🗑
show Ex. atelectasis, pleural effusion, pneumonia, worsening bronchonconstriction  
🗑
show SaO2= saturation of oxygen on hemoglobin**Does not determine acid-base status  
🗑
Inaccurate Pulse Ox Reading   show
🗑
show **<90-91% (12 hrs)= Report & corrective nursing action **<80% (4 hrs)= Hurry **<70% (1 hr)= You better run!  
🗑
show 0.8-0.9, Perfect= 1mL O2 per 1mL of blood, Abnormal VQ= hypoxia, most often done for pulmonary embolism or baseline for someone with ARDS  
🗑
Shunt   show
🗑
Silent Unit   show
🗑
show Poor perfusion=horrible blood flow to pick up O2, nothing wrong w/ lungs, ex. PE, decreased CO  
🗑
show Based on age, height, wt, sex, monitor the course of pulmonary disease, evaluate meds, determine need for mechanical ventilation  
🗑
show No..tobacco,bronchiodilators,heavy meal,sedatives,narcotics,distended abdomen. Instruct pt how to breathe for test= nose clip,tight seal  
🗑
PFT Results   show
🗑
show Maintain airway, prevent injury-may be dizzy  
🗑

🗑
show Lg bore needle through chest wall, position client in supine or sitting postion, affected lung accessible  
🗑
Low Flow O2 systems   show
🗑
High Flow O2 systems   show
🗑
show Flow= Force (# of liters) Concentration= Percent  
🗑
Oral Airway   show
🗑
show Advantages=easy to insert, preserves airway. Disadvantages=easy to dislodge,unconscious pts,no use in facial/oral surgery  
🗑
show Mechanical ventilation up to 100% O2, can be inserted oral or nasal  
🗑
Oral vs. Nasal ET   show
🗑
Indications for ETT & Mechanical Ventilation   show
🗑
show Only nurses with training can perform, RN-sets up equpiment, verify placement, check cuff leaks, monitoring location, care vent. settings, teach conscious pt. about gagging/feelings of suffocation  
🗑
Function Of Cuff On ET Tube   show
🗑
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI)   show

Procedure for RSI   show
🗑
Correct ET location   show
🗑
Verifying Placement Of ET   show
🗑
show "Lip Line" Q-24 hrs, women 21cm, men 23cm, move side to side but not up and down, x-ray is absolute look!

🗑
show Impaired gas exchange & Decreased cardiac output  
🗑

🗑
show Inflates aveoli, must be intubated or trach, creates decreased cardiac output  
🗑

🗑
show Preset volume, tidal volume delivered regardless of resistance or compliance, more frequently used  
🗑
Tidal Volume (TV or VT)   show
🗑
show 21-100% ex. ARDS, Can have O2 toxicity (lost nitrogen) or absorbtion atelectasis (alveolar collapse)  
🗑
show Vent only delivers TV & breaths per min. that have been set, total control for pt. by decreasing work of breathing, but can cause muscle atrophy=harder to wean  
🗑
Assist/Control Ventilation (ACV)   show
🗑
show Least control=used for weaning, pt. can take own additional breaths @ own TV, vent. rate gradually decreased, will not breathe as pt. breaths on their own  
🗑
show + pressure applied via facemaskor ET helps maintain open airways and aveoli >5cm Used mostly for weaning and sleep apnea  
🗑
show 3-5cm, increases amt. of air remaining in the lungs during expiratory phase, allows for reduction of FiO2  
🗑
show Amt. of pressure required to deliver TV, Plateau pressure: 30cm H20 or less, if increased=bad, decreased=good  
🗑
Low Pressure Alarm   show
🗑
show Pre-set peak inspiratory pressure limit is reached b4 venthas delivered set TV, Fix the problem! Check for obstruction, placement..  
🗑
If In Distress With An Alarming Vent..   show
🗑
show 5-10cm, pt. receives increased TV  
🗑
Sighs   show
🗑
Hypoventilation   show
🗑
Hyperventilation   show
🗑
show Uneven blood flow in lungs  
🗑
Decreased CO   show
🗑
Volu or Barotrauma   show
🗑
O2 Toxicity   show
🗑
show Reposition side to sidein mouth, release cuff pressures via protocol  
🗑
show May be caused by high vent pressure  
🗑
When to draw ABGs   show
🗑
Nursing Assessments   show
🗑
show Humidified/warmed air, HOB 30 degrees, position change, suction, ABGs, keep vent alarms on, correst bucking, decrease anxiety, respect sleep/wake cycles, high calorie need  
🗑
Weaning Phase #1 Pre-Weaning   show
🗑
show *Short term pt-linear *Long term pt. peaks & valleys *Psych support for pt. and family  
🗑
Weaning Phase #3 Outcome   show
🗑
Ready To Wean?   show
🗑
Weaning Guidelines   show
🗑
show 30 min-2 hrs, increasing time, stop before fatigue  
🗑
show Remove pt. from vent, place on t-piece which delivers specified FiO2 back on vent then gradually increase time (10 min or so) off until pt. breaths spontaneously for prolonged period  
🗑
show Gradually decrease # of breaths that machine delivers until pt. breathing totally on own. Vent is there for support, do not need to return to original vent settings  
🗑
CPAP   show
🗑
