-pulse
Infant normals Pulse: 110 - 160
BP: 60/40 mm Hg
RR: 30 to 60
Birth Wt: 3000g
APGAR: 7 to 10
Hemodynamic Normals BP: 120/80 (90/60 to 140/90)
MAP: 93 to 94
CVP: 2 to 6 mm Hg (4 to 12 cmH2O)
PAP: 25/8 (mean 13 to 14)
PWP/PCWP: 4 to 12 mm Hg
CO: 4 to 8 LPM
CI: 2.5 to 4 L/min/sq m
UNACCEPTABLE bedside ventilatory parameters VC: < 10mL/kg (or < 2 x VT)
MIP/NIF: <20 cm H2O
RR: >20 bmp or < 8
Vt: < 5mL/kg
Ve: > 10 LPM
MEP: < 40 cm H2O
Vent Parameters... Tidal Volume: 5 to 10 mL/kg
-------asthma/ards use 4 mL/kg
Pressure: Pplat from VC or up to 3 cm H2O
Rate: 10 to 20
FiO2: 40 to 60% or set to prior

Rate: 20 to 30
FiO2: 40 to 60%
PEEP: 2 to 4
Airway resistance PIP-Plateau
Used to indicate the amount of pressure support neccessary to overcome airway
resistance
Body box is most accurate measurement
Acid-fast Bacillus (AFB) Staining (Ziehl-Neelsen)
Dx of TB
Organisms appear red against blue background
Takes 2-3 weeks
- Albumin Normal 3.5-5.0 g/dl
Decreased levels are seen in liver disease
Angiogram X-rays of vessels (veins and arteries)
Evaluates blood flow to the brain, heart, lungs, etc.
