(2-08-17) Patient Monitoring and Procedure Recovery Flashcards
what is the ADA standard 1 of IV sedation?
-qualified ppl shall be present in the room throughout the conduct of all GA, regional anesthetics, and monitored anesthesia
what is the ADA standard 2 of sedation?
during all anesthetics, the pt's: -oxygenation -ventilation -circulation -temperature shall be continually evaluated
for GA, is a breathing tube required?
no, although it is commonly practiced
what does enteral mean?
oral
*parenteral means IV
what levels of anesthesia does conscious sedations cover?
minimal and moderate
what are the 5 things to monitor according to the ADA?
- consciousness
- oxygenation
- ventilation
- circulation
- temp
what type of sedation has normal response to verbal stiulation
minimal
what type of sedation has *purposeful response to verbal or tactile sensation?
moderate (conscious) sedation
what type of sedation has **purposeful response following repeated or painful stimulation
deep sedation
what type of sedation has unarousal even with painful stimulus
general A
what is a Bispectral index monitor used for? (EEG)
used to determine where a pt is on the spectrum of sedation
what is the % of atmospheric O2?
21%
how do you monitor oxygenation?
arterial blood gas (ABG)
what is the normal pH range for a person?
7.35-7.45
what is the normal PaCO2 for a person?
35-45 mmHg
what is the normal HCO3- for a person?
22-26 mEq/L
what is the normal PaO2 for a person?
70-100 mmHg
in what order on an EEG do the readings appear?
pH / PaCO2 / HCO3- / PaO2
*normal reading = 7.40 / 40 / 24 / 90
how is respiratory alkylosis caused?
when you HYPERventilate
7.46 / 34 / 24 / 84
what is cyanosis and what are the clinical signs?
- a lot of deoxygenated hemoglobin build up
- blue fingers … “chin-lift” to open airways
how is respiratory acidosis caused?
when you HYPOventilate
hypoxemia - low O2 (PaO2 less than 60%)
7.34 / 46 / 24 / 59
what is the primary driver of ventilation?
HCO2- !!!!!!!
this means that you can hold air as long as you want but it will not effect % O2 saturation
But, this can be overcome by CNS during sedation
what respiratory volume determines how long a person has until they desaturate their oxygen?
residual volume (how much air is left in the lungs after she has forced out as much as she can)
what are we attempting to do with supplemental O2?
affect the A-a gradient (alveolar/atriolar)
