Barotrauma damage to the lungs by positive pressure
, the point at which the trachea branches into the right
Carina
and left mainstem bronchi
process of going from ventilatory dependence to
Ventilatory weaning
spontaneous breathing
fits between the ET tube and the breathing circuit and
End Tidal carbon dioxide uses a pH sensitive indicator that changes color in
detector response to different concentrations of carbon
dioxide
Lung compliance the quality of elasticity of the lungs
volume of gas inhaled or exhaled from a persons
minute ventilation
lungs per minute
lung volume representing the normal volume of air
tidal volume displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation
when extra effort is not applied
extubation Removal of endotracheal tube
used to insert a tracheostomy tube, it contains a lock
Obturator
so the tube will not be coughed out
fraction of inspired the oxygen level delivered to the patient
oxygen
PEEP positive pressure exerted during expiration
pressure difference between mouth and alveoli,
divided by airflow. Defined as the change in
airway resistance
transpulmonary pressure required to produce a unit
flow of gas through the airways of the lung
intubation the insertion of an ET tube
Ventilator mode the method of inspiratory support
Bi-level positive airway pressure- newer form of
pressure cycled ventilator in which the ventilator
BiPAP
provides a preset inspiratory pressure and an
expiratory pressure similar to PEEP
