Question
Answer
What are the 3 evaporation factors?   show
🗑
show Content(what you measure)/ Max capacity x 100  
🗑
show 44mg/L  
🗑
Humidity Deficit   show
🗑
What size aerosol particles target the upper airways like the larynx, pharynx?   show
🗑
show 2-5 microns  
🗑
What size aerosol particles target the parenchyma know as the gas exchange area?   show
🗑
show Particles >5 microns stay on at bends. Think of the pic of the particles at the bend in the tube.  
🗑
show Turbulent flow, Airway branching, Hi Inspiratory flow > 30L/M  
🗑
show particles between 1-5 microns. Time increases G.S. with a 10 sec breath hold deposition increases up to 10%  
🗑
What patient factors affect G.S.?   show
🗑
Inadequate Humidification results in?   show
🗑
What are the goals of Humidification?   show
🗑
show Bronchospasm with mucolytic and proteolytic aerosols(Asthmatics)  
🗑
show Minimum level of A.H. to aviod mucosal damage to upper airway is 10mg/L for spontaneous breathing. Pts w/bypassed airways(ET tube, trach tube)minimum 30mg/L  
🗑
Bubble Humidifier   show
🗑
show used in Vent circuits, Uses Wick or hydrophobic membrane(Membrane). Output 35-50mg/L. Lots of secretions  
🗑
HME = Heat Moisture Exchanger   show
🗑
show Baffles or plates to decrease particle MMAD  
🗑
Categories of Nebs   show
🗑
What's the primary goal of Jet Neb? AKA Air entrainment neb   show
🗑
show Deliver Meds  
🗑
show Baffles.  
🗑
show SPAG and Heart/Hope  
🗑
SPAG Neb = Small Particle Aerosol Generator   show
🗑
show Continuous Bronchodilator delivery  
🗑
show Deliver Med  
🗑
show Patient Technique. Use spacers and holding chambers and use flow triggered MDI to reduce oropharyngeal depostion  
🗑
DPI   show
🗑
show High Inspiratory Flow - >40 L/M therefore not on infants or pts w/SOB. High Humidity causes Clumping of MEd  
🗑
show Thin and Mobilize secretions. Outputs as much as 500mg/L. Saturates the airways  
🗑
Drug Dilution   show
🗑
Percent Solution   show
🗑
Autonomic NS   show
🗑
Adrenergic   show
🗑
show Drugs that stim receptors sensitive to acetylcholine  
🗑
Anitcholinergic   show
🗑
Cholinergic Effects(Parasympathetic)   show
🗑
Alpha Stimulation   show
🗑
show Heart rate increase and contraction  
🗑
show Bronchodilation and vasodilation  
🗑
show Alpha drugs vasoconstrict to increase BP or decrease mucusal edema. B1 increase HR and Inotropic. B2 = brocho and vaso dilation  
🗑
show Bronchodilation, Increase HR, Dry secretions  
🗑
Catecholamines   show
🗑
show Alupent- Neb/MDI/Tab  
🗑
Noncatecholamines - Slower onset(15 min)/Longer Duration   show
🗑
Noncatecholamines - Quick Onset(5 min)/Long Duration(8-12 hours)   show
🗑

🗑
show Histamine and inflammatory mediators  
🗑
show Bronchoconstriction, Mucus Secretions, and Release of Inflammatory Cells  
🗑
show Maintenance of Asthma  
🗑
Steroids Agents   show
🗑
show Thrush, Weak Bones, Immunosuppresion(more pulmonary infection), Peptic Ulcers, Muscle Wasting, Hair, Moon Face, Fat Deposits  
🗑
What is the device of choice for Wetting Agents?   show
🗑
show Iso(.9%) = Thin secretions, Hypo(<.9%) = Thin, Hyper(>.9%) Sputum induction  
🗑
show Mucomyst. Disrupts the disulfide bonds in mucus  
🗑
Mucolytic Side Effects   show
🗑
Proteolytic Agents   show
🗑
show Pharyngitis, Laryngitis, Conjuctivitis(Pink Eye)  
🗑
