17. IV Tubing, Warming, Positioning, NG/OG, Albuterol, Misc Flashcards
primary tubing
standard set for IV
10 drops/mL
secondary set
“piggyback”
no one-way valve
- backing up is common
secondary set hanger
allows primary set to hang lower
secondary = faster flow
primary = slower flow
microdrip tubing
60 drops/mL
peds/slow IV drips
metal tube in chamber
buretrol
60 drops/mL
used for neonates
grad cylinder for exact volume
limits inadvertent fluid administration
Alaris pump tubing
20 drops/mL
slower than primary (50%)
less ports
peristaltic compress tubing can tear
limit bubbles for pump
Alaris pump common drug uses
sypathomimetics
- phenylephrine
- levophed
- epinephrine
- vasopressin
microbore syringe pump tubing
conduit for syringe pumps
NOT used as IV tubing extension
liberty alaris syringe pump refill
make sure you press “Restart” to avoid pt sedation becoming too light
IV extension tubing
7” extension w/clave
- IV J-loop
20” extension
- extension between J-loop and primary set
Ports
stopcocks
multi-port extensionp
ports uses
allow infusions to enter primary set w/o taking up luer lock ports
allow meds to reach pt faster
which port should you push drugs into?
the port most proximal (close) to the pt
IV filter
prevents particulate injection
slows rate of administration
- incr resistance = decr flow rate
drugs commonly needed to filter
mannitol
phenytoin
intralipid
antithymocyte globulin
buminate formulation of albumin
etc
blood tubing
y-spike
filter
warming required
hand pump
y-spike
allows normal saline and blood product to be in line at the same time
blood tubing filter size and use
170 micrometer
used for:
- transfusion PRBC
- FFP
- platelets
removes coagulated blood
thermoregulation
Afferent Input
Central control
Efferent Responses
Afferent Input
Arriving signals to CNS
cold sensing Adelta neve fibers
heat sensing C fibers
pre-processed in spinal cord
central control
hypothalamus impacts
- anesthetics impair hypothalamic reflex to thermoregulation
Efferent Responses
autonomic
Exiting signals from CNS
Efferent Responses Order
- vasoconstriction of capillary beds
- AV shunting / Incr MAP ~15mmHg
- nonshivering metabolic incr
- best in infants
- meh in adults
- shivering metabolic incr
- 50-100% incr req f/heat product
poilkiothermic
intrinsic thermoregulation failure
state pt is in during anesthesia
