Prone Positioning in ARDS is used when | pt does not respond to ↑ Pao2, also releives pressure off of the posterior aveoli |
o2 toxicity can occur when | FIo2 >60% for more than 48hrs |
Permissive hypercapnia | ventilate with smaller tidal volumes to allow paCo2 to rise slowly avoids barotrauma |

Chest Tube insertion | arm above head, hob 30, aseptic, connect to drainage system, CXR |
Chest tubes are for... | bringing back negative pressure so lung re-expands, removes air and or fluids from pleural cavity. |
WET Chest tube chambers | 1. Suction chamber filled w/20cm water- bubbles ok 2. Water seal chamber 2cm water- bubbles mean air leak- tidaling is normal 3. Collection chamber- never emptied. |
Diff between wet and dry chest tube systems | Dry suction chamber has a dial and no water is added to suction. |
Chest tube Management | Maintain patency, loosely coiled, below the body, report fluid >100, SQ emphysema, do not clamp (pneumo risk), do not strip, tape air leaks, keep sterile water nearby. |
Chest tube complications | SQ emphysema can effect airway if too much air is leaking, INFECTION, re-expansion of pulm edema, and if more than 1-1.5l is pulled hypotension |

DIC is | Bleeding and clotting at the same time- not a disease- a complication. Coag overdrives, IV thrombin increases, then fibrin, and enhances plt aggregation so much that it fails to clot anymore-hemmoraging. |
DIC labs | ↑D-Dimer >1.37 ↑PTT & PT ↑FSP ↓ Plt ↓ Fibrinogen |
Fibrin VS Fibrinogen | At the same time: Fibrin increases (clotting) and Fibrinogen decreases clotting = massive bleeding and capillary permiability |
DIC tx | Fresh Frozen Plasma, PLT, Cryoprecipitate, Heparin Goal is to prevent massive coagulation by giving the heparin- a balancing act |
