Cards

Term
Classic signs of PE
Definition
Sudden onset dyspnea
Pleuric chest pain
Feeling of impending doom/anxiety
Dry cough
Hemoptysis
Term
Other signs of PE
Definition
Tacypnea/tacycardia
Crackles/pleural friction rub
S3/S4 heart sounds
Diaphoresis
Low grade fever
Petechiae over chest/axillae
Decreased Sao2
Scynope
Distended neck veins - blood is backing up (BAD)
Term
Ventilator Failure
Definition
BF is normal but air mvmt is inadequate. Chest pressure change is inadequate. Co2 is retained
Term
Oxygenation failure
Definition
Chest pressure adequate air moves without difficulty but pulmonary blood is not oxygenated suffiently. Lung blood flow is decreased. May be shunted and bypass lungs. Supplemental o2 does not help
Term
Pressure cycled ventilation
Definition
Pushes air into lungs until a preset airway pressure is reached
Term
Time cycled ventilation
Definition
pushes air into lungs until a preset time has elapsed
Term
Volume cycled ventilation
Definition
Pushes air into lungs until a preset volume is delivered. Delivered regardless of chest wall compliance or airway resistance
Term
Microprocessor ventilators
Definition
Computer managed. Better monitoring
Term
Assist control
Definition
Responds to pts inspiratiory effors and takes over the work of breathing for PT.

Can lead to hyperventilation and Resp alkalosis. Continues to deliver o2 at preste tidal volume even when spontaneous breathing increases
Term
Synchronized intermittent
Definition
Preset Tidal volume and ventilatory rate.

Allows spontaneous breathing at PTs own rate and tidal volume between breaths
Term
Bi level positive airway pressure
Definition
Provides noninvasive pressure support ventilation by nasal mask or face mask.
Term
CPaP
Definition
Applies positive pressure throughout entire respiratory cycle for spontaneously breathing pts.

Keeps alveoli open. Increases functional residual capacity.
Term
Tidal volume
Definition
colume of air pt recieves with each breath

generally 7-10 ml/kg
Term
Rate
Definition
Breaths per min

Generally 10-14
Term
Fraction of inspired ox (FiO2)
Definition
Oxygen level delivered to pt

Range: 21-100%
Term
Peak airway pressure
Definition
Highest pressure reached during inspiration
Term
Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)
Definition
Positive pressure exerted during expiration

Prevents atelectasis
Term
Complications of ventilation (general)
Definition
Hypotension
Fluid retention
Acid base imbalance
Lung damage
Stress ulcers
Malnutrition
Infection
Term
Barotrauma
Definition
Damage to lungs by positive pressure
Term
Volutrauma
Definition
Damage to lungs by excess volume delivered to one lung over the other
Term
Atelectrauma
Definition
Shear injury to alveoli from opening and closing
Term
Biotrauma
Definition
Inflammatory response mediated dave to alveoli
Term
Ventilator associated(/induced) lung injury (VALI/VILI)
Definition
Damage from prolonged ventilation causing loss of surfactant, increased infmallation, fluid leakage, and non cardiac pulmonary edema
Term
Ventilator bundle
Definition
Elevate HOB to at least 30 degrees
Oral care per policy
Ulcer prophylaxis
Prevent aspiration
Pulmonary hygiene including PROM
Term
High alarm causes
Definition
Secreations, obstructions, kinks intubing
Term
Low alarm causes
Definition
Leak in ventilator, cuff leak in tube
Term
Sx of pneumothorax
Definition
Reduced breath sounds
Asymetrical chest expansion
Tracheal deviation away from side of injury
Pleuric pain
Tacypnea
Term
Sx of hemothorax
Definition
If small may have no sx
Respiratory distress with reduced breath sounds
