A-a gradiatian calculation is a calculation of what? - Correct Answer level of hypoxia
PA02-Pa02
, A-a gradiant varies with age, calculation - Correct Answer 2.5 + 0.21 x age in years
5 causes of hypoxemia - Correct Answer VQ mismatch
shunt
PNA, interstitial lung dz
hypoventilation
high altitude
clinical symptoms that require intubation - Correct Answer neuromuscular depression or failure.
spinal cord injuries
guillain barre syndrome
trauma-spinal cord injuries, phrenic nerve injury
myasthenia gravis
shock
status asthmaticus
sustained apnea of any kind
indications for weaning from vent - Correct Answer underlying process that required the vent is
corrected
maintaining oxygen status
no presser support- levophed, epinephrine, etc.
Pa02 >80, FI02 of 0.5, and PEEP <8.0 cm H20
prior to seperation from the vent proceed with this ...... to determine if pt is able to dc vent - Correct
Answer trial of spontaneous breathing
Volume targeted assist control (AC) mode - Correct Answer the clinician determines tidal volume and
rate/ pt can still breath over the vent. example: pt gets RR of 12 but has an additional 2 breaths on their
own, pt will still breathe 14 breaths/min. tidal volume is based on the vent.
