ECare - Chapter 10 (Respiration and Artificial Ventilation)

Question 1

ventilation

Answer 1

inhalation and exhalation

Question 2

alveolar ventilation

Answer 2

amount of air that reaches the alveoli

Question 3

pulmonary respiration

Answer 3

exchange of gases between the alveoli and blood in pulmonary capillaries (CO2 goes to alveoli and O2 goes to hemoglobin)

Question 4

cellular respiration

Answer 4

exchange of gasses between cells and blood (CO2 goes to blood and O2 goes to cells)

Question 5

respiratory distress

Answer 5

increased work of breathing/SOB

body is compensating

Question 6

respiratory failure

Answer 6

reduction of breathing where O2 intake is not enough to support life

Question 7

respiratory arrest

Answer 7

breathing completely stops

Question 8

Intervention: adequate breathing

Answer 8

nonrebreather mask or nasal cannula

Question 9

Intervention: increasing respiratory distress

Answer 9

nonrebreather

Question 10

Intervention: severe respiratory distress

Answer 10

assisted ventilations

Question 11

Intervention: respiratory arrest

Answer 11

rescue breathing/artificial ventilation

Question 12

patient assessment for breathing

Answer 12

Is the patient breathing?

Is it adequate breathing? (look, listen, feel)

Question 13

NPPV

Answer 13

for patients breathing on own

Question 14

stoma

Answer 14

permanent surgical opening in the neck where patient breathes

Question 15

Intervention: stoma

Answer 15

1. clear the stoma
2. leave head in neutral position
3. use pediatric-sized mask to seal around stoma

Question 16

FROPVD

Answer 16

uses O2 under pressure to give artificial ventilations; has automatic flow restriction to avoid too much oxygen delivery

Question 17

Automatic transport ventilator (ATV)

Answer 17

portable device that gives positive pressure ventilations. has settings to adjust ventilation rate/volume

Question 18

safe residual for an oxygen cylinder

Answer 18

pressure is 200 psi or above

Question 19

life of an oxygen cylinder (min)

Answer 19

gauge pressure (psi) - 200 (safe residual pressure) x constant / flow rate (L/min)

Question 20

pressure regulator

Answer 20

device used to reduce pressure of cylinder

Question 21

flowmeter

Answer 21

valve that indicates flow of oxygen (L/min)

Question 22

nonrebreather mask

Answer 22

face mask and reservoir bag that gives high concentration of O2

Question 23

nasal cannula

Answer 23

device that gives low concentration of O2

Question 24

partial rebreather mask

Answer 24

face mask and reservoir O2 bag with no one-way valve ; helps preserve CO2 levels in blood to stimulate breathing

Question 25

venturi mask

Answer 25

face mask and bag that gives specific concentration of O2 by mixing O2 with inhaled air

Question 26

tracheostomy mask

Answer 26

device placed over stoma or tracheostomy tube to give O2
