Definition
| Ventilation w/o perfusion. If this exceeds 0.6 as a fraction of total ventilation mechanical ventilation may be required. |

Term
|
Definition
| Area of lung where gas exchange cannot occur, if this exceeds 5% by much then this may become clinically significant |

Term
|
Definition
| systemic inflammatory response syndrome, ARDS is a component |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| 20% - 30% of total lung capacity. complicating factor that some lung is not uniformly injured, some portion is compliant |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| volume/pressure. less compliant lungs have high airway pressures reducing compliance |
|
|
Term
| tidal volume strategy with mechanical ventilation in ARDS |
|
Definition
| low tidal volume of 6ml/kg |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| rapid onset, short acting (in healthy patients, longer in ICU). Vd increases with renal impairment. also cyp 3A4 metabolism, inhibitors increase duration |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| long half-life, active metabolites, cheapest of the 'pams' |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| aseptic techniques necessary; most expensive; rapid onset, short duration; pancreatitis, high calorie; decreases intracranial pressure; |
