Explain permissive hypercapnia and its clinical indication

/in /by

Due by Saturday, 11:59 p.m. (MT) end of Week 4 (120 pts)

Learning Objectives Covered:

Explain permissive hypercapnia and its clinical indication

Explain inverse I:E ratio ventilation and its clinical use

Background

ventilator.jpgManagement strategies for ARDS include correcting hypoxemia and acid-base disturbance, restoring cardiac function, and treating the underlying disease or precipitating factors. This is generally accomplished with mechanical ventilation at 6-8 ml/kg ideal body weight and the application of PEEP to correct refractory hypoxemia.

High levels of positive pressure may be required to produce adequate ventilation and oxygenation, but its adverse effect on cardiac function must be monitored closely. Some patients may benefit from pressure control (PC) ventilation to minimize the mean airway and parenchymal lung pressures. In PC mode the inspiratory time is increased and pressures are generally reduced, but the mean airway pressure may remain the same or slightly increased. This ultimately shortens the inspiratory time, inverts the I:E ratio, and potentially increases alveolar ventilation. As inspiratory time increases, and the elastic limit of the lung is reached, intrinsic PEEP increases air trapping and thus, may increase the PaCO2 while also increasing the occurrence of pneumothorax in an already stiff lung. These important considerations must be kept in fine balance with each factor receiving equal attention.

More information about ongoing studies for ARDS can be found at www.ardsnet.org (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Management of ARDS

A multitude of causative factors may produce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The clinical manifestations associated with ARDS usually appear within 6-72 hours of an inciting event, and worsen rapidly. The patient initially presents with dyspnea, cyanosis, bilateral crackles, tachypnea, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and use of accessory muscles on inspiration. A cough and chest pain may be present. The general clinical course is characterized by several days of hypoxemia that requires moderate to high concentrations of FiO2. The bilateral alveolar infiltrates and diffuse crackles are persistent during this period, and the patient’s overall health status is fragile as a result of the severe hypoxemia. Most patients who survive this initial clinical course begin to show oxygenation improvements and decreasing alveolar infiltrates over the next several days.

Permissive hypercapnia, allowing the patient’s PaCO2 to increase, is used as a tradeoff to protect the lungs from high airway pressures. In most cases, an increased ventilator rate adequately offsets the decreased tidal volume used in the management of ARDS. The PaCO2, however, should not be permitted to increase to the point of severe acidosis (a pH below 7.2).

Inverse Ratio Ventilation (IRV)

IRV is a subset of PCV where the inflation time is prolonged, (In IRV, 1:1, 2:1, or 3:1 may be used. Normal I:E is 1:3). This lowers peak airway pressures but increases mean airway pressures. The result may be improved oxygenation but at the expense of compromised venous return and cardiac output, thus it is not clear that this mode of ventilation leads to improved survival. IRV’s major indication is in patients with ARDS with refractory hypoxemia or hypercapnia in other modes of ventilation.

Prompt

Case Study: Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome History:

Ms. Y is a 23 year-old woman who was feeling fine until the morning of admission when she began having severe chills, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and fever of 40*C. The symptoms persisted throughout the day and caused her to seek medical attention at the local ED. Ms. Y had an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted at a local family planning clinic 3 days before admission. At the time of admission, she denied shortness of breath, wheezing, sputum production, cough hemoptysis, orthopnea, chest pain, illicit drug use, or exposure to TB.

Physical Exam:

-General

Patient is well nourished, alert & oriented; she appears anxious but there is no evidence of respiratory distress

-Vital Sign:

Temp 40*C; RR 24 bpm; HR 104/min; BP 126/75

-Chest:

Normal configuration & expansion while breathing; normal resonance to percussion bilaterally

-Lungs:

Clear to auscultation bilaterally

-Abdomen:

Lower abdominal tenderness to palpation

-Extremities:

No cyanosis, edema, or clubbing

Lab Data:

-CBC

WBC 15,500 (high)

Question #1

Does the patient appear to have a pulmonary problem at this time? Why or why not?

Question #2

Does the patient’s medical problem predispose her to the development of ARDS?

Ms. Y has been started on IV antibiotic therapy. Results of a uterine swab show gram-negative diplococci, and a preliminary blood culture also shows gram-negative cocci.

Twelve hours later, she begins complaining of increased shortness of breath.

Assessment:

RR 34 bpm; HR 120/min

She is using accessory muscles to breathe and chest auscultation now reveals fine, inspiratory crackles bilaterally.

ABG: on RA

-pH: 7.25

-PaCO2: 21 mmHg

-HCO3: 16 mEq/liter

-BE: -17

-PaO2: 62 mmHg

-SaO2: 88%

Question #1

What is the pt’s acid-base & oxygenation status? Interpret the blood gas and explain your answer.

Question #2

What pathophysiology accounts for the adventitious lungs sounds (fine, inspiratory crackles)?

The patient continues to experience severe respiratory distress and is placed on an air entrainment mask with a FiO2 of 60%.

ABG on 60% FiO2:

-pH: 7.26

-PaCO2: 35 mmHg

-HCO3: 16 mEq/liter

-PaO2: 49 mmHg Assessment:

-RR 38 bpm

-HR 134/min

The chest film demonstrates an onset of diffuse bilateral infiltrates in the lower lobes; greater on the patient’s right side.

Question #1

Interpret the ABG.

Question #2

What initial settings would you place the patient on? Include mode of ventilation and indicate Why?

Submit your answers in at least 500 words on a Word document. You must cite at least three references to defend and support your position.

What are the ethical implications of this approach?

/in /by

he idea of placing a tax on junk food as a social engineering approach to reducing obesity.
1. Should we enact this? Why or why not?
2. Whether you agree with it or not, assume that junk foods are going to be taxed. What five foods would you tax if you were told to choose them?
3. How high should the tax be in order to have its intended effect?
4. What are the ethical implications of this approach? For instance: Would some groups be hurt or helped more than others? How would the economy be affected? Would this be the government reaching too far, or would it be comparable to other effective social engineering policies (such as seat belt use or smoking reduction) that have been enacted and that we now take for granted?
Where does this lie on the balance between our right to eat what we want and our right to not pay higher health care bills because other people eat poorly and thus raise everyone’s health costs?
(These questions are just examples, of course, so please feel free to consider other ethical implications.)

IS OBEDIENCE DANGEROUS?

/in /by

 

Module Chapter 14 Discussion Assignment
One form of social influence is obedience, which involves “going along with direct commands, usually from someone in a position of authority” (Huffman & Sanderson, 2014, p. 406). The following video clips are replications of Milgrams’ study on obedience and Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison experiment. After viewing, answer the discussion questions.
100 words, substantive, and expand the discussion here is the students response
IS OBEDIENCE DANGEROUS?
To most of us we know that obedience means going along with direct commands, usually from someone in position or authority for example; at least most of us in life have obeyed our parents or guardians. I believe that obedience comes from a place of trust and a place of respect. Unless one is self employed most of us have bosses and when told to perform a task at work we immediately do it because of respect right? So in my opinion I think the teachers in Milgram’s study obeyed because 1.it was claimed to be an experiment and if I was in their shoes am sure in the back of my head I would think it is not as serious since it was not claimed to be the “actual thing” so my moral guards will be down in the beginning but as I go on with the experiment, it would be natural to question the act but because I signed up for this I would fear to ask to leave the experiment plus if I question milgram and he assured me that it’s okay and I should keep going then I think it would be automatic for me to finish what I started.
The four factors that influence obedience according to Milgram is; Legitimacy and closeness of the authority figure, remoteness of the victim,assignment of responsibility, and modeling or imitation of others.
Similarity in both experiments- participants in both studies had a difficult time ending their participation, and most continued all the way until the end. The reasons for this were similar in both studies. By agreeing to take on the roles they had been assigned, it became very difficult for the participants to back out without breaking the implicit social rule I spoke of earlier.
Difference between both experiments — Another ethical problem in Zimbardo’s study — one avoided by Milgram — was the taking on of a dual role. That is, he was both the “prison superintendent” and the principle researcher of the study. Taking on a dual role made it difficult for him to monitor the progress of the study and its effects on the participants objectively. He stopped the study only reluctantly when it was pointed out to him that the prisoners were suffering terribly. Milgram, on the other hand, was never present during the actual procedure itself, so he was able to remain more objective about any harm being done to his participants. So in my opinion I think Zimbardo’s experiment was more disturbing even though Milgram’s involved electricity. This is because in Milgram’s experiment one was aware of the consequences upfront while zimbardo’s no prisoner knew what would happen to them if they disobeyed the prison guards plus if there were guards who were nice to some prisoners than others then Am sure there was chaos among some prisoners because no one likes unfairness.

Marketing research is a valuable resource that guides organizations? decision making. As noted in the Learning Resources, research is used to help organizations identify consumers? needs and concerns and then develop marketing strategies to address them.For tApplication Assignment, you will evaluate elements of marketing research related to a particular scenario. Also in tApplication, you will consider the difference between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty and examine approaches to promote customer retention.Prepare for tApplication as follows:For Section One: Marketing ResearchReview the instructions for Chapter 6 Problem 6 on page 228 of Essentials of Health Care Marketing. In addition to considering how you will answer tproblem, think about the marketing-research process. What elements of the marketing-research process described in Chapter 5 of the text would you recommend the organization apply in tscenario?For Section Two: Customer LoyaltyConsider the following statement: Although it is obvious that dissatisfied customers will certainly switch, it has been found that even satisfied customers will switch providers or suppliers. Satisfaction in and of itself is not sufficient (Berkowitz, 2011, p. 236). With tin mind, think about the following questions: Why are customer satisfaction surveys important for health care organizations? What is the difference between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty? How would you assess customer loyalty? Why would tdistinction be important for a health care organization as it considers its financial investments in marketing strategies? What implications does thave in terms of attracting new customers versus retaining customers? What is the purpose of organizational branding? Pg 228 Chapter 6 Question 6A new group of primary care physicians has decided to locate in a suburb of Washington, D. C. After conducting some primary market research on the area, the group?s research firm has characterized the community as comprising boomers Gen-Xers, and a significant number of N-white collar workers, all employed by high tech and consulting firms located in the outer belt that surrounds Washington, D.C. What are the implications of tmarket profile with regards to:Several of the group?s older partners have announced their intentions to retire At a recent meeting the group has decided it wants to bring in 5 new partners over the next 12 to 20 months. The group hopes it can attract younger primary care physicians who are no more than 3 to 5 years out of training. In tway the group believes the group can continue to stay viable and grow, suggest a recruiting plan to attract tcohort of physicians. Customer Loyalty Pyramid
