Question
Answer
Oxygen concentration in room air   21%  
🗑
Hypoxemia vs. Hypoxia   Emia:decreased oxygen in blood, Oxia:decreased oxygen supply to tissues  
🗑
Manifestation r/t Hypoxemia   Changes in mental status, Dyspnea, Increased BP, Changes in HR, Dysrhythmias  
🗑
Late sign r/t Hypoxemia   Central cyanosis  
🗑
Oxygen toxicity occurs when   Too high O concentration for an extended period of time  
🗑
Hypoxemic vs. Circulatory vs. Anemic vs. Histotoxic Hypoxias   Hyp:decreased O in blood, C:inadequate capillary circulation, A:ineffective hemoglobin concentration, Histo:caused by toxic substance  
🗑
Stimulus for respiration r/t COPD   Decrease in blood O  
🗑
Normal stimulus r/t Respiration   Elevated CO2  
🗑
Cannula vs. Partial rebreather vs. Non-rebreather vs. Venturi r/t O flow rate   C:1-6 L/min, P:8-11 L/min, N:12 L/min, V:4-8 L/min  
🗑
Low-flow vs. High-flow oxygen delivery systems   LF:combines O w/Pt's inspiration & inspired O changes, HF:Pt's that require constant and precise amount of O  
🗑
Reservoir bags must remain inflated during   Inspiration and expiration  
🗑
Non-rebreathing masks prevent   Room air from entering mask during inhalation  
🗑
Noninvasive mask that provides most reliable/accurate O concentration   Venturi mask  
🗑
Venturi mask r/t COPD   Accurate O supplementation avoid suppressing hypoxic drive  
🗑
Amount of O dissolved in plasma r/t Hyperbaric O therapy   O level in plasma increases, O levels in tissues increases  
🗑
Humidity r/t O therapy   Counteracts dry, irritating effects of compressed O, Moistens secretions  
🗑
Method of deep breathing encouraging Pt to inhale slowly and deeply   Incentive spirometry  
🗑
Incentive spirometry functions   Maximize lung inflation, Prevent/reduce atelectasis  
🗑
Volume vs. Flow spirometers   V:increases volume of inhaled air gradully & volume is pre-set, F:same function but volume is not pre-set  
🗑
Proper breathing/Incentive spirometer positioning   At least semi-Fowlers  
🗑
Breathing technique to prepare for nebulizer use   Diaphragmatic breathing  
🗑
Area of body r/t Diaphragmatic breathing   Abd protrudes as far as possible  
🗑
Time r/t Postural drainage   2-4x a day, Before meals, Bedtime  
🗑
Intervention d/t Pt inability to cough   Sunction secretions  
🗑
Percussion technique r/t Secretion loosening   Cup hands and lightly strike chest wall, Wrists are alternately flexed  
🗑
Technique that applies compression to chest wall   Vibration  
🗑
Vibration is done while Pt is   Exhaling  
🗑
Breathing retraining are exercises and practices to achieve more efficient and controlled   Ventilation & decrease work of breathing  
🗑
Pt's in which breathing retraining is indicated   COPD and dyspnea  
🗑
Examples r/t breathing retraining exercises   Diaphragmatic breathing, Pursed-lip breathing  
🗑
Pt's w/altered level of consciousness are at risk for ________ d/t _______   Upper airway obstructions, Loss of protective reflexes and tone of pharyngeal muscles  
🗑
Endotracheal intubation Pt indications   Cannot maintain adequate airway, Need mechanical ventilation, Secretion suctioning of pulmonary tree  
🗑
Cuff pressures are checked   Every 6-8 hours  
🗑
Intubation is used no longer than   3 weeks  
🗑
Disadvantages r/t Endotracheal/Tracheostomy tubes   Depressed cough reflex, Thicker secretions, Depressed swallowing reflex  
🗑
Preventing tube removal by Pt   Explain purpose of tube, Distract Pt w/one-to-one interaction, Maintain comfort  
🗑
Tracheostomy incision location   B/w 2nd and 3rd tracheal rings  
🗑
Inflated portion of tracheostomy tube   Cuff  
🗑
Long-term complication r/t Tracheostomy tube   Airway obstruction, Infection, Innominate artery rupture, Dysphagia, Tracheoesophageal fistula, Ischemia, Necrosis  
🗑
May develop after tracheostomy tube is removed   Tracheal stenosis  
🗑
Tracheostomy tube is kept patent by   Sunctioning  
🗑
Semi-fowler's position r/t Tracheostomy tube   Facilitate ventilation, Promote drainage, Minimize edema, Prevent strain on sutures  
🗑
Sterility r/t Tracheostomy tubes   Prevent pulmonary and systemic infections  
🗑
Cuff pressure limits   > 15 mm Hg, <25 mm Hg  
🗑
Preventing complications r/t Tracheostomy tubes   Maintain skin integrity, Maintain adequate hydration  
🗑
Cotton applicators moistened w/__________ during wound cleansing   Hydrogen peroxide  
🗑
Turned on before opening suction catheter kit   Suction source  
🗑
Suction catheter insertion depth   Just far enough to stimulate cough reflex  
🗑
Suction is applied while   Withdrawing  
🗑
Mechanical ventilation indications   Continuous decrease in PaO(hypoxemia), Increase in PaCO2(hypercapnia), Persistent acidosis  
🗑
Most commonly used Positive-pressure ventilator   Volume-cycled ventilator  
🗑
Volume-cycled ventilator r/t O delivery   Volume of air delivered is relatively constant  
🗑
Examples r/t Noninvasive Positive-pressure Ventilators   Nasal cannula and all masks  
🗑
Bucking the ventilator   Pt is out of sync w/ventilator  
🗑
Humidifier levels are checked   3x a day  
🗑
Continuous positive-pressure ventilation r/t Secretions   Secretion production is always increased  
🗑
Method to assess for secretions   Lung ascultation at least every 2-4 hours  
🗑
Prevent atelectasis and retention of secretions r/t Ventilators   Periodic sighs  
🗑
Permits talking r/t Mechanical ventilation   Passy-Muir valve  
🗑
Order r/t Respiratory weaning   Gradual removal of ventilator, Tube, Oxygen  
🗑
Indications r/t Tube weaning   Pt can breathe spontaneously, Maintain patent airway, Effectively cough, Swallow, Move jaw

🗑
Drainage system r/t Pt chest level   System is kept below Pt chest level  
🗑
Water level r/t Inspiration   Water level increase  
🗑
Normal bubbling   Intermittent  
🗑
