An _____________________ is needed for optimal care of the dying patient.

experienced team

To be of maximum help to your patients when it comes to complex ethical problems near the end of life, you must think about what?

your own attitudes toward dying and death

Only __________ of the population dies suddenly; the rest die more slowly.

A complicating factor of end of life considerations is the "illusion of ____________."

True or false:

Each competent patient has the right, at any time, to accept or refuse any form of medical treatment or testing. Therapy can be refused, even if it might prolong life.

True or false:

Medical professionals have a legal or moral duty to prescribe procedures or treatments that simply prolong the process of dying.

FALSE!

They do NOT have a legal or moral duty to do so.

What are some groups that are at high risk of having their autonomy compromised or even disregarded when it comes to end of life considerations? (5)

-elderly
-mentally or physically disabled
-poor, esp. w/ no health insurance
-homeless
-residents in skilled nursing facilities (SNF)

_________________ is a legal term that implies an absolute and unchanging condition.

The ability to choose, having considered the pros and cons, and understood the possible consequences of actions. In some patients, it may be partial and vary over time as their mental condition changes.

decision-making capacity

In which state are the terms "incompetent" and "lacking capacity" interchangeable?

What is it called when a patient's proxy follows the patient's expressed wishes before decisional capacity is lost rather than deciding on his or her own what to do for the patient?

substituted judgement

What are some indications for non-invasive ventilation? (4)

OSA (obstructive sleep apnea)
OH (obesity hypoventilation)
Neuromuscular dz
Acute respiratory failure (hypoxemic/hypercapnic)

What is ventilation without perfusion referred to as? (i.e. part of inhaled air does not participate in gas exchange, such as in a PE)

dead space

V-Q

What is perfusion without ventilation referred to as? (i.e. pulmonary vasculature pump blood to an area that is not receiving oxygen, such as s/p pneumonectomy)

A normal person breaths by (positive/negative) pressure ventilation.

What are the four possible triggers of mechanical ventilation? (4)

timer
pressure
flow
neural

Is flow or pressure triggering for mechanical ventilation thought to be more sensitive?

Ventilator trigger thresholds do not take into account _________________.

What does NAVA mean?

neural-adjustment ventilatory assist

What is VIDD? How soon can it occur?

ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction due to over-assistance w/ mechanical ventilation (MV)

can occur 18-69 hours after complete diaphragmatic inactivity during MV

Refers to the time required by the ventilator to achieve the preset pressure.

What are a few ventilator modes that I think we need to know, but who really knows? (5)

Volume Control (VC)
Pressure Control (PC)
Pressure support (PS)
Volume support (VS)
Neural-Adjustment Ventilatory Assist (NAVA)

_____________ is functionally similar to PEEP.

What are four criteria for ventilator discontinuance?

1. Mental ability to maintain patent airway
2. Resolution or resolving of process that required MV initially
3. Decreased need for inotropic support
4. Able to tolerate 30 min spontaneous breathing trial w/ no detrimental change in hemodynamics or pulmonary mechanics

Negative inspiratory force (NIF) of _______ to _______ is indicative that the pt is ok to extubate (even though a normal person has a NIF of -120 to -150).

-30 to -35

(indicator of how well the pt will be able to cough after extubation)

What is the most accurate predictor of a successful extubation?

RSBI (rapid shallow breathing index) < 105

Dynamic compliance takes into account peak pressure, while static compliance takes into account __________ pressure. Which is a more relevant reflection of alveolar pressure?

plateau

static compliance

What is meant by compliance of the lung?

"stiffness" or elastance of alveoli

decreased compliance w/ ARDS, hemothorax, pulmonary fibrosis, PE, etc.

_____________________ are implicated as one of the primary causes of ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) and increased mortality w/ ARDS.

high plateau pressures

High peak and high plateau pressures are indicative of _______________ lung compliance.

Reduced thoracic wall compliance, abdominal distention or edema, obesity, and other mechanical abnormalities can cause _____________ plateau pressures and ________________ compliance.

increased

decreased

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema

ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome)

What is the most common cause of death in a pt w/ ARDS?

MSOF (multi-system organ failure)

What are the three primary ways to harm the lung?

1. Repetitive opening and closing
2. Strain-tidal volume
3. FiO2/PaO2

Putting the patient in what position improves the outcome for pt's w/ severe ARDS?

PRONE (they should also be sedated if they are in this position)

What is the equation for RSBI? (rapid shallow breathing index)

RSBI = RR/VT (in liters)

Mode of ventilation should be chosen based on what two criteria?

optimal patient/machine synchrony

acid-base and oxygenation goals met

High ______________________ is one of the primary causes of ventilator induced lung injury

plateau pressures

Plateau pressure is used as a surrogate for __________________.

alveoli pressure

High peak pressure + high plateau pressure = ____________ lung compliance. What are some causes? (3)

poor

-abdominal distension
-edema
0obesity

High peak pressure + normal/slight elevated plateau pressure = _______________ resistance.
