13) Early Mobes, Part 2 Flashcards
Indications for ICU admission
- Pt needs close monitoring
- Unstable critical illness
- Acute mechanical ventilation
- IV meds
Types of ICU
- Trauma
- Medical
- Surgical
- Neuro
- Cardiac
- NICU
What values need to be monitored in the ICU?
- BP
- Cardiac fxn
- Respiratory Rate
- O2
- CO2
- Glucose
- ICP
- CVP
- Temp
What are the 2 ways BP can be measured?
- Non-invasively w/cuff
* Invasively w/A-line
If a pt has an A-line, how should the wrist be positioned?
Splinted in neutral
If a pt has an A-line, what do you need to make sure of?
That the transducer is at the level of the R atrium
If a pt has an A-line, what should be avoided?
ROM & WB to the wrist
What is a swan-ganz?
Goes into the neck for R heart, PAP, & PAWP monitoring
What is a central line used for?
Give meds, fluids, & monitor CVP
How is ICP measured?
W/a bolt or ventriculostomy
Normal range for ICP
0-15mmHg
What is a ventriculostomy?
Drains CSF from ventricles if ICP gets too high
What needs to be done w/a ventric during mobilization?
- Drain should be clamped during mobilization
- Be level w/laser
- Recalibrate after session
What is a lumbar drain?
Inserted into the spinal canal to drain CSF
Should a lumbar drain be clamped during mobilization?
Yes
Which devices need to be clamped during mobilization?
- Ventric
* Lumbar drain
Femoral Sheath
Used for cardiac caths & angiograms
Femoral Line
Inserted into an artery/vein for short-term dialysis
If a pt has a femoral sheath, can you do PT w/them?
No
CVVHD
Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodialysis
Continuous Veno-Venous Hemodialysis
For critically ill pt’s w/CRF who need constant dialysis
If a pt is on CVVHD is it safe to mobilize them?
Yes
Open Abdomen Sponge
Used to cover pt’s who need to have their abdomens open for compartment syndrome, GSW, etc
Is it safe to mobilize a pt w/an open abdomen sponge?
Not right now, but research is in the works
ECMO
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
What is ECMO?
Pt’s blood is re-O2’ed outside of the body
Where is ECMO access through?
*Venoarterial or Veno-venous, through the femoral or jugular
Chest Tube
Inserted into pleural space to drain fluid/blood to prevent atelectasis
