Outline
Why intubate? causes of
respiratory failure
How to intubate? Pharmacology
of intubation, tools for intubation
What do to once intubated types
of mechanical ventilation
Respiratory Failure
shunt
V/Q mismatch
Hypoventilation
Diffusion impairment
Low inspired oxygen
Hypoxemic
respiratory
failure
(PaO2 <60)
Increased airway
resistance
Reduced effort/drive
Decreased lung volume
for gas exchange
Hypercapnic
respiratory
failure
(PaCO2>50)

Conventional
Modes of Ventilation
Set pressure delivered with every
breath
Pressure
Control
Set volume delivered with every

Volume
Control

Pressure
regulated
volume control
Non-Conventional
Modes of Ventilation
A constant distending pressure with
pressure variations alternating around the
MAP at very high rates
hypoxic respiratory failure
patients usually require neuromuscular
blockade
HFOV
Two levels of positive airway pressure;
most time spent at high pressure with a
brief expiratory release to facilitate
ventilation
hypoxic respiratory failure
allows patient to be awake
APRV
Ventilator Adjustments
Hypoxia
Increase FiO2
Increase PEEP
