RESPIRATORY MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING SPINAL CORD INJURY

Appendix J: Evaluation of High Peak Pressure on Mechanically Ventilated Patients
The following protocol is a policy/procedure used by Craig Hospital, Englewood, Colorado (undated).
CAUSE—Increased Airway Resistance CORRECTION OR ACTION TO TAKE

Water in tubing Secretions or blood clot in or occluding tube Kinking in tube Narrow E-T tube • • • • • Decrease in compliance Pneumothorax ARDS Atelectasis Restrictive lung disease

More frequent draining Suction first; if not better, bronchoscopy or change tube Bite block, change tube Change to larger diameter E-T tube • Improvement of lung problem • Check CXR (this is indicated if there is a large, dramatic, sudden change in pressure) • Check static compliance Diuresis (physician to order) • Beta II drugs • Steroids (physician to order) • Attovent (physician to order) Change filter

Interstitial edema Bronchospasm (wheezing)

• Hygroscopic compressor • Humidifier (HCH) (humidity filter closest to patient’s E-T tube) CHANGE BOTH FILTERS AFTER ALL OTHER EVALUATIONS ARE MADE IF ALL ELSE FAILS, USE A NEW VENTILATOR WITH ALL NEW TUBING AND FILTERS BRONCHOSCOPY

WHEN IN DOUBT, CHANGE IT OUT—DO NOT COMPROMISE PATIENT USE MANUAL RESUSCITATION BAG ON 100% FiO2 WITH PEEP VALVE IF PATIENT IS ON PEEP, AND CALL FOR HELP If ventilator is changed out, DO NOT remove tubing as manufacturer may need to evaluate entire circuit and vent.
