CSE Flashcards
insufficient flow (FEV1) with a low DLco (<20) are diagnostics for
emphysema
PaO2 normal value for a COPD patient
55-65 torr
used for blood thining
Coumadin
PaO2 value acceptable for ARDS
55-80 torr
given for pulmonary hypertention
Prostacyclin
ideal I:E ratio setting for ARDS
2:1
1.3:1
flushing the Pulm. artery catheter is usually done when:
the dicrotic notch is missing from PA wave
nares not fully developed causing slight stridor, apnea during breast or bottle feeding
Choanal atresia
congenital heart defect
egg-shapped heart
transposition of the Great Vessels
congenital heart defect
boot-shapped heart
Tetralogy of Fallot
aorta is switched with pul. artery (aorta rises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery rises from the left ventricle)
Transposition of the Great Vessels
overriding aorta, pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy
Tetralogy of Fallot
postive sweat chloride test
> 60 mEq/L
For CF
used in the treatment of AIDS
Pentamadine treatment
to determin if left heart is working, look at…
