    Study Notes

    Respiratory Mechanics and Gas Exchange

    • Inspiration causes alveoli to expand, allowing air entry for gas exchange with blood through alveolar walls.
    • During expiration, alveoli contract but do not fully collapse due to surfactant, which reduces surface tension.
    • Ventilation can inactivate surfactant, leading to alveolar collapse and reduced gas exchange efficiency.
    • Positive pressure ventilation can increase intrathoracic pressure, decreasing blood flow and potentially impairing cardiac output.

    Types of Ventilation

    • Normal ventilation relies on diaphragm contraction and creates negative pressure to draw air in.
    • Positive pressure ventilation artificially forces air into the chest, requiring more air for the same effects as normal breathing.
    • Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) delivers mechanical ventilation without the need for an artificial airway.
    • Invasive Ventilation (IV) employs an artificial airway to support or replace normal respiratory function.

    Indications for Artificial Ventilation

    • Signs warranting intervention include altered mental status and inadequate minute volume.
    • Objective of artificial ventilation: relieve symptoms, reduce work of breathing, stabilize gas exchange, enhance quality of life, and improve survival.

    Categories of Pulmonary Problems

    • Central nervous system issues decrease the drive to breathe (e.g., cerebrovascular accident).
    • Neuromuscular disorders impair respiratory muscles (e.g., multiple sclerosis).
    • Musculoskeletal/Pleural dysfunctions can hinder proper breathing (e.g., flail chest).
    • Airway issues (e.g., asthma) impact airflow.
    • Gas exchange reduction (e.g., pneumonia) diminishes oxygen availability.

    Ventilator Settings and Functions

    • Key settings include Tidal Volume, Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP), Mode, Rate, and Fractional Inspired Oxygen (FiO2).
    • Three types of ventilators: pressure-cycled (limited by pressure), time-cycled (limited by time), and volume-cycled (limited by volume delivered).

    Common Modes of Ventilation

    • Control Ventilation (CV): Delivers preset breaths regardless of patient effort, used for apneic patients.
    • Assist-Control Ventilation (A/C): Provides breaths in response to patient efforts but can deliver if no effort is detected.
    • Synchronous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV): Allows patient-initiated breaths while providing preset ventilator breaths.
    • Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV): Augments patient breaths, reducing breathing work.
    • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): Maintains positive airway pressure to improve oxygenation.

    Use of CPAP and BiPAP

    • CPAP and BiPAP help improve oxygenation, reduce breathing effort, prevent atelectasis, and facilitate medication delivery.
    • CPAP devices use a flow generator to create positive pressure, keeping airways open and enhancing gas exchange.

    Considerations for CPAP Use

    • Contraindications include facial trauma, altered mental state, respiratory failure, and inability to tolerate masks.
    • Potential side effects: pneumothorax from high pressure, hypotension, skin irritation, nasal congestion, and sore throat.

    Guidelines and Monitoring

    • Establish clear communication with patients to reduce anxiety and ensure understanding of the procedure.
    • Begin CPAP at a therapeutic pressure range (5-10 cm H2O) and monitor oxygen levels continuously.
    • Use PEEP valves to enhance expiratory pressure and optimize treatment effectiveness.
