28
Q

Normal CaO2

A

20.4%/100cc blood

29
Q

Alveolar air equation

A

PAO2= (760-47)FiO2 MINUS (PaCO2 x 1.25)

lpm varies, 24,28,35,50%

36
Q

What mask would you use for a COPD pt?

A

Venturi mask

37
Q

Main difference between humidifier and aerosol

tachycardia/bradycardia that leads to asystole

40
Q

What arrythmia is associated with acute hypoxia? what about severe?

A

tachycardia/bradycardia that leads to asystole

41
Q

A

atelectasis and pulmonary edema

43
Q

Coarse crackles aka rhonchi are heard with which diseases?

A

bronchitis/severe pneumonia

44
Q

In regards to a pt LOC, what would indicate that they are stuporous?

A

they only respond to pain stimuli

45
Q

JVP can be a sign of what?

A

chronic hypoxia and right sided heart failure aka cor pulmonale

46
Q

Normal PaO2 (arterial)

A

80-100mmHg

47
Q

What will cause a decrease in oxygen percentage with a manual resuscitator?

A

Increased rate, decreased refill time, increased SV

48
Q

What do you do if someone has RR of 8?

A

Bag them, turning up O2 wont help their rate of breathing

49
Q

absorption atelectasis is a result of what?

A

collapsing of the alveoli

50
Q

Does DPI include a propellant?

51
Q

air in your ABG sample will what?

A

increase pH, decrease CO2, and increase PO2

52

Nasal Cannula can be given at what flow rates

A

1-6 lpm (24-44%)

53
Q

What is the minimum pulse ox value before O2 therapy is needed?

A

90% for normal, down to 80% for COPD

54
Q

During CPT, when is vibration performed?

A

on expiration

55
Q

How much sputum is acceptable before CPT is indicated?

56
Q

Which diseases will move the trachea AWAY

A

pnuemothorax and pleural effusion

57
Q

Which diseases will move the trachea towards the injury?

A

Atelectasis and lung tumor

58
Q

capillary refill greater than 3 seconds indicates what?

yellow sputum represents what?

A

older infection while green sputum represents a current infection

61
Q

In emergency situation what do you use for an unresponsive pt in regards to LOC

Use the AVPU (alert, verbal, painful, unresponsive)

**Alert is the only ‘normal’ condition

62
Q

What devices create molecular moisture vs particulate matter?

A

Humidifier/Aerosol

63
