🗑
show It is the amount of water (humidity) the body needs to makeup from ambient air in order to achieve 100%. It is expressed as mmgH20/L of gas. The body needs 44 mg H20/L of gas.  
🗑
When does devices intended to help humidity deficit work better?   show
🗑
What is the problem with humidity devices?   show

What happens when there is a particle deposition in an aerosol therpay?   show
🗑
What are the general goals of aerosol therpay?   show
🗑
show 1. Fluid overload (monitor input/output) 2. Bronchospasm 3. Contamination 4. Ultrasonic Nebulizers should not be used to for medications 5. Dizziness may result if a pt. over-ventilates -Have pt. slow down &Use normal breathing pattern  
🗑
show 1.If no output - check medications, fluid level, device for proper function - Commonly need to increase the flow 2. If aerosol doesn't disappear during an inhalation, instruct pt. to breath thru mouth - Not thru Nose  
🗑
show Pneumothorax -Air &Hemothorax -Fluid &Air in pleural space causing lung collapse.If > 20% of lung need a chest tube(CT) based on X-ray &BS.Pleural Effusion -Excess Fluid causes Lung Spaceloss treat by inserting needle in space to relievepressure;insert CT  
🗑
show 1.Pneumothorax -Tube placed in upper chest, 2nd interspace, midclavicular line. 2.Hemothorax/Pleural effusion tube placed b/w 4th &5th interspace, midaxillary line.
