Study Notes
Prerequisites and Learning Objectives
- The associated workshop has a recommended prerequisite, which is not specified.
Respiratory System Overview
- The glottis is a part of the respiratory system.
- The respiratory system warms, moisturizes, and cleans the air in the nasal cavity and trachea.
- The epiglottis serves to separate the trachea from the esophagus during swallowing.
Breathing and Ventilation
- The diaphragm and intercostal muscles are involved in breathing.
- The lungs are responsible for removing carbon dioxide and picking up oxygen.
Respiratory Distress in Children
- Early signs of respiratory distress in children include a weak cough.
- Cyanosis indicates inadequate oxygenation in a child with respiratory distress.
Mechanical Ventilation
- Mechanical ventilation is used in children when necessary, especially when non-invasive methods are ineffective.
- The preferred mode of ventilation in children is not specified.
Bi-level Therapy
- A full-face mask is used if there is significant air leak with nasal masks.
- A 'Low Pressure' alarm can be caused by a dislodged mask or a leak in the circuit.
- If the child will not wear the mask during Bi-level therapy, try readjusting the mask or using a different size.
- Sore eyes in the morning during Bi-level therapy can be addressed by adjusting the mask or using a humidifier.
Ventilation Modes
- Bi-level therapy delivers a set pressure when the child breathes a breath on their own.
- Hybrid mode ventilation provides both spontaneous and mandatory (timed) breaths.
- Volume-controlled ventilation delivers a mandatory breath with a set volume to the patient.
- Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) delivers pressurized air through a mask.
