Final - 6 Oxygenation Flashcards
ARF =
PaO2 < _____
PaCO2 > _____
PaO2 < 50
PaCO2 > 50
Syndrome characterized by sudden, progressive pulmonary edema, increasing bilateral lung infiltrates on CXR, hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy, decreased lung compliance
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
symptoms of ARDS
- severe dyspnea
- restlessness
- tachycardia
diagnostic test for early stages of ARDS
BPM (plasma brain natriuretic peptide)
works with cardiac ventricles and increases in response to volume expansion
BNP
BNP > 100 =
HF
BNP > 400 =
severe HF
T/F: if pt’ has HF and is going into ARDS, BNP is not helpful
True
PEEP
positive end expiratory pressure
- really scary to families
ARDS pt’s need _____ calories
extra
An initial symptom of a simple pneumothorax is a sudden onset of…
chest pain
The _____ mask is the most accurate way to deliver
oxygen and is primarily used for patients with _____. It provides appropriate levels, thus avoiding the risk of suppressing
the hypoxic drive.
Venturi
COPD
Oxygen concentrations of greater than _____ for extended periods of time (longer than 24 hours) can cause an overproduction of free radicals which can severely damage cells.
50%
_____ or _____ prevent or reverse atelectasis and allow lower oxygen percentages to be used.
PEEP or CPAP
Placement of a tube thorough the nose or mouth into the trachea. The oral route is preferred.
endotracheal intubation
Immediately after intubation check _____ of chest expansion and auscultate breath sounds
symmetry
The position of the endotracheal tube is verified by checking end-tidal carbon dioxide levels and confirmed with…
chest x-ray.
endotracheal intubation should be positioned…
above 2cm above carina
a disorder of the lower respiratory tract that occurs most commonly in young children and is caused by infection with seasonal viruses.
bronchiolitis
is the leading cause of acute illness and hospitalization of young children. Although the number of hospitalizations seems to have increased the Mortality rate is low.
viral bronchiolitis
most common type of viral bronchiolitis
RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus)
sputum test is usually done first; if it is negative or inconclusive then the viral PCR is done.
DFA (direct fluorescent antibody)
The DFA (does, does not) cover the H1N1
does not
study is the most accurate and costs more than DFA
Viral PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
When do you test with the DFA & Viral PCR
when the rapid RXV is negative, then DFA, then Viral PCR
to detect infectious organisms in lung secretions (sputum)
DFA
