Study Notes

Respiratory System

The upper respiratory tract includes the nasal cavity, pharynx, and larynx.
The vocal cords are located in the larynx.
The feeding tube that connects the pharynx and the stomach is called the esophagus.

Ventilator and Breathing

The main muscle involved in breathing is the diaphragm.
ALARM Circuit is a type of breathing circuit.
Low Exhaled Tidal Volume (Vte) is a possible cause of breathing circuit issues.
POSSIBLE CAUSES of breathing circuit issues include blocked or kinked tubes.
Ventilators need a power source to operate.
The ventilator circuit is what connects the ventilator to the tracheostomy tube.

Ventilator Modes

Mode Assist/Control (A/C) is a common ventilator mode in paediatrics where the ventilator is set up to deliver a certain number of breaths to the child in a minute.
Ventilator senses when the child is making the effort to breathe, allowing for spontaneous breaths between mandatory breaths.
Ventilator delivers no mandatory breaths in spontaneous mode, delivering as much flow and volume as the child demands when they breathe in.
Ventilator delivers a set pressure when the child breathes a breath on their own in pressure support mode.

Respiratory Distress

Early signs of respiratory distress include increased breathing rate, use of accessory muscles, and nasal flaring.
Late signs of respiratory distress include grunting, cyanosis, and decreased consciousness.

Mechanical Ventilation

Mechanical ventilators are used when a patient is unable to breathe on their own.
Volume ventilation requires giving a set amount or set volume of air to the lungs, while pressure control ventilation refers to the flow of air to the lungs.
The two types of breaths delivered by the ventilator are volume-controlled and pressure-controlled breaths.
