In PC/AC increasing insp. pressure will do what to minute ventilation?
Increase
What is circ compliance?
measures compliance of circuit
How to view other modes on this ventilator
Mode button on the left side
Bonus: What is another way to view modes?
What is inspiratory rise?
How fast it will take to get to set pressure
Where can machine volume be found in settings?
advanced setting on insp. pressure
How long is the suction button activated for once the button is pressed?
2 minutes
Purpose of Flow Cycle %
End of breath criteria
T/F
The purpose of machine volume is to set a maximum vt
False
T/F
In inspiratory rise, 1 indicates a fast rise in pressure and slope is steeper
True
Where do I go to change flow cycle % ?
The advanced setting of insp time
How do you get to the MIP maneuver on the ventilator screen?
Screens --- then maneuvers
Increasing Flow cycle % will do what to Vt and Ti
Decrease
T/F
When volume limit is set, and vt reaches this limit the ventilator will audibly alarm
false
In the monitors screen the option AutoPEEP measures what?
Total peep
dAutoPEEP measures what?
autopeep
When does increasing Te increase MV? Describe how this occurs.
When you have autopeep.
AutoPEEP increases total PEEP, which decreases the actual ventilating pressure.
What are the 3 components of an EST?
- leak test
- circuit compliance
- o2 sensor calibration
Increasing machine volume from 400 ml to 600 ml will do what to my Ti?
no change
Increasing machine volume from 100 ml to 600 ml will do what to PIP?
increase
Machine Volume is available in which modes?
PC/AC
PC/SIMV (mandatory and assisted breaths)
The ventilator displays a red waveform during the inspiratory phase. Is the patient triggering breaths?
No
mandatory breaths: Red
Assisted/supported breaths: Yellow
What setting when turned on requires a double-lumen tube?
Independent lung ventilation
You have a COPD pt on this ventilator who has a high work of breathing. How might you specifically manipulate the rise setting to benefit this patient?
Turn rise down
You perform a MIP/P100 maneuver. After you maneuver your value for P100 is -7 and MIP is 19 What do these mean?
P100: Pt has a high work of breathing
MIP: Pt does not have adequate muscle strength, and may not be able to generate a cough
What does the green expiratory waveform mean?
Purging of the expiratory flow sensor
