Triggering
This trigger requires the patient to create a negative pressure below baseline before a breath is delivered.
What is a pressure trigger?
Normal adult inspiratory time is:
What is 0.9-1.1 seconds?
PRVC is classified as this type of ventilatory mode.
What is a dual-control mode?
CPAP is equivalent to this BiPAP setting.
What is EPAP?
Automode is best described as a bridge between assist-control and this type of mode.
What is a spontaneous mode?
The typical adult flow trigger setting is approximately:
What is 2L/min?
Rise time refers to the time required to reach this parameter.
What is peak inspiratory flow?
PRVC targets this parameter while regulating this parameter
What is tidal volume while regulating pressure?
To improve oxygenation on BiPAP, adjust FiO2 or this setting.
What is EPAP?
Automode is available only on this brand of ventilator.
What is Servo?
On a Servo ventilator, this flow trigger setting is the most sensitive.
What is 10?
Rise time should generally be no more than this fraction of the inspiratory time.
What is one-third?
The first breath delivered in PRVC is given as this mode.
What is volume control ventilation?
To improve ventilation and reduce PaCO2, adjust this setting.
What is IPAP?
The adult trigger timeout range before switching back to assist-control mode is:
What is 7-12 seconds?
Adults generally require this pressure change below baseline to trigger a breath.
What is -1 to -2 cmH2O?
A long rise time generally results in a _____ peak inspiratory pressure.
What is a lower PIP?
PRVC adjusts pressure by this amount per breath.
What is 3 cmH2O?
A patient is on CPAP +7 and pressure support of 8. The equivalent BiPAP IPAP would be:
What is 15 cmH2O?
In Automode, AC/PC transitions to this spontaneous mode.
What is CPAP with Pressure Support?
What is a flow trigger?
A patient has an inspiratory time of 0.1 seconds and a plateau time of 0.3 seconds. Total inspiratory time is:
What is 1.3 seconds?
The high-pressure alarm should generally be set this many centimeters of water above the PIP.
What is 10 cmH2O?
When EPAP is increased, this setting must also be increased to maintain the same pressure gradient.
What is IPAP?
When documenting a patient on Automode, clinicians should chart:
What is the mode the patient is currently in?
