Negative Pressure
Respiration driven by process of negative intrathoracic pressures Negative pressure
Initiates inhalation and acquisition of O2
Assists to increase intrathoracic blood flow
Hemodynamic Effects
Equalization of pressures initiates exhalation and elimination of CO2
![Page 7: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Bronchi / Bronchioles
Cartilage structures give way to smooth muscle
May divide up to 25 times before reaching terminal bronchioles

Alveoli
Expand and contract with breathing Contact with pulmonary capillary beds for gas
exchange Inside surface coated with surfactant
Prevents aveoli from sticking together Keeps alveoli open
Atelectasis

Functional Residual Capacity
Lung volume at end of normal exhalation
Muscles of respiration are completely relaxed

Oxygenation
Process of getting oxygen to end organs and tissues Inhaled through lungs Picked up from alveoli on RBCs Off-loaded in exchange for CO2
Measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2)
![Page 13: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Ventilation
Process to eliminate carbon dioxide (waste product of energy production) Carried back through venous blood Eliminated through exhalation
Measured by capnography
![Page 14: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Capnography
The capnogram wave form begins before exhalation and ends with inspiration. Exhalation comes before inhalation

Respiratory Disorders
![Page 17: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Respiratory Disorders
A combination of many disease processes responsible for emergencies related to
ventilation, diffusion and perfusion.
![Page 18: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Respiratory Distress
Subjective indication of some degree of difficulty breathing Causes
Upper or lower airway obstruction Inadequate ventilation Impaired respiratory muscle function Impaired nervous system Trauma Bronchitis, pneumonia, cancer
![Page 19: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Respiratory Failure
Clinical state of inadequate oxygenation, ventilation or both.
Often end-stage of respiratory distress Signs:
Tachypnea (early) Bradypnea or apnea (late) Increased, decreased, or no respiratory effort Tachycardia (early) Bradycardia (late) Cyanosis Altered Mental Status
![Page 20: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Mechanism of Heart Failure
Frequently a chronic, yet manageable condition
Left ventricle fails to work as effective pump Blood volume backs up into pulmonary
circulation Most often caused by:
Volume overload Pressure overload Loss of myocardial tissue Impaired contractility
![Page 21: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pulmonary Edema
Cardiac and respiratory system impairment Acute and critical emergency Filling of lungs with fluid
Washes away surfactant Creates pink froth in sputum
Prevents alveoli from expanding Significantly reduces or eliminates ability for gas
exchange to occur
![Page 22: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Asthma
Reactive airway disorder Exacerbation precipitated by extrinsic or
intrinsic factors Characterized by reversible bronchial smooth
muscle contraction, increased mucus production and inflammatory airway changes
Persistent signs and symptoms can indicate a tenfold increase in the work of breathing
![Page 23: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Asthma
Evolution of asthma attack Mucus thickens and
accumulates plugging airways
Mucosal edema develops
Muscle spasms constrict small airways
Breathing becomes labored
Exhalation becomes difficult

Caution
Asthma Anaphylaxis
Causes Smoke, dander, dust, pollen, cold air, mold, cleaning products, perfume, exercise
Nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs, soy, wheat, insect stings, medications, latex
Symptoms Wheezing
Coughing
Shortness of breath
Difficulty breathing
Chest tightness
Face - itchiness, redness, swelling of face & tongue
Airway – trouble breathing, swallowing or speaking
Stomach – abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea
Total hives, rash, itchiness, swelling, weakness, pallor, sense of doom, loss of consciousness

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Obstructive lung disease Triad of distinct diseases that often coexist
Asthma Chronic bronchitis Emphysema
Traditionally refers to patients with combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema
![Page 26: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Chronic Bronchitis
Bronchi become filled with excessive mucus Alveoli are not affected Diffusion of gas remains relatively normal
Patients develop low oxygen pressures (PO2) and hypoventilation
Hypoventilation leads to high levels of CO2
and low levels of O2
![Page 27: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Emphysema
Results from pathological changes in the lung Permanent abnormal
enlargement of air spaces beyond terminal bronchioles
Collapse of the bronchioles
Destruction of the alveoli

Emphysema
Patients have some resistance to airflow, primarily on exhalation Hyper-expansion
caused by air trapped in the alveoli
Breathing becomes an active process

CPAP
Non-invasive ventilation
Continuous O2
delivered at a set positive pressure throughout the respiratory cycle

![Page 33: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Positive Pressure
PUSHES air into the chest Overcomes airway resistance
Bag valve mask Demand valve Intubation / mechanical ventilation CPAP
![Page 34: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Effects of CPAP
Increases functional residual capacity
Increases alveolar surface area available for gas exchange
Increases oxygen diffusion across alveolar membranes
Reduced work of breathing
![Page 35: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How CPAP Works
Maintains constant level of airway pressure
Keeps alveoli open (asthma, COPD)
Moves fluid into vasculature (pulmonary edema)
Improves gas exchange
Buys time for medications to work
![Page 36: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Indications
Severe Respiratory Distress / Respiratory Failure Accessory muscle use? Persistent hypoxia despite appropriate /
aggressive oxygen therapy? Marked increased work of breathing? Inability to speak full sentences?
Differentiate Pulmonary Edema versus other Respiratory Disorder

Contraindications
Respiratory rate < 10 breaths / minute Systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg Confusion
Inability to understand directions and cooperate with application of CPAP
History of pneumothorax History of recent tracheo-bronchial surgery
Active nausea or vomiting Despite antiemetic therapy by paramedics
![Page 38: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Limitations
CPAP is not a mechanical ventilator
Tight mask seal can create claustrophobic response Consider allowing patient to self-seal (hold
own mask) until initial benefits recognized
CPAP is powered by on-board oxygen supply
![Page 39: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56813c4b550346895da5ca2b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Summary
Pre-hospital studies have proven the effectiveness of CPAP in treating patients with severe respiratory distress, regardless of disease process.
