Slide 3
Respiratory distress Respiratory distress is a clinical impression
Slide 4
Respiratory failure inability of the lungs to provide sufficient oxygen (hypoxic respiratory failure) or remove carbon dioxide (ventilatory failure) to meet metabolic demands.
Slide 5
Respiratory failure Pao 2 < 60 torr with breathing of room air and Paco 2 > 50 torr resulting in acidosis, the patient's general state, respiratory effort, and potential for impending exhaustion are more important indicators than blood gas values.
Slide 6
Respiratory distress can occur in patients without respiratory disease, and respiratory failure can occur in patients without respiratory distress.
Slide 7
Respiratory failure Acute Chronic
Slide 8
The physiologic basis of respiratory failure determines the clinical picture. normal respiratory drive are breathless and anxious decreased central drive are comfortable or even somnolent.
Slide 9
The causes: conditions that affect the respiratory pump conditions that interfere with the normal function of the lung and airways
Slide 10
Respiratory Pump Dysfunction Decreased Central Nervous System (CNS) Input Head injury Ingestion of CNS depressant Adverse effect of procedural sedation Intracranial bleeding Apnea of prematurity Peripheral Nerve/Neuromuscular Junction Spinal cord injury Organophosphate/carbamate poisoning Guillian-Barre syndrome Myasthenia gravis Infant botulism Muscle Weakness Respiratory muscle fatigue due to increased work of breathing Myopathies/Muscular dystrophies
Arterial gas composition depends on : the gas composition of the atmosphere the effectiveness of alveolar ventilation pulmonary capillary perfusion diffusion across the alveolar capillary membrane
Slide 13
Alveolar Gas Composition P A O2 = P I O2 (PCO2/R) P I O2 = (BP P H2O ). Fio2 P A O2 = [(BP P H2O ). Fio2] (PCO2/R)
Slide 14
Hypoventilation V A = V T. RR low respiratory rate and shallow breathing are both signs of hypoventilation.
Slide 15
Dead Space Ventilation Anatomical Physiological V D / V T = (P a CO2-P E CO2)/ P a CO2 = 0.33 Increases in decreased pulmonary perfusion: PHTN, hypovolemia, decreased cardiac output
Slide 16
Alveolar Ventilation V A = (V T -V D ). RR
Slide 17
Hypoventilation The Paco2 increases in proportion to a decrease in ventilation. Pao2 falls approximately the same amount as the Paco2 increases.
Slide 18
Hypoventilation The relationship between oxygenation and hypoventilation is complicated by the shape of the Hb-dissociation curve Because of the dissociation curve, a patient who exhibits alarming CO2 retention might have a near normal oxygen saturation.
Slide 19
1. PO2 100 mm Hg= SpO2 of 97% 2. PO2 60mm Hg= SpO2 of90% When Paco2 increases from 40 to 70 mm Hg, a dangerous level of hypoventilation, might have a Pao2 that has decreased from 100 to 60 mm Hg and, therefore, maintain an oxygen saturation of 90%.
Slide 20
Thus: oximetry is not a sensitive indicator of the adequacy of ventilation. This is particularly true when a patient is receiving oxygen.
Slide 21
Lung/Airway Disease Diseases of the lung or airways affect gas exchange most often by disrupting the normal matching of V/Q or by causing a shunt. usually can maintain a normal Paco2 as lung disease worsens simply by breathing more. hypoxemia is the hallmark of lung disease
Slide 22
Ventilation-Perfusion Mismatch
Slide 23
hypoxemia due to V/Q mismatch & hypoxemia due to shunt administering Oxygen
Slide 24
Intrapulmonary Shunt
Slide 25
Diffusion diffusion defects manifest as hypoxemia rather than hypercarbia. Examples : interstitial pneumonia, ARDS, Scleroderma, Pulmonary lymphangiectasia,
Slide 26
Monitoring a Child in Respiratory Distress and Respiratory Failure
Slide 27
Clinical Examination Clinical observation is the most important component of monitoring.
Slide 28
ABG & Oximetry ABG /CBG/ VBG Oximetry - Oximetry provides an invaluable and usually accurate measurement of oxygenation. - important to recognize its technical limitations
Slide 29
ConditionLimitation Dark skin pigment Anemia Causes inadequate signal Bright external light Motion Decreased perfusion Venous pulsations Severe right heart failure Tricuspid regurgitation Tourniquet or blood pressure cuff above site Results in low reading Abnormal hemoglobin concentration Methemoglobin Unreliable reading (tends to read 80% to 85% saturation regardless of actual saturation) SS hemoglobin Saturationaccurate, but hemoglobin dissociation curve shifted to right CarboxyhemoglobinSpuriously high saturation readings
Slide 30
Acute Respiratory Failure
Slide 31
ARF most common cause of cardiac arrest in children. When presented with a child who has: a decreased level of consciousness, slow/shallow breathing, or increased respiratory drive, the possibility of ARF should be considered
Slide 32
First: to assure adequate gas exchange and circulation (the ABCs). Oxygen Administration to maintain . If Ventilation is or appears to be inadequate .. Intubation ? Need ICU
Slide 33
Chronic Respiratory Failure
Slide 34
CRF is seen most commonly in children who have: Respiratory muscle weakness (muscular dystrophy, anterior horn cell disease) or severe chronic lung diseases (BPD, end- stage cystic fibrosis)
Slide 35
usually has an insidious onset Most children do not have dyspnea. PH normal or near normal, unless.. Recognizing need careful monitoring of children at risk for CRF
Slide 36
Disordered sleep Daytime hypersomnolence Morning headaches Altered mental status Increased respiratory symptoms Cardiomegaly Decreased baseline oxygenation CRF often presents first during sleep Develops an intercurrent illness, Fever
