Bronchodilator Route: PO SE: HA, dizziness, N/V Implications: do not use to treat acute attacks. do not give with meals
56
Monteleukast
Inhibits: leukotriene release as well as inflammatory reaction Should be given before bedtime
57
Albuterol

58
Theophylline (aminophylline)
Bronchodilator PO, IV, Rectally SE: N/V, tachycardia, diuresis, irritability, vertigo, convulsions, nervousness Implications: monitor vital signs closely. force fluids as clinical status allows. monitor serum theophylline levels, especially if the pt does not respond to the drug or if severe side effects develop

reduces inflammation PO, IV, inhalation, intranasal SE: fluid retention, hypertension, mood swings, weight gain, gastritis, hyperglycemia, insomnia Implications: reduce sodium intake. make the pt and family aware of potential for labile emotions. weight daily in the morning. monitor blodo pressure and blood sugar
60
Diphenhydramine
Antihistamine, H1 receptor antagonist PO SE: Drowsiness, anorexia, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention Implic: warn the pt to only use with the primary health care providers advice in the presence of bronchial asthma
61
Certrizine
Antihistamine H1 receptor antagonist PO SE: headache with limited sedative effect, not associated with anticholinergic effects Implic: monitor effectiveness of the drug. contraindicated while breastfeeding

63
Comolyn sodium
Mast cell stabilizer, Asthma prophylactic agent, no bronchodilator, antihistamine, or vasoconstrictor properties Inhalation - MDI or nasal solution SE: cough, nausea, nasal stinging and burning, throat irritation Implic: remind the patient that this medication is used to prevent asthma attacks, not to treat acute episodes. inform the pt that the drug is effective only if taken routinely (2-4 x / wk) Safety is not established during pregnancy and breastfeeding
64
Nasal Cannula: Low flow
``` most common. 1-2 L/min = 24-28% 3-5 L/min = 32-40% 6L/min = 44% Priority interventions: Check freq. that both prongs are in the patients nares. for patients with chronic lung disease, limit rate to the minimum needed to raise arterial oxygen saturation to maintain a level of 88-92% ```
65
Nasal Cannula: High flow
Max: 60 L/min 10 L/min = 65% 15 L/min = 90% Interventions: closely monitor the pts respiratory status for changes indicating impending respiratory failure Pharyngeal pressure is affected by mouth opening or closing, delivered flow, and size of nasal prongs. High flow nasal cannula oxygen delivery is often better tolerated by children than any other noninvasive delivery methods
66
Simple Mask
low flow: 5-8 L/min 40-60% (5L in min setting) Interventions: monitor the pt freq to check placement of the mask. support the patient if claustrophobia is a concern secure a medical order to replace the mask with a nasal cannula during mealtime
67
Partial Rebreather mask
low flow: 8-11 L/min 50-75% Interventions: set the flow rate so that the mask remains two thirds full during inspiration. keep the reservoir bag free of twists or kinks :Allows pt to rebreathe first 1/3 of O2 as it is mixed within the bag with 100% O2 to conserve O2.
68
Nonrebreather mask
Low flow. 10-15 L/min = 80-95% Interventions: maintain flow rate so that the reservoir bag collapses only slightly during inspiration. check that the valves and rubber flaps are functioning properly (open during expiration and closed during inhalation. Monitor SaO2 with pulse oximeter :highest concentration of O2. can be used to administer heliox. (helium used to deliver aerosols, reduce fer and anxiety for pts)
69
Venturi Mask
High Flow: 4-6L/min 24-40% Interventions: requires careful monitory to verified FiO2 at flow rate ordered. Check that air intake valves are not blocked :most precise delivery of oxygen.
70
Transtracheal o2 device
tube is surgically inserted into the trachea. devliers oxygen throughout the respiratory cycle.
71
Oxygen conserving devices
reservoir cannulas have a reservoir space that stores oxygen during exhalation. on subsequent inhalation the oxygen is restored. adding bolus volume.
72
Traditional Water-seal (wet-suction) chamber
Desc: 3 chambers, a collection, water-seal (middle), and wet suction control chamber. generally used to provide 20 cm H20 of suction Comments: Requires that sterile fluid be instilled into the water-seal and suction chambers. Has positive and negative pressure release valves. Intermittent bubbling indicates that the system is functioning properly. additional suction can be added by connecting the system to a suction source.
73
Dry-suction water seal (dry-suction)
Desc: 3 chambers, water-seal, collection, and dry-suction control chamber. Provides 10-40 cm H20 suction. Comments: requires that sterile fluid be instilled in the water seal chamber at the 2 cm level. No need to fill the suction chamber with fluid. Suction pressure is set with a regulator. Has positive and negative pressure-release valves. Has an indicator to signify that the suction pressure is adequate. Quieter than traditional water seal systems
74
Dry-suction (one-way valve)
Desc: has 1 way mechanical valve that allows air to leave the chest and prevents re-entry. Commencts: no need to fill suction chamber with fluid; can be set up quickly in an emergency. works even if knocked over. making it ideal for pts who are ambulatory.
75
Kussmaul Respiration
greater than 35 breaths/min. | IE metabolic acidosis, the acidic pH stimulates an increase in breath rate and deapth of respirations
76
Apnea
the absence of respirations for last for 15 seconds or longers
77
Cheyne-Stokes respiration
occurs when there is decreased blood flow or injury to the brainstem
78
SvO2
saturation of venous blood. this is lower because the tissues have removed some of the oxygen from the hemoglobin. usually 70%
