A 34-year-old woman was incorrectly diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer. Her entire lower jaw and teeth were removed and her face was reconstructed with bones taken from lower legs, suffering permanent disfigurement. It turned out that her lab sample was contaminated with another patient’s sample.

Sample must be valid - repeat if necessary (change of F I O 2, air bubble, venous admixture, wrong settings) Results must be valid (calibration, QA) Reporting must be complete (F I O 2, ventilator settings) Procedure must be consistent (MIP, RSBI, FVC) Clinical data should be applied (MAP and CPP)

CPP = MAP – ICP Brain occupies ~2% of total body weight Brain uses 15% of energy generated by the body Brain does not hold or store any energy of its own Brain relies on a small amount of glycogen in the astrocytes Low CPP reduces availability of oxygen to the brain Low CPP may lead to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIC) e.g., patients with hypotension, CHF, COPD Energy failure (duration sensitive) may result in cerebral cellular injury or death
CPP = MAP – ICP CPP: Critical threshold 70 to 80 mm Hg (mortality increases about 20% for each 10 mm Hg drop in CPP below 70 mm Hg) MAP: Keep CPP > 70 mm Hg (keep SBP > 90 mm Hg if MAP not available) ICP: Normal 8 to 12 mm Hg, Clinical critical value < 20 mm Hg
The pressure / volume loop is typically used to evaluate a patient’s _______ status. A. airflow resistance B. compliance C. oxygenation D. ventilatory
(1) Do not accept clinical data at face value (2) Make sure the data are technically valid and accurate (3) Interpretation must be based on complete data and supporting information (4) Clinical data must match patient’s presentation (5) Use clinical information frequently and wisely
