Critical Care Concepts: Pulmonary Therapy Management
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dosage quantifiers for oxygen administration. | Liters per minute or FiO2 Percent |
| True or false: Oxygen is withheld in critical situations? | False. Oxygen is NEVER withheld in critical situations. |
| How is Oxygen need determined? | SaO2 ABG (PaO2) SVO2 |
| Where should the resting oxygen SaO2 be kept? | Greater than 90% |
| What should the resting PaO2 be? | Greater than 60 mmHg |
| What is the SaO2 when PaO2 is 60 mmHg? | 90% |
| What apparatus is used to deliver Oxygen at a low flow rate? | Nasal Cannula |
| What oxygen delivery apparatuses use a reservoir? | Mask Partial non-rebreather mask Non-rebreather mask |
| What apparatus is used to deliver Oxygen at a HIGH flow rate? | Air entrapment mask |
| What is the pathophysiology of absorption atelectasis? | Nitrogen keeps alveoli open. High oxygen levels and low nitrogen levels lead to a greater amount of oxygen absorbed into the capillary bed than nitrogen can be replaced and the alveoli collapse. |
| When is there a risk for oxygen toxicity? | When the FiO2 of oxygen delivery is greater than 50% for greater than 24 hours. |
| What are some complications of high oxygen delivery? | Atelectasis Increased oxygen free radicals Pulmonary fibrosis Cellular proliferation Fluid leakage into the interstitial space |
| What are the clinical manifestations of oxygen toxicity? | Substernal chest pain Tracheal irritation - cough Pleural pain - dyspnea Xray will show atelectasis |
| What the interventions to correct oxygen toxicity? | Decrease FiO2 |
| What is the difference between the clinical manifestations of oxygen toxicity and the resulting cellular changes. | The clinical manifestations are reversible. Cellular changes are permanent. |
| When is an artificial airway indicated? | Respiratory insufficiency or failure (ARDS) Airway obstruction Ineffective clearance of secretions Mechanical Ventilation Absence of protective reflexes |
| What are the routes that can be used with a pharyngeal airway? | Oral Nasal |
| What are the routes that can be used with an ET tube? | Oral Nasal |
| How is placement of an artificial confirmed? | Bilateral breath sounds End tidal CO2 |
| What some complications of |
