terminologies PEEP Vt FiO2 I/E ratio Minute ventilation Peak inspiratory pressure(PIP) Plateau pressure (Pplat)
Vent alarms
Approach to ventilation failure!
DOTTS Think DOPES ( Dx the Problem) then DOTTS (How to Fix ) D = Disconnect the vent O = O2 100% BVM T = Tube Position/ Fxn /suction T = Tweak the Vent S = Sonography
Situational ventilation Lung injury physiology Obstructive physiology Normal lung physiology
Normal lung physiology Intubated for extra pulmonary cause i.e. Acidosis (tricky) Head injury or any other cause.
Intubating/ventilating the acidotic Don't do it if compensating enough. Don’t Rush. Preoxygenate plus pre ventilate Decrease apnea time/Awake intubation Peri intubation bicarb drip? Match the minute ventilation Pressure controlled on pressure support ventilation
Critical case 1 45 year old known DM. Presented with worsening shortness of breath. RR 48 spo2 98 BP 123/67 pH 7.13 pco2 16 hco3 13 BSR hi. You decided to intubate him in Resus with an RSI. Started management accordingly….
