Ventilator Modes
Client has full control of rate, tidal volume, pressures? |
Ventilator Modes
Spontaneous Breathing |
|
Ventilator Modes
Client can trigger ventilator to deliver breaths at preset volume or pressure and inspiratory flow rate; breaths will be delivered at preset rate if client does not initiate? |
Ventilator Modes
Assist-control mode ventilation (ACMV) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Mandatory breaths delivered by ventilator are synchronized with client's inspiratory effort? |
Ventilator Modes
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Positive pressure is maintained in airways; all breaths are spontaneous? |
Ventilator Modes
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Used in conjunction with other ventilator modes; positive airway pressure is maintained throughout respiratory cycle? |
Ventilator Modes
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Applies positive pressure to the airways of a spontaneously breathing client? |
Ventilator Modes
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) |
|
Ventilator Modes
It is used to help maintain open airways and alveoli, decreasing the work of breathing? |
Ventilator Modes
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Frequently used to initiate mechanical ventilation and when the client is at risk for respiratory arrest (e.g., overdose or head injury). |
Ventilator Modes
Assist-control mode (ACMV or AC) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Assisted breaths are triggered by inspiratory effort; however, if the respiratory rate falls below a preset number (e.g., 14 per minute), ventilator-controlled breaths are delivered. All breaths, assisted and controlled, are delivered at a specific tidal volume or pressure and inspiratory flow rate? |
Ventilator Modes
Assist-control mode ventilation (ACMV or AC) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Allows the client to breathe spontaneously, without ventilator assistance, between delivered ventilator breaths. Mandatory or ventilator-controlled breaths are delivered at a preset rate, volume, and/or pressure, coordinated with the client's inspiratory efforts? |
Ventilator Modes
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) |
|
Ventilator Modes
This mode of ventilation is used to support ventilation, to exercise respiratory muscles between ventilator-assisted breaths, and during the weaning process? |
Ventilator Modes
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) |
|
Ventilator Modes
Requires intubation and can be applied to other ventilator modes? |
Ventilator Modes
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) |
|
Ventilator Modes
A positive pressure is maintained in the airways during exhalation and between breaths. Keeping alveoli open between breaths improves ventilation-perfusion relationships and diffusion across the alveolar-capillary membrane. This reduces hypoxemia and allows use of lower percentages of inspired oxygen. It is particularly useful for treating ARDS? |
