What's the Diagnosis
Condition characterized by insufficient surfactant production in premature neonate
What is respiratory distress syndrome?
The number of breaths delivered per minute
What is the rate?
The physical sign involves inward muscle movement around the chest wall during inspiration
What is retraction?
High frequency ventilation that provides active inhalation and passive exhalation
What is HFJV, high frequency jet ventilator?
Medication that has shown to improve lung maturity
What is antenatal betamethasone?
Condition characterized by air leakage into pleural space, causing lung collapse in neonates
What is pneumothorax?
The pressure maintained in the airways at the end of exhalation
Absence of breath sounds on right side of chest
What is a right sided pneumothorax?
High frequency ventilation that provides active inhalation and active exhalation
What is HFOV, high frequency oscillator ventilator ?
Type of cell that makes surfactant
What are type II pneumocytes?
Condition where air gets trapped in the lung tissue outside the air sacs (alveoli)
What is pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE)?
The amount of air delivered to the lungs with each breath
What is tidal volume?
Pink, frothy secretions while suctioning
What is pulmonary edema?
The setting that controls the peak pressure delivered during a ventilator breath
What is the Pmax?
Stage of lung development of a 22-week neonate
What is canalicular stage?
Condition where blood leaks from the lungs' capillaries into the air sacs (alveoli) and surrounding tissue
What is pulmonary hemorrhage?
The frequency at which the ventilator delivers short bursts of gas into the airway
What is the jet rate?
Frank red secretions traveling up the ETT
What is pulmonary hemorrhage?
What is RDS (respiratory distress syndrome)?
Stage of development where gas exchange occurs
What is saccular stage?
Condition of chronic lung disease affecting premature infants, characterized by the need for supplemental oxygen and/or ventilation at 36 weeks postmenstrual age
What is bronchopulmonary dysplasia?
The driving pressure that the ventilator uses to deliver the desired flow and tidal volume
What is the servo pressure?
Characterized by a short, low-pitched noise during exhalation
What is grunting?
A mode of mechanical ventilation where the ventilator delivers a set number of breaths with a set volume, while also allowing for spontaneous breaths from the patient
What is SIMV? (synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation
Areas of the lung where blood flows through the pulmonary circulation but does not participate in adequate gas exchange
What are intrapulmonary shunts?
