A fluidics CPAP system is considered a ___________ system - ANSWER>>variable flow

Initial pressure settings for nasal CPAP would be: - ANSWER>>3-6 cmH2O

For bubble CPAP, the flow rate of humidified gas entering the circuit should be set high enough to rinse the system of exhaled carbon dioxide. - ANSWER>>True

Which of the following would indicate nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy is failing? baby is not fighting the interface FIO2 has increased above 0. CPAP pressure has increased to 12 cmH2O PaO2 is 85 torr - ANSWER>>2 and 3 only

Bubble nasal continuous positive airway pressure was first implemented by Jen-Tien Wung at: - ANSWER>>Columbia University Medical Center

You are treating a patient on nasal continuous positive airway pressure. with the following settings:nCPAP = 4 cmH2OFIO2 = 0.7It is advised to reduce the FIO2 first before reducing the pressure. - ANSWER>>True

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure should be considered in an newborn with: grunting PaCO2 above 60 torr pH less than 7.

nasal flaring - ANSWER>>1 and 4

Maximum pressure setting for nasal CPAP is: - ANSWER>>

Indications: - ANSWER>>- PaO2 <50 mmHg

  • FiO2 >0.
  • Adequate ventilation: .PaCO2 <50mmHg .pH > 7.
  • Abnormal Physical Exam: .Increase RR, grunting, nasal flaring, retractions, cyanosis, agitation.
  • Poorly expanded lung fields: .CXR, BS

Effects of CPAP: - ANSWER>>-Pushes down on the diaphragm -Prevents small airway/alveoli closure -Increase FRC -Increase lung compliance -Stabilizes the Chest Wall -Normalize alveolar ventilation -Decrease WOB -Increases water movement out of the alveoli -Increase Surfactant release

Contraindications to CPAP: - ANSWER>>-Severe cardiovascular instability -Choanal atresia -Cleft palate

-Initial flow rate of 6-8 L/min are standard.

Signs of failure of CPAP: - ANSWER>>-Decreasing pH: <7. -Increasing PaCO2: >60 torr -Increasing FiO2: >0. -Decreasing PaO2: <50 torr -Increasing pressure: CPAP>12 cmH2O -Apnea episodes -Bradycardia episodes -Poor lung volumes -Physical exam: Breath sounds, nasal flaring, grunting, retracting, CXR will assess lung volumes.

Weaning of CPAP: - ANSWER>>-Is pt stable? -Is pt having apnea episodes? -Acceptable vitals?Blood gases? -Decrease FiO2 first and then decrease pressure -Once on 21% and CPAP 2-3 cmH2O try Nasal Cannula.

Which of the following uses a variable or fixed orifice to restrict exiting gas flow? - ANSWER>>Flow resistor

Which of the following applies an opposing force to prevent gas from escaping? - ANSWER>>-Water column -Spring valve

Fluidics system uses the Coanda effect to direct gas flow to the nose during inspiration and away from the nose during exhalation. - ANSWER>>True

Which of the following is an interface that can be used for CPAP therapy? - ANSWER>>-Short double prongs -Long double prongs -Nasal mask -Single tube

Which of the following is consistent with neonatal lung physiology? - ANSWER>>-High opening pressures -Surfactant deficiency (premature infants)

Which of the following is a physiological effect of CPAP? - ANSWER>>-Stabilize the chest wall -Increase surface area -Pushes down on the diaphragm

Which of the following is a contraindication for nCPAP therapy? - ANSWER>>-Neuromuscular disease -Upper airway abnormalities -Untreated diaphragmatic hernia

Which of the following is an indication for starting CPAP therapy? - ANSWER>>-Nasal flaring -Grunting

Which of the following indicates optimal CPAP level has been exceeded? - ANSWER>>-Rise in PaCO -Fall in PaO -Decreased cardiac output

An increase in the power setting will cause which of the following blood gas value changes? - ANSWER>>Decrease PaCO

Adjusting the Power setting will have a direct impact on which of the following? - ANSWER>>Amplitude and Delta P

An increase in the MAP setting will cause which of the following blood gas value changes? - ANSWER>>PaO2 will increase

An increase in the Power setting will cause which of the following tidal volume changes?

  • ANSWER>>Tidal volume will increase
