    I had a really stupid question if patient comes in with an asthma exacerbation and we already tried 2x albuterol Tx, Iv solumedrol , Wob is increased and we know pip will be increased already, when we intubate and mechanically ventilate why would it be okay to start with either pc or Vc ? Either or? I would prefer pc over vc only because keeps from barotrauma and and prevents Pt asynchronony? I time would have to be lower or rate too allow for complete exhalation? I’m just confused why vc would be an viable option?

    Sorry for the paragraph? I just can’t see myself putting a asthma exacerbated Pt on vc , because they are air hungry at this point from wob being increased , and want air in the air trapped won’t that increase pip so high and lead bars trauma or tension pneumonthorax? ( for example vc by set vt at 450 f at 10 so every 6 secs they get 450ml but air is still trapped in the lungs they trigger a breath again. I’m so annoyed by this

  • @RespiratoryCoach

    @RespiratoryCoach

    4 жыл бұрын

    Yes, starting in PC would be acceptable for acute asthma, primarily for the reason you stated, to prevent barotrauma. However, PC doesn't necessarily prevent asynchrony, or airtrapping. Whether VC or PC, with a rate of 10, there'a another breath coming every 6 seconds. Status asthmaticus is a very difficult disease to mechanically ventilate. The key for me is proper sedation with a focus on adequate I:E ratio and minute volume. Hope that helps, and I like the way you are thinking about barotrauma, airtrapping, asynchrony, etc. Strong work!

    elaborative explanation indeed .. well appreciated.. but I've a doubt ??.. from the formula for I time if we have a Vt of 500 ml , flow of 60 l/min then our I time comes out to be .5 sec .. and if we have set the respiratory rate at 15 l /min then our I:E ratio comes out to be 1:7 which we usually never do in routine practice .. I mean even for COPD max we go to 1:4 or 5 ... So how does this 1:7 value signifies our I : E TIME how can we use it for a practical purpose..

  • @RespiratoryCoach

    Correct. Increasing inspiratory flow will decrease inspiratory time in volume control. You can also reduce tidal volume, but that alters minute ventilation, which may adversely affect your blood gas. Some vents allow you to adjust insp time directly, but the same concepts are at play. Decreasing your set inspiratory time results in an increased flow. Makes sense. If you want to get there quicker, drive faster. Hope this helps!!

  • @RespiratoryCoach

    @RespiratoryCoach

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hello Martinia! Tidal volume is how much you are putting in to the patient's lungs. Flow is how fast you are delivering that set volume. If you decrease flow, the rate at which the volume is delivered, then it will take longer to deliver the set amount of tidal volume. If you increase flow, the set amount is delivered quicker. The time it takes to deliver the set tidal volume is I time. Thing about it like driving a car. If you drive 40 mph (flow) for 60 miles (tidal volume) your drive time (I time) will be longer, than if you were to drive 60 miles driving 70 mph. Does that help?

  • @RespiratoryCoach

    @RespiratoryCoach

    5 жыл бұрын

    We typically don't concern ourselves with I time in Bipap, as the patient should be triggering spontaneous respirations. Therefore, we have little control over I time, TCT and the I:E ratio. In the case that the patient isn't breathing spontaneously, then we should probably be thinking mechanical ventilation, and then the substance in the becomes relevant. Hope this helps! Let me know if not!
