
HFJV, HFFI, HFOV
All use bias flow like all T piece that acts as the source of the gas blown in with the bursts of gas allow for spontaneous breathing with the HFV
45
HFJV
``` 4-11 Hz (240-660 bpm) Pulse of gas to airway -special adaptor to ETT or special ETT --triple lumen: one for jet bursts, one to measure pressure in lungs, one for CV -Jet draws in air around the jet ```
46
When is HFJV used
in tandem with conventional ventilation -conventional vent supplies sighs for development of surfactant, PEEP, and continous flow for the air entrained by the jet
47
HFOV or HFO
8-15Hz Piston or pump or diaphragm (loud speaker) uses positive and neg pressure bias flow is driven into the ETT by the oscilator Expired air flows out with the same bias flow uses traditional ETT can use with CV or spontaneously breathing pt
48
Before placing pt on HFV
get CXR Give surfactant Stabilize as much as possible so infant is not needing stimulation when first place on place monitors
49
After placing on HFV
monitor CO and fluid balance | sedate
50
Settings HFJV
Start at 7hz I time 0.2 seconds PIP at 90% or 10 above PIP on CV Reduce CV rate and increase PEEP until Mean airway pressure same as CV May keep min CV rate to maintain CO2 and reduce atelectasis (ie 4bpm)
51
Setting HFOV
no gradual reduction of CV, just place on HFOV two strategies Optimal lung volume strategy (RDS) -10Hz for > 750 g, 15hz for <750g Ti 33% Set mean airway pressure 1-2 higher than on CV, until PaO2 OK Change in pressure for adequate chest wall movement check CXR for adequate expansion (diaphragm at 8th or 9th rib)
52
Adjusting settings HFV
To decrease CO2 increase Amplitude to increase O2 increase Mean airway pressure (PEEP) Usually dont adjust Hz
53
Wean HFV
Wean MAP in increments of 0.5 to 1.0 slowly | wean as long as FiO2 remains under 0.3
54
Diseases used with HFV
Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema (PIE) | Pulmonary air embolism (rare)
55
PIE
Air dissects throughout the interstitial tissue of the lungs
56
PIE caused by long term use of
HIGH PIP PEEP Prolonged Inspiratory time
57
PIE pathology
Interstitial air compresses small airways and vessels ---> V/Q mismatch
58
Tx of mod to severe PIE
Prevent, decrease pressures, Selective intubation of the unaffected lung, HFV
59
ECMO/ ECLS
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation | Extracorporeal Life Support
60
What decreases the amount of ECMO being used
HFV and iNO because the neonates can be managed well with these two therapies
61
Diagnosis of ECMO
``` PPHN persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn MAS (meconium aspiration) RDS Sepsis Congenital Diaphragmetic hernia Air leak Syndromes ```
62
PPHN
Pulmonary vascular bed remains constricted due to low O2 content pressure remain high in the right side of the heart continuing the fetal circulation through the ductus arteriosus and the foreman ovale. thus deoxygenated blood is shunted to the left heart and out to the body
63
Criteria of ECMO
``` Oxygen index > 40 on Conventional Ventilation Oxygen Index >60 on HFOV Reversible lung disease Absense of congenital anomalies 32 week gestational age min no major intraventricular hemorrhage ```
64
Venoarterial system
blood from right atrium back through aortic arch used to circulate blood through body
65
Types of ECMO
Venoarterial system | Venovenous system
66
Venovenous system
blood from and back through right atrium only oxygenates and removes CO2 does not circulate blood not as efficient as V-A
67
ECMO System
``` Pumps to move blood Membrane oxygenator and CO2 remover Some add hemofilter for hemodialysis circuits need to be primed blood heater before returning to pt cannulas to place in veins and arteries anticoagulation to prevent clotting ```
68
Monitoring pt on ECMO
Oxygenation assessed by SvO2 (75%) and/or SpO2 (>90%) Sedate not paralyzed Ultrasound of head looking for bleeding Minimal ventilation: FiO2 21-40% , peak pressures 20-25, PEEP 4-10, RR 5-10
69
