CUSHING’S TRIAD
1) Pleural Effusion
VENTILATOR SETTING 2) Polycystic Ovary / Fibromatosis
3) Hypoalbuminemia
1) TV: 6-8 ml/kg (ARDS) 8-10 ml/kg
2) Pale: 6-20
3) Mode: AC (Assist Control)
SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent 1 mV
4) FIO2
713
FIO2: 20 / 4 = L
FOUR SCALE
- Full outline of responsiveness CT SCAN BLEED VOLUME
MOTOR RESPONSE
a) Thumbs up, fist or peace sign 4
b) Localizing to pain 3 DIAGNOSTIC THORACENTESIS DUE TO HEART FAILURE
c) Flexion response to pain 2
d) Extension response to pain 1 1) If the effusion are not bilateral and comparable size
e) No response to pain or generalized myoclonus 0 2) If the patient is febrile
3) If the chest has a pleuritic chest pain
BRAINSTEM REFLEXES 4) If effusion persist despite the diuretics therapy
a) Pupil and Corneal reflex 4
b) One pupil wide and fixed 3
c) Pupil or corneal reflex absent 2
d) Pupil and corneal reflex absent 1
e) Absent pupil, corneal and cough reflex 0 INDICATION FOR CHEST TUBE THORACOSTOMY
RESPIRATION 1) Pneumothorax
a) Not intubated, regular breathing pattern 4 2) Pleural effusion
b) Not intubated, cheyne-stoke breath pattern 3 3) Chylothorax
c) Not intubated, irregular breathing 2 4) Empyema
d) Breath above ventilation rate 1 5) Hemathorax
e) Breath at ventilation rate, apnea 0 6) Hydrothorax
LIGHT’S CRITERIA
ABG COMPUTATION
1) Pleural fluid protein / serum protein > 0.5
I. 713 (decimal FIO2) – PCO2/0.8 = I 2) Pleural fluid LDH / serum LDH > 0.6
II. pO2/I = II 3) Pleural fluid LDH > 2/3 the upper limit of normal serum LDH
III. (Desired FIO2/II) + pCO2/0.8
