Ventilator Graphics
A negative deflection on the pressure scalar before the breath would indicate this.
What is patient triggering?
This ventilation strategy is part of the ARDSnet protocol.
What is small tidal volume and fast rate?
The CVP catheter measures pressure directly in this side of the heart
What is right heart?
The difference between the PIP and Plateau pressures on the ventilator graphic determines this.
What is airway resistance?
This is a benefit of APRV mode.
What is improve oxygenation/minimize ventilator induced lung injury (VILI)?
The term for the electrical event that precedes muscle contraction
What is depolarization
This is a normal sinus rhythm with a rate > 100 bpm
What is sinus tachycardia?
This is the normal MAP
What is 93.3 mmHg?
The pressure-volume loop beaking at the upper inflection point means this.
What is lung overdistention?
This pulmonary vasodilating gas is used for PPHN.
What is Nitric Oxide (NO)?
This is the "electrical" term for relaxation
What is repolarization?
The P waves in this rhythm appear "saw toothed"
What is atrial flutter?
This pressure measurement is an indicator of lung function
What is PAP?
Expiratory flow not returning to zero would indicate this.
What is air-trapping/auto-PEEP?
This is the factor used to convert flow with a 70:30 Heliox mixture.
What is 1.6?
This is the class of drugs that increases BP by causing vessel constriction
What are vasopressors?
A pressure-volume loop that begins to bulge/widen would indicate this.
What is increased airway resistance?
This HFOV setting is used to adjust a patient's Vt/CO2.
What is amplitude?
This is the term for the "chest" leads V1-V6
What is precordial leads?
A longer that normal P-R interval describes this rhythm
What is first-degree AV block?
