Two important Nsg interventions while caring a patent on ventilator are : Interpretation of ABG
& Pulmonary Auscultation
![Page 7: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

General Nursing Interventions
• Assess for decreased cardiac output and administer appropriate Nursing Care
• Monitor for positive water balance – Pressure breathing may cause increase in ADH- Anti Diuretic Hormone and retention of water
• Auscultate chest for altered breath sounds-Take CVP /PCWP reading as ordered -Observe /assess for peripheral edema -Maintain accurate I & O-Assess Daily weights
![Page 8: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Nsg Intervention .…
• Monitor for barotrauma – tension pneumothorax• Assess ventilator checking every 4 hrs• Auscultate breath sounds every 2 hrs • Monitor ABGs• Perform complete pulmonary-physical
assessment every shift• Monitor for GI problems- stress ulcer• Administer muscle relaxants . tranquilizers,
analgesics or paralyzing agents as ordered , to increase client machine synchronized by relaxing the client
![Page 9: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Gas Exchange
• Judicious administration of analgesics without suppressing the respiratory drive • Frequent re-positioning – to diminish
pulm. effects of immobility• Monitor adequate Fluid balance – observe
peripheral edema, I& O chart, weight • Pot. side effects of medications
![Page 10: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Promoting Effective Airway Clearance
Positive pressure increase secretion • Auscultate lungs Q2-4 hrs• Suctioning – physiotherapy, position changes,
- not as scheduled – but clinically related Observe for barotrauma/ pneumothorax• Humidification – • Bronchodilators, mucolytic agents – dilate
bronchioles and liquefy secretions
![Page 11: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Preventing trauma and infection
• Maintain ET /tracheostomy tube – position ventilator --- no pulling on tube
• Monitor cuff pressure Q8hrly – 25cm H2O• Tracheostomy/tube care Q6hrs • More care to immuno compromised patients • Replace Vent Circuits/ inline suction tubing – as peer
policy• Oral hygiene • NGT and use of antacids—cause nosocomial pneumonia
from aspiration of tube feeding and gastric contents• Semi-fowlers position
![Page 12: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Promote optimal level of mobility
• When stable -after weaning -- assist him to sit up in chair
• Mobility of muscle activity – stimulate respiration and improve morale
• Active /passive ROM exercise if bed bound – prevent muscle atrophy , contractures and venous stasis
![Page 13: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Promote optimal Communication
• Evaluate his abilities—Conscious?- can communicate ? he node or move hand ?
• Can he write? – right – left hand • Understand patient
![Page 14: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Promoting coping ability
• Encourage family to communicate – and verbalize fears
• Explain procedures every time to patient • Restore sense of control- encourage to
participate in his care • Inform his progress – if long time on vent • Stress reduction techniques – rubbing back ,
relaxation techniques ……………
![Page 15: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Nurse should assess /monitor the ventilator
• Check type of ventilator—Volume cycled, Pres Cycled, -ve pres
• Controlling mode- ( Controlled vent, A/C , SIMV)• TV and rate settings- ( TV is usually 10-15 ml/Kg , rate
12-16;lmt• FiO2 – (Fraction of inspired O2) – setting• Inspiratory pressure reached and pressure limit ( normal 15- 20 cm of H2O (This increase in conditions where there is increased Airway resistance or decreased compliance)• Sensitivity:( 2cm H2O Inspiratory force should trigger
the ventilator
![Page 16: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Ventilator…….• Insp to Exp Ratio(IE) usually 1:3 ( 1 second of insp to 3
sec of expiration) or 1:2• Minute Volume ( TV X RR ) usually 6-8 L/min• SIGH setting – usually 1.5 times the TV ..and range from
1-3 /hr… if applicable • Tubing. Water in the tubing – disconnection or kinking
of the tubing • Humidification( Humidifier filled with water) and
temperature• Alarms ( Functioning properly) • PEEP and/or Pressure support level, if applicable PEEP is
usually 5-15 cm of H2O Observe for Complications
![Page 17: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

BUCKING the Ventilator
Patient struggles out of phase of ventilator • Patient try to breathe out during the
ventilators inspiratory phase , or when there is a jerky and abd. muscle effort
Causes:• Anxiety, hypoxia, increased secretions
hypercarbia, inadequate minute volume , pulm edema…………….
![Page 18: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Bucking the ventilator …contd
Correct these problems before giving paralyzing agents …..otherwise the underlying problem will mask the condition and condition become worse• Muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, analgesics
and paralyzing agents are administered – to increase Patient – machine synchrony
• Obtain Baseline ABG – To monitor progress of therapy
![Page 19: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
ALARMS……Causes
High pressure alarms• Increased secretions in airway• Decreased A Way size due to wheezing or
bronchospasm• Displacement of ET tube• Obstructed ET tube – water/kink in tubing• Pt coughs gags, or bites the ET tube• Anxious pts – fights(Bucking) on VentLOW Pressure alarm• Disconnection /leak in the ventilator or airway cuff• Pt stops spontaneous breathing
![Page 20: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
COMPLICATIONS
• Hypotension caused by +ve pressure – which increase intra thoracic pressure and inhibit blood return to heart
• Air leak • Airway obstruction • Respiratory complications…. pneumothorax, subcutaneous
emphysema due to +ve pressure (Barotrauma ), resp failure • G.I alterations – stress ulcers bleeding • Malnutrition – if not supported • Infections• Muscular deconditioning• Ventilator dependence or inability to wean
![Page 21: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
WEANING …………….The process of going OFF from ventilator dependence to spontaneous breathing 3 stages………pt gradually weaned from ------------• Ventilator• Tube• Oxygen
• Decision is made on the physiologic view point by the physician considering his clinical status.
• It’s a joined effort of Physician – Resp Therapist & Nurse
![Page 22: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Criteria for weaningThe ventilator capacities include—Ability to generate Vital Capacity of 10-15 ml/kg (The minimum required volume is usually range of 1000ml in adult)• A spontaneous resp. force at least 20 cmH20• PaO2 > 60mmHg with an FiO2 of < 40%• Stable vital signs ..When the• above ventilator capacity is adequate
CHECK →
Baseline Measurements • Vital Capacity• Insp . Force• Resp Rate • Resting TV• Minute Ventilation• ABG levels• FiO2
![Page 23: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Patient Preparation must consider patient as a wholeConsider factors that--• impair the deliver the O2 • impair elimination of CO2 • increase O2 demand ( sepsis, seizures, thyroid imbalance) • Decrease in pts over all strength ( Nutrition, Neuro- muscular
disease) Adequate psychological preparations • Pt need to know what is expected of them during procedure Explain
properly.. • Assure the availability of Nurses near him at all time to answer his
questions… • Often frightened --- reassure that they are improving and well
enough to handle his own spontaneous breathingProper preparation will reduce the weaning time
![Page 24: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Methods of WEANING
• There is NO BEST method – success depends on – • Adequate patient preparation ,• Available equipment, and• Interdisciplinary approach to solve problems
![Page 25: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Traditional method:• T-Piece trials( one or more)Used with short vent assistance ( <2 days) and pt is awake, alert and breathing without difficulty , good gag reflex, and hemo-dynamically stable • Pt breathes spontaneously with humidified O2• During the process pt is maintained on same or higher O2
Conc than when on vent
T- Tube (Brigg’s Adaptor) --15 mm connection – Connects O2 source to an artificial airway. ET, tracheostomy. • Recommended rate is 10L/min • Inspired O2 Conc 24-100%Caution: Clear secretions occlude T-Tube lead to suffocate
![Page 26: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
When on T-piece – observe for signs & Symptoms of Hypoxia, increasing fatigue, manifested as:• Tachy cardia- PVCs, Ischemic ECC changes• Restlessness• RR > 35/mt • Use of accessory muscles for breathing• Paradoxical chest movement
![Page 27: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
If tolerating T –piece trial……….ABG – 20mts after spont. breathing at a constant FiO2 ( Alveolar-Arterial equalization occur15-20mins)• If ABG↓—exhaustion--- hypoxia---→ hook
back to vent• Wean on and off(Pt who had prolonged vent support need gradual weaning process – even weeks) • Primarily weaned during day time and placed
back on Vent during night
![Page 28: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
SIMV – Method In pts who – satisfies all criteria for weaning but cannot have spontaneous breathing for long time SIMV for weaning--- observe the following • Respiratory Rate • Minute Volume• Spont /Machine Breaths & TV• FiO2• ABG levels No deterioration on parameters--- adequate TV , vent resp gradually decreased-- then weaning is completePressure support is used as an adjunct to SIMV weaning – to support insp. pressure ,and boost the spontaneous breaths. PS is reduced gradually as pts strength increases
![Page 29: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Successful weaning is supplemented by intensive pulm care like---• O2 therapy• ABG evaluation• Pulse oxymetry• Bronchodilator therapy• Chest physio• Adequate Nutrition, hydration,
humidification, • Incentive spirometry
![Page 30: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Weaning from TubeET/TT removed only if following criterion met• Spontaneous ventilation is adequate• Pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes are active• Pt maintain adequate airway and can
swallow, move the jaw clench teeth , voluntary cough is effective to bring out secretion
Before the tube is removed—a trail with nose/mouth breathing is done – Deflating cuff, using fenestrated tube etc
![Page 31: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Weaning from O2• Pt successfully weaned---- and has adequate
respiratory function – weaned from O2FIO2 is gradually reduced until PO2 is in range of 80-100 mmHg while breathing in Room air • If R air PO2 less than 70 supplementary O2
recommended
![Page 32: Caring patient on Mechanical Ventilator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062901/58f9b2d8760da3da068bcfe7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
• Long tern ventilated pt need aggressive-
judicious NUTRITIONAL support as Resp. musculature( Diaphragm & intercostal muscles) quickly become weak or atrophied after a few days of Mech. Ventilation – especially if nutrition is inadequate, • High CHO diet increase CO2—thus
increase the work of breathing –
