1 PROCEDURE (TASK): ROUTINE VENTILATOR CHECK I. KEY PERFORMANCE ELEMENTS Procedural Element (Step): Description of Performance: 5. Verifies current ventilator Insures correspondence between physician's settings with physician's orders and pre-set values. orders. Identifies discrepancies. Contacts physician regarding discrepant values. Readjusts discrepant values to correlate with physician's orders. (as appropriate) Correlates recent arterial blood gas to ordered ventilator settings. 7. Properly refills humidifier. Fills with sterile distilled water to indicated level. Checks for proper seal/leaks. 8. Checks airway temperature; Waits sufficient time after humidifier refill for adjusts if necessary. warm-up. Insures airway temperature of C. Checks/confirms airway temperature controlled alarm functions. 9. Checks circuit integrity for Drains tubing away from patient into disposal. leaks/obstructions and Checks/minimizes traction on artificial airway position. (repositions circuit). 10. Inspects and assesses patient Refer to proficiency evaluations: status (physical assessment, PATIENT ASSESSMENT vital signs, airway). AIRWAY CARE - CUFF MANAGEMENT ASPIRATION OF SECRETION SINGLE POINT COMPLIANCE Records pertinent observations. Notes recent trends in peak and static pressure, compliance and airway resistance, respiratory rate, spontaneous tidal volume, minute ventilation, pulse oximetry, capnography, and hemodynamic values 11. Correlates pre-set values Measures expired tidal volumes, compares with those monitored to pre-set value. (VT, f, F I O 2, etc.) Measures/records ventilator rate and patient spontaneous rate. Measure F I O 2, compares to pre-set value. Accounts for discrepancies in values. 12. Insures proper ventilator Identifies discrepancies in parameters of function (troubleshoots). ventilation/oxygenation. Differentiates between patient and mechanical problems. Solves problem or provides interim corrective measures. Disconnects ventilator/provides manual support if in doubt. 16. Records pertinent data in Updates flowsheets. chart and department records. Confirms (by signature) all entries. Notes patient status. Proficiency Eval. #1 (Routine Ventilator Check) - 1

2 II. REQUISITE PERFORMANCE VARIABLES: The student is expected to demonstrate proficiency in regularly checking ventilator function/patient status with the following patient groups and selected mechanical ventilators: Ventilator Bennett 7200 Adult STAR Hamilton Veolar or Amadeus Bird 8400 Emerson Post-op or IMV III. ADDITIONAL EVALUATION CRITERIA: Flow sheet entries must be complete and accurate as determined by the evaluator. IV. ORAL REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. Identify the likely causes and appropriate action necessary when the following observations are noted on a routine ventilator check: A. Patient Behaviors: V. SCENARIO QUESTIONS - tachypnea, tachycardia - restlessness, agitation - confusion, disorientation - somnolence, obtundation - dyspnea - headache - twitching, tetany, convulsions - asterixis 1. Data for a 100-lb COPD patient on ventilatory support are: Ventilator Settings Blood Gases Mode SIMV ph 7.35 Vt 700 ml PCO 2 60 torr Rate 8/min HCO 3 35 meq/l F I O PaO 2 58 torr What changes would you recommend at this time? 2. Over a two-hour period, you note that a patient's peak and plateau pressures have both been steadily increasing, but the difference between the two remains about the same. What is the best explanation for this observation? 3. While listening to a patient's breath sounds during mechanical ventilation, you notice an absence of breathy sounds over the entire right hemithorax. Peak pressures have increased from 25 to 50 cwp in the last 30 minutes. Percussion on the right is hyperresonant. What should you do at this time? Proficiency Eval. #1 (Routine Ventilator Check) - 2

3 V. SCENARIO QUESTIONS (cont.): 4. During mechanical ventilation on IMV of 4 breaths/min and Vt of 800 ml, a patient has a respiratory rate of breaths/minute and spontaneous Vt ranges from 175 to 325 ml. The patient is using accessory muscles to breathe. Arterial blood gas results are within the normal range. What would be an appropriate intervention in light of these findings? 5. A patient is being ventilated in the assist-control mode. The flow rate is set at 30 LPM. Vt is 1000 ml. The machine rate is set at 10 breaths/min, but the actual assisted rate is 20 breaths/min. You notice that the peak pressure has been rising progressively over the last several breaths. Pressure does not go back to zero at the end of exhalation and seems to be rising. The pressure limit alarm starts sounding. To correct this situation, what would you do? 6. A 150 lb. (68 kg) patient on an SIMV rate of 6 and Tidal Volume of 750 ml has a spontaneous respiratory rate of 20 and spontaneous tidal volume of 250 ml. What is his approximate VA? 7. On the ventilator being checked, describe methods of changing I:E without changing minute ventilation. Proficiency Eval. #1 (Routine Ventilator Check) - 3
