In manual ventilation you can increase the PaO2 by hyperventilating the patient, by increasing the respiratory rate and/or by increasing the volume of air that you deliver to the patient. If using a BVM for example, compressing the bag faster and/or harder will increase the arterial oxygen pressure, but there is a limit to what you can do with manual ventilation. Perfusion in the lungs has a major impact on PaO2. Also, the blood chenistry (anemia or CO2 poisoning) for example will dramatically decrease the PaO2. Sometimes no matter how much you hyperventilate the person, low PaO2 can't be corrected.
What else can I help you with?
What are some reasons for not using mechanical ventilation?
Use of mechanical ventilation will be carefully weighed against benefit and possible risks. Some patients will require sedation to prevent fighting of the ventilator, which can increase the risk of complications.
What is the definition of mechanical ventilation?
Mechanical ventilation is the use of a mechanical device (machine) to inflate and deflate the lungs.
Inboard boats after July 31st 1980 have what type of ventilation?
They have mechanical ventilation.
When is mechanical ventilation ordered?
Mechanical ventilation is ordered for patients in acute respiratory distress, and is often used in an intensive care situation. In some cases, mechanical ventilation is a final attempt to continue the breathing function in a patient.Mechanical ventilation may be required only at night, during limited daytime hours, or around the clock, depending on the patient's condition. Some patients require mechanical ventilation only for a short period,
In COPD the PaCO2 will increase but the ventilation will not increase why?
ecause of air trapping and ineffective alveolar ventilation
What is the formula for AA gradient?
PAO2 - PaO2 ****************************************** PAO2 is the Alveolar Air Equation: PAO2 = FiO2 (Pb- Ph20) - PACO2/R Notes: Pb = 760 mmHg Ph20 = 47 mmHg R = 0.8
What infants could be injured by mechanical ventilation?
Newborns with patent ductus arteriosis, a handicap affecting the pulmonary artery, are more likely to suffer pulmonary hemorrhage from mechanical ventilation.
Can you add windows to a house to increase natural light and ventilation?
Yes, adding windows to a house can increase natural light and ventilation.
Inboard gasoline boats build after July 31st 1980 must have what type of ventilation system?
Mechanical Ventilation System
Simple machines increase mechanical?
Simple machines increase mechanical advantage.
Inboard gasoline boats built after 1981 must have what ventilation?
mechanical
What is ramp pressure in respiratory?
Ramp pressure in respiratory refers to gradually increasing the pressure during mechanical ventilation to avoid a sharp increase in airway pressure that can lead to barotrauma. This technique helps to improve patient comfort and minimize the risk of lung injury during ventilation.
