Question
Answer
List the 3 clinical objectives for oxygen therapy Egan's p.868   1.Correct documented/suspected acute hypoxemia 2.Decrease the symptoms of hypoxiemia 3.Decrease the work of the heart related to hypoxemia  
🗑
List 2 indications for the use of oxygen therapy Egan's p. 869   1. PaO2<60 2.SaO2/SpO2<90%on room air 3.Severe Trauma 4.Acute MI 5.Postanesthesia  
🗑
Symptoms of mild/moderate hypoxemia involving the respiratory system Egan's p.870   1. Tachypnea 2. Dyspnea/SOB 3.Pale skin color  
🗑
Oxygen toxicitiy primarily affects which branch of the nervous system Egan's p.870   The Central Nervous System (CNS)  
🗑
Low Flow Oxygen Delivery Devices include: Egan's 873   1. nasal cannula 2. nasal catheter 3. transtracheal catheter 3. simple face mask 4. partial rebreathing mask  
🗑
What is the proper flow range for an adult using a nasal cannula? Egan's p. 874   0.25-8 liters per minute  
🗑
What is the flow range for a simple mask?   5-10 liters per minute  
🗑
Why is the minimum setting of a Nonrebreathing mask 10 liters? Egan's p.874   To prevent the reservoir bag from collapse on inspiration  
🗑
Variables that raise the FiO2 received from a Low-Flow O2 system include: Egan's p.877   increased O2 output, Mouth-closed breathing, low inspiratory flow, slow respiratory rate  
🗑
Variables that lower the FiO2 received from a Low-Flow O2 system include: Egan's p. 877   Low O2 output, Mouth-open breathing, Rapid respiratory rate  
🗑
What is the tank conversion factor for an e cylinder filled with oxygen? Egan's p.851   conversion factor is 0.28  
🗑
What is the formula used to determine the length of time a cylinder of oxygen with 2000psi will last at 4 liters per minute? Egan's p.851   the answer is 2000 X 0.28 = 560 divide the answer by the liter flow 560/4 = 140 minutes or 2 hours 20 minutes  
🗑
What color is an oxygen tank in the United States? Egan's p.848   Green  
🗑
What are the pin locations on an oxygen tank using the pin-index safety system? Egan's p.857   The pin index hole positions are 2 and 5  
🗑
What effect does supplemental oxygen have on the heart of a hypoxemic patient? Egan's p.868   Supplemental oxygen reduces the need for an increase in cardiac output to meet tissue demand  
🗑
What effect does too much supplemental oxygen have on a patient with COPD? Egan's p.871   Too much oxygen for a COPD patient can cause a depression in ventilation by "knocking out" their hypoxic drive  
🗑
What causes Retinopathy of Prematurity? Egan's p.871   retinopathy of Prematurity is caused when low-birth-weight and/or premature infants receive too much supplemental oxygen  
🗑
What risk is posed by providing supplemental oxygen at an FiO2 greater than 50%? Egan's p.872   FiO2s greater than 50% can lead to Nitrogen wash out resulting in Absorption atelectasis  
🗑
Define High-Flow oxygen system? Egan's p.880   A high flow oxygen system is defined as a system that meets or exceeds the amount of oxygen required by the patient  
🗑
Names 2 types of oxygen enclosures Egan's p.888   oxygen tent and oxygen hood  
🗑
