The number of breaths per minute the ventilator delivers.
What is Respiratory Rate?
100
The minimum degree of the head of bed.
What is 30-45 degrees?
100
Occurs after 48 hours of intubation in 9-27% of patients due to the upper airway defenses being bypassed, poor nutritional state, immobility, poor staff hygiene, and underlying disease process.
What is ventilator-associated pneumonia or VAP?
100
pH 7.32
What is acidosis?
200
ACV
What is Assist Control Ventilation?
200
The duration of inspiration to duration of expiration. The standard setting is 1:2.
What is I:E ratio?
200
This device must be at the bedside at all times to provide rescue breaths if necessary.
What is an ambulation (ambu) bag?
200
A rare post-intubation complication in which the trachea or other central air passageways narrow. This is a life-threatening emergency.
What is tracheal stenosis?
200
ph 7.47
What is alkalosis?
300
CMV
What is Continuous Mandatory Ventilation?
300
This is the volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath. Represents a small portion of total capacity of lungs.
What is tidal volume or TV?
300
10 seconds is the amount of time this treatment takes to be performed.
What is suctioning?
300
This complication results in alveolar fractures and movement of fluids and proteins into alveolar spaces. Due to large tidal volumes ventilating noncompliant lungs.
What is volutrauma?
300
35-45 mmHg?
What is partial pressure carbon dioxide or PaCO2?
400
NIV
What is Non-Invasive Ventilation?
400
This indicates the amount of oxygen the ventilator delivers.
What is FiO2?
400
This is a common benzodiazepine used for sedation.
What is Versed?
400
This complication results from increased airway pressuring entering the lungs and ruptures the alveoli.
What is barotrauma?
400
22-26 mEq/liter
What is bicarbonate or HCO3?
500
SIMV
What is Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation?
500
This is the pressure in the lungs (alveolar pressure) above atmospheric pressure (outside the body) that exists at end of expiration. The purpose is to keep the alveoli from collapsing.
What is positive end-expiratory pressure or PEEP?
500
This term is used to provide reduced ventilator support and increase spontaneous ventilation for the purpose of possible extubation.
