Comp Appli Flashcards
aim to improve the processes of care and the performance of health care providers, engage patients, facilitate care from a distance, and manage information, improving health outcomes.
E-health
use microprocessors to control flow and pressure for triggering, limiting, and
cycling breaths.
Conventional mechanical ventilators
Some modes of ventilation are _________, with predetermined algorithms that take actions automatically within preset limits.
closed-loop
or adaptive
aim to enhance the patient-ventilator synchrony via automation that is highly responsive to the patient.
proportional assist ventilation and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist,
They control ventilator alarms and archive the history of set and
measured values, which can be uploaded to a computer.
Microprocessors
RTs use ____ to allocate and titrate respiratory care
protocols
What are keys to the effectiveness of protocols.
Consistency and timeliness of
implementation
match the characteristics of individual patients and their clinical
interventions, drugs, and diagnostic tests to databases of scientific evidence and drug calculations and generate tailored recommendations, reminders, or even standing orders.
Clinical decision support systems
is the use of telecommunication and computer technology to promote access to diagnosis, monitoring, clinical decision support, and treatment for patients
at medically underserved sites that are distant from health
care providers
Telemedicine
helps to provide additional support that can potentially result in more rapid recognition of problems and timely, appropriate interventions.1
Supplemental telemedicine
It is the breath type and the pattern of breath delivery to a patient
Mode of Ventilation
This is a mode of mechanical ventilation that provides partial ventilatory support in proportion to the patient’s inspiratory efforts
Proportional assist ventilation
an approach to ventilation based on the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the diaphragm.
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist
It surpasses the need for the medical physician to meet in person with a patient.
Store-and-forward telemedicine
Also known as self-monitoring or self-testing. It uses a range of technological devices to monitor the health and clinical signs of a patient remotely.
remote monitoring
It is a real-time interaction between patients and doctors.
Interactive telemedicine
Examples of telemedicine
Teleconsultation. Telemonitoring. Telediagnosis. Teletreatment. Telecare-provision.
Types of telemedicine
Store and forward and remote monitoring
In the United States, ________is the
leading preventable causes of death and chronic diseases.
tobacco use and dependence
A cornerstone of asthma disease management is
assessing patients’ level of control of the disease over time
computers calculate cardiac output, using the
thermodilution technique.
hemodynamic monitoring via pulmonary artery
catheters
The________ of the pulmonary artery catheter is linked to a computer.
thermistor port
must be in place in the event of computer system failure or downtime because of the critical nature of timely reporting of blood gas results and the need to be able to assess archived data at all times.
Manual backup procedures
use standard reference predicted values to aid in the interpretation of pulmonary function tests (PFTs), including spirometry, lung volume, diffusing capacity, and bronchodilator response
Computer algorithms
It is essential to evidence-based respiratory care. It enhances clinical expertise by providing information for the development of evidence-based, patient-driven protocols and it aids in clinical decisions
for individual patients.
Effective information retrieval
It is a far-reaching, rich source of
information.
