TEST #1 : OXYGENATION Flashcards

THESE INDIVIDUAL ARE AT A HIGHER RISK FOR ASPIRATION AND RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS DUE TO THEIR CHESTS BEING SMALL AND AIRWAYS BEING SHORTER

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HELP PREVENT ILLNESSES

WHAT ARE SOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS OF OXYGENATION

IF A PATIENT HAS A HARD TIME COUGHING UP SPUTUM, WHAT IS AN INTERVENTION USED TO HELP THIN MUCUS

THINGS TO REMEMBER FOR BRONCHOSCOPY

S/S THAT IMBALANCE OF O2 IS DEVELOPING OR HAS DEVELOPED

ASTHMA ATTACKS ; USED AS RESCUE INHALERS

• EX. ALBUTEROL

MAINTENCE; PREVENTION

WASH MOUTH AFTER USE TO PREVENT THRUSH

• Low-flow, most-used device
• Can deliver oxygen flows of 1 to 6 L/min
• May cause dryness of the nasal mucosa

• Low-flow device
• Flow rates of 5 to 10 L/min
• *Do not use for less than 5 L/min- may cause CO2 retention*

• Low-flow, has a reservoir bag to collect exhaled air. Not commonly used.
• Flow rates of 10 to 15 L/min
• Ensure bag is inflated

• Delivers highest concentration of oxygen via a low-flow mask
• Similar to partial rebreather mask but has valves between the bag and mask which prevents exhaled gas from entering the reservoir
• Flows must be at least 10 L/min
• Ensure bag is filled completely

• Continuous delivery of an air/oxygen mixture through a wide-bore nasal cannula
• Delivers flows from 30 L/min to 60 L/min and up to 100% oxygen
• Needs continuous O2 sat monitoring

• High-flow, allows mask to control oxygen concentrations
• Ensure ports on side are always open

• Used when traditional delivery devices do not work, such as facial trauma or surgery
• Flows 5-10 L/min

• Clear plastic box or dome that provides humidified and warmed oxygen to a baby or child

• Canopy placed over head and shoulders, or entire body to provide oxygen and humidification
• Avoid opening frequently

WHAT IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR DX'ING ASTHMA

VOLUME OF AIR THAT IS EXHALED AFTER MAXIMUM INHALATION

VOLUME OF AIR EXHALED IN ONE BREATH

WHAT WILL BE DECREASED IN ASTHMA PATIENTS DURING EXACERBATION DURING A PFT?

• Measures highest airflow during expiration
• Should be done daily in those with moderate/severe asthma and as needed
• Measure “personal best” 2 to 3 weeks after optimal asthma treatment and compare future readings to best

THIS MEDICATION IS USED TO TX CYSTIC FIBROSIS

• HELPS BREAK DOWN MUCUS
