Q

FiO2

Inspired O2 conc. depends on 3 things:

A
  1. Flow of 02 in the unit
  2. VT of the pt
  3. Pts breathing pattern

Q

O2 delivery

  1. Nasal Cannula

DEVICE DESIGN (MOST IMPORTANT STUFF)

A
  • Prongs attach tubing that is connected to O2 tank, portable O2 generator, or wall connection via Flowmeter
  • **For every 1L/min INC in O2 delivered—> APPROXIMATE 4% INC in FiO2
  • ADD HUMIDIFICATION if >3L O2

High Flow Nasal Cannulas mostly seen where?

A

Hospitals

20

26
Q

O2 Delivery

3. Aquinox/Optiflow/High Flow Humidification System

LIMITATIONS:

A
  • CANNOT UNPLUG
    • cannot mobilize in hallway
  • Need continuous nasal breathing to receive FiO2 (100% FiO2 received)
27
Q

O2 Delivery

4. NON-Rebreather Mask

*Bag ALWAYS inflated

PURPOSE:

A
  • High lvl of O2 to pts in varying lvls of resp. distress
  • High amts of O2 to pts during emergency situations @ 100% FiO2 @ 15L/min
    • ​hypoxia
    • seizures
    • conscious w/ VTACH
28
Q

O2 Delivery

4. NON-Rebreather Mask

*Bag ALWAYS inflated

DEVICE DESIGN

A
  • 3 one-way valves and bag reservoir to supply highest O2 conc. possible
  • Flap valves–> prevent EXHALED air from entering bag and ensure EXHALED air exit side of mask—> INSP air therefore 100% from reservoir bag
29
Q

O2 Delivery

4. NON-Rebreather Mask

*Bag ALWAYS inflated

INDICATIONS

A
  • SHORT TERM for emergency situation when pts have adequate, spontaneous respirations
    • hypoxia
    • seizures
    • VTACH w/ conscious pts
30
Q

O2 Delivery

4. NON-Rebreather Mask

*Bag ALWAYS inflated

SETUP:

A

Reservoir bag must be COMPLETELY INFLATED BEFORE applying to pt

31
Q

O2 Delivery

4. NON-Rebreather Mask

*Bag ALWAYS inflated

BENEFITS:

A
  • Delivers O2 conc 100%
  • easy setup in an emergency situation
32
Q

O2 Delivery

4. NON-Rebreather Mask

*Bag ALWAYS inflated

LIMITATIONS:

A
  • NO POSITIVE PRESSURE
  • Cannot complete ADL while donned–> switch to alternative nutrition source/medication route
    • ​MORE SHORT TERM ANYWAY!
  • Only provide ONE setting reliably: 15L/min @ 100% FiO2
    • Can be placed on 6-14L/min w/ LESS FiO2
      • prevents O2 induced barotrauma to parenchyma
33
Q

Partial Rebreather Mask

What’s the deal w/ this?

A
  • SIMILAR to NRM BUT:
    • _​_Resp. bag W/OUT flaps–> this makes both valves, 2-way valves allowing for passage of gases during INHALE AND EXHALE.
    • about 1/3 of EXHALED VT re-enters bag to be re-inhaled
    • specific design allows for pt to inhale MIXTURE of atm. air, O2, and EXHALED air
      • ​Use of CO2==Resp. stimulant***
34

39
Q

O2 Delivery

Ambu Bag/Resuscitator Bag

40
Q

Ambu Bag/Resuscitator Bag

SET UP

A
  • Squeeze bag once every 6s for adequate RR
    • ​10 respirations/min for Adult
41
Q

Ambu Bag/Resuscitator Bag

Ambu Bag/Resuscitator Bag

LIMITATIONS:

A
  • Need person to squeeze bag
  • 1x every 5s appears slow and untrained indiv’s can struggle to maintain this rate
44
Q

O2 Delivery

Tracheostomy weaning: Trach Mask vs. T-piece

TRACH MASK

A
  • BLUE TUBING BC HUMIDIFICATION
  • OPEN CIRCUIT
  • Similar to face tent—-humidified HIGH FLOW O2 via soft plastic mask
  • used after weaning from vent for weeks prior to physician decannulation
  • unreliable FiO2 due to lost O2 around collar
  • Flow rate changed via air entrainment port on wall
45
Q

Tracheostomy weaning: Trach Mask Vs. T-Piece

T-Piece

*CLOSED CIRCUIT

A
  • CLOSED CIRCUIT means you can directly measure amt O2 delivered
  • adaptor attached to trachostomy and tubing to provide closed circuit O2 delivery
  • Flow rate changed via air entrainment port on wall
  • BENEFIT: aware of specific FiO2
46
Q

Tracheostomy weaning: Trach Mask vs. T-Piece

*BOTH PORTABLE!!

A
  • Either can be attached to a O2 tank via air entrainment port and tubing
  • trach collar or t-piece portable entrainment port O2 tubing
