Pathophysiology of Hypercapnia
• Alveolar ventilation is the prime determinant of CO2 exchange during mechanical ventilation
• VA ~ 1/pCO2
• VA=(VT-VD)f
• Change in any variable affects pCO2

18
Causes of Hypercapnia
• Inability to sense elevated PaCO2
• Inability to signal respiratory muscles
• Inability to effect a response from respiratory muscles
• Increased dead space
![Page 19: Diagnosis and Management of Acute Respiratory Failure · Objectives • Understand the causes of hypoxia and hypercapnea • Know the clinical manifestations of respiratory failure](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022031511/5cc7685f88c99360678bc774/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Inability to effect adequate response from respiratory
muscles
• Imbalance between demand for respiratory muscle work and the ability to supply that work
• Examples of increased demand: bronchospasm, fever, low lung compliance, pleural effusion
• Decreased supply: poor cardiac output, malnutrition, deconditioning
![Page 20: Diagnosis and Management of Acute Respiratory Failure · Objectives • Understand the causes of hypoxia and hypercapnea • Know the clinical manifestations of respiratory failure](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022031511/5cc7685f88c99360678bc774/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

21
Manifestations of Respiratory Distress
• Altered mental status – especially anxiety!!!
Anxiety is a result of respiratory distress, almost NEVER the cause.
• Increased work of breathing
– Tachypnea, nasal flaring
– Accessory muscle use, retractions, paradoxical breathing pattern, respiratory alternans
• Catecholamine release
– Tachycardia, diaphoresis, hypertension
• Abnormal ABG – not always!!!
• Neuromuscular failure is different from above –monitor vital capacity – intubate near 15cc/kg
![Page 22: Diagnosis and Management of Acute Respiratory Failure · Objectives • Understand the causes of hypoxia and hypercapnea • Know the clinical manifestations of respiratory failure](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022031511/5cc7685f88c99360678bc774/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Oxygen Supplementationlow flow systems 1-10 LPM
• 100% O2 mixes with room air to determine FIO2 -definition
• FIO2 varies with patient’s breathing pattern– Rapid inspiration entrains more room air
– Deep breaths entrain more room air
– Rapid respiratory rate entrains more room air
– Patients in more distress get lower FIO2
• FIO2 is unknown since amount of entrainment is unknown
• Any humidity in gas comes from entrained air- wall O2 has 0% relative humidity
• Low flow devicesSimple Nasal Cannulas
Simple masks 22
![Page 23: Diagnosis and Management of Acute Respiratory Failure · Objectives • Understand the causes of hypoxia and hypercapnea • Know the clinical manifestations of respiratory failure](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022031511/5cc7685f88c99360678bc774/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
High Flow O2 Devices > 20 - 60 lpm
23
• Device provides 100% of gas to patient - definition
• No entrainment of room air if mask fits
• FIO2 is known and exact
• Relative humidity depends on the device
• High flow devices:
– High flow nasal cannula
– Venturi mask
– Aerosol mask – heated or cool
– Nonrebreather mask – some characteristics of both high and low

BiPAP or NPPV• Contraindications
– Cardiac or respiratory arrest
– Need for emergent intubation
– Inability to cooperate, protect the airway, or clear secretions
– Nonrespiratory organ failure, esp shock
– Facial surgery, trauma, or deformity
– Prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation anticipated
– Recent esophageal anastomosis
• Never restrain patients on BiPAP
• Precedex (dexmedetomidine) drip may be considered if the patient is anxious. Patient will often be calm if the physician stands by with the patient during initiation.

BiPAP Settings• IPAP 10/CPAP 5 is almost never correct
• Determine EPAP (PEEP) first based on degree of hypoxia and uniformity of infiltrates.
• IPAP – EPAP determines ventilatory assist. Adjust this at the bedside as you watch the patient. Adjust this delta to achieve exhaled tidal volume of 500-600cc assuming small mask leak. You have succeeded if the patient begins to look more comfortable.
• Rate is a floor, patient sets the actual rate.
• If patient is functioning on a hypoxic drive, set FIO2 to target O2sat 88% to 92%.

Endotracheal Intubation
“….An opening must be attempted in the trunk of the trachea, into which a tube or cane should be put; You will then blow into this so that lung may rise again….And the heart becomes strong….”
-Andreas Vesalius (1555)

Indications for Endotracheal Intubation
• Airway protection (outside ICU?)
• Relief of airway obstruction
• Respiratory failure or impendingrespiratory failure
–Hypoxic or
–Hypercapneic or both
• Need for hyperventilation - ICP
• Unsustainable work of breathing
• Facilitate suctioning/pulmonary toilet
• Shock !!!!!!!!!!!

30
Decision to intubate• Clinical decision-not based on ABG
• Error on the side of patient safety
• What is the safest way to navigate illness?
• Intubation is not an act of weakness
• Think ahead- if need to intubation is expected in next 24hr, intubate now
• Endotracheal tubes are not a disease and ventilators are not an addiction i.e. Intubation does not cause ventilator dependence

– ??? Decrease PEEP
• Goal IPP usually 30 cm H2O
• ARDS protocol: tidal volume 6 cc/kg IBW

ARDS• Decreased lung compliance results
in high airway pressures
• Tidal volume goal 6cc/Kg
• Maintain IPP 30 cm H2O
• PEEP to improve oxygenation
• Aim for FIO2 50% - O2 toxic at > 50%
• Patients often need volume loading
• Sedation usually needed and sometimes also paralytic

Case # 4
• A 25-year-old lady, Miss. Poor Compliance, is rushed into your Emergency Department. She is an asthmatic who on arrival is sitting forward in the tripod position, using her accessory muscles to breath. She is tachypneic, diaphoretic, agitated and unable to talk. During a nebulizer tx with albuterol she becomes dusky and poorly responsive.

Plan of care?
• Get ABG?
• Start BiPAP?
• Discuss patient’s “feelings” about being ill?
• Check her health insurance
• Get advice from resident (oops, he is running a code)
• Other?
