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

Increase the flow to the nebulizer

39
Q

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

V Fib and V tach, asystole, and PEA

42
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?

A

No

51
Q

air in your ABG sample will what?
