respiratory support
the amount of oxygen in room air
what is 21%?
This will alarm when patient circuit is not connected to patient
what is circuit disconnect?
the percentage of oxygen being delivered to the patient
what is Fi02?
collapsed lung caused by air leaking into the pleural space
what is pneumothorax?
how fast your patient is breathing
what is respiratory rate ?
provides a continuous one level positive pressure ventilation
what is CPAP?
this will alarm when the patient is coughing, thick secretions, mucus plus, kinks in circuit, pt agitation
what is high peak pressure/ pressure limited?
the amount of breaths being delivered to the patient in one minute
what is the rate?
this is treated with inhaled or IV bronchodilators and steroids
what is asthma exacerbation?
deep retractions under the ribs of your patient
what is subcostal retraction?
uses heated humified air to reduce dead space between the nares and the airway. max flow is 2/kg
what is high flow nasal cannula ?
this alarm will alarm when there is a leak in circuit or airway, tidal volume not meeting patient demand will also have low tidal volume and minute ventilation
what is low peak pressure?
The amount of pressure left in the lung at the end of expiration to keep the alveoli open
What is PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure)?
this is the most common lower respiratory tract problem that causes inflammation in the bronchioles (small airways) in children under 2. treated with support, suction and time
what is Bronchiolitis?
a loud high pitched musical noise that occurs during breathing
what is stridor?
provides a Bi-level positive pressure ventilation
What is BIPAP?
this alarm is most commonly due to tachypnea
what is high minute ventilation?
the amount of air being delivered to the lungs during inhalation or from the lungs during exhalation
what is tidal volume ?
this causes swelling in the upper airway, categorized by loud stridulous breathing. treated with heliox and steroids
what is croup?
what is diminished lung sounds?
provides multiple tiny volumes at a high frequency rate to children with very sick lungs
what is High Frequency Oscillatory ventilation?
high priority alarms
what is patient disconnect and severe occlusion?
cannot be rest until fixed! must bag patient !
primary mode used in pediatrics, sets a mandatory rate, provides spontaneous pressure support breaths, protects from breath stacking and hyperventilation
what is SIMV (Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation)?
buildup of fluid in the pleural space
what is pleural effusion?
the is the pneumonic to go through during an airway emergency
DOPE
Dislodgement, obstruction, pneumothorax, and equipment malfunction
