basic patient assessment Flashcards
what can be viewed from the door
color rr breathing pattern use of accessory muscles chest movement easily heard breath sounds wob loc and monitor displays
when would you see an increase temp w/o infection
could be seen in post op patients with atelectasis
what are the top reasons a machine will not cycle
sensitivity set to low
auto-peep
high bias flow
abdominal paradox
what is total consolidation
a shunt
what are examples of physiological deadspace
pulmonary embolism, decrease in CMO, interstiial edema
if a pts co2 changes but ME didn’t change then what was the cause
body physiological change
what is normal deadspace
150
why would it be impossible to get a plateau pressure
bc some patients have to high rr and they can’t hold their breath
why is plateau pressure higher than map
bc plateau pressure doesn’t’ include the expiatory phase
what pressures does map measure
insp and exp phase
what is the 5 step protocol
to minimize over inflation leading to tracheal necrosis
if a high volume low pressure cuff requires more than 5ml for inflation what does that mean
the tube is prob to small
if steps 1-4 cant’ be maintained for the cuff pressure protocol what should be done
follow up evaluation of the patient for tracheal stenosis should be performed for at least 1 year after discharge
based off of a pressure volume curve would there be a change in compliance or resistance for a patient with a pulmonary emboli
no
based off of a pressure volume curve would there be a change for a pt with mucus plugging and bronchospasm
large change in pressure and small change in volume
