Q

Chest thrust

A

Chest thrusts are similar to abdominal thrusts
except that they compress the chest rather than
the abdomen to create pressure in the lungs and
airway

Q

Care for (FBAO) Unresponsive child or adult

A

performing each set of 30 chest
compressions

give fist ventilation

look inside the patient’s mouth.
If you see an object, carefully remove it.

To do
so, grasp the tongue and lower jaw and lift, then
sweep the object out using a finger sweep

open the airway and attempt to ventilate.
If your breath goes in, give a second breath.

A

infant position supine in forearms
place 2 fingers just below sternum give 5 chest thrust lay infant on its belly and give 5 back blow continue until infant goes unresponsive. if the object is to be seen remove it

Q

Care for (FBAO) unresponsive infant

A

30 sets of compression
see if the object is seen ( be gentle removing infants FBAO soft palates are very susceptible for injury
give ventilation if chest doesnt rise reposition head and attempt to give another one if there is still no chest rise repeat the whole process

Q

Emphysema is a disease in which the alveoli lose
their elasticity and become distended with trapped
air.

21
Q

Bronchopasm

A

Bronchospasm is a condition that affects the
terminal bronchioles, the portion immediately
before the alveoli.

22
Q

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

A

a serious lung condition that causes low blood oxygen. Causes fluid build up or leaking in the lungs

23
Q

Asthma

A

Asthma is a condition that narrows the air
passages and makes breathing difficult.

24
Q

Nebulization

A

A small-volume nebulizer is a special mask
designed to administer aerosolized (mist)
medication.

25
Q

Pneumonia

A

is a term used to describe a group
of illnesses characterized by lung infection and
fluid- or pus-filled alveoli that results in hypoxia.

26
Q

Hypoxia

A

low blood pressure

27
Q

Pulmonary embolism

A

is caused by a blockage (embolus) of a pulmonary artery by a clot or other foreign material that has traveled from another part of the circulatory system

28
Q

Acute pulmonary edema

A

can be caused by heart or
lung damage

29
Q

ASSISTED VENTILATION

A

technique for delivering
atmospheric air and/or oxygen into a patient’s
lungs when his or her breathing is inadequate.

30
Q

Syncope

A

fainting

31
Q

Hypotension

A

Reduce in blood pressure

32
Q

Tachycardia

A

rapid pulse

33
Q

Hyperventilation

A

which a person’s respiration rate is significantly higher than usual.

34
Q

RESUSCITATION DEVICES

A

Resuscitation devices are used when providing
assisted ventilation for a patient in respiratory
distress or arrest.

35
Q

Resuscitation Masks

A

One of the simplest and most readily available
ventilation devices is the resuscitation mask.

36
Q

Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM)

A

A BVM is a hand-held device primarily used to
provide assisted ventilation, either to a patient in
respiratory arrest or to a patient whose respiratory
rate is too low or too high.

37
Q

Two-Responder BVM

A

first responded on the top of the head watching chest rise and sealing the BVM. the second responder provide the squeeze bag

38
Q

SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN

A

The normal concentration of oxygen in the air is
approximately 21%, which is more than enough
to sustain life under normal conditions.

39
Q

Indications for Supplemental
Oxygen

A
  1. The patient has been exposed to carbon
    monoxide.
  2. The patient is experiencing decompression
    sickness and/or injury (e.g. SCUBA incidents).
  3. The patient is suffering from asphyxiation.
  4. The patient is suffering from dyspnea.
  5. The patient is hypoxic.
  6. The patient’s SpO2 is lower than 95% hypoxemia).
40
Q

Oxygen Cylinders

A

Oxygen cylinders have a distinctive green or white colour and a yellow diamond marking that says oxidizer.”

41
Q

Oxygen Regulator

A

The oxygen inside an oxygen cylinder is under
tremendous pressure.

42
Q

NASAL CANNULA

A

A nasal cannula is a plastic tube with two small
prongs that are inserted into the patient’s nostrils
to deliver oxygen

43
Q

RESUSCITATION MASK

A

Resuscitation masks may have a port that can be
connected to supplemental oxygen.

44
Q

NON-REBREATHER MASK

A

A non-rebreather mask (or partial non-rebreather mask), sometimes referred to as a high concentration mask, is an oxygen face mask with low-resistance check valves along its sides.

45
Q

AIRWAY ADJUNCTS

A

An airway adjunct is a tube that is inserted into
a patient’s upper airway to assist in keeping
it patent (open).

46
Q

Oropharyngeal Airways

A

An oropharyngeal airway (OPA) is a device that
is inserted into the mouth of an unresponsive
patient.

47
Q

Nasopharyngeal Airways

A

A nasopharyngeal (nasal) airway (NPA) is used to
assist in maintaining an airway in an unresponsive
adult.

48
Q

Supraglottic Airways

A

A supraglottic airway (SGA) is used to keep the
upper airway open (create a protected airway)
and/or to provide unobstructed ventilation.

49
Q

SUCTION

A

Injury or illness can cause materials such as mucus,vomitus, water, or blood to collect in a patient’s airway.

50
Q

RESPIRATORY DISTRESS

A

life-threatening lung injury that allows fluid to leak into the lung

51
Q

CARE FOR RESPIRATORY
ARREST

A

the absence of breathing
