17
Q

Pulse oximetry shows

A

% of total hemoglobin saturated w/ O2

18
Q

Normal oxygenation reading

A

95-100%

19
Q

How pulse oximeter works

A

Shoots red and infrared lights through finger to see ratio of deoxy to oxy hemoglobin

20
Q

More infrared light absorbed means

A

More oxyhemoglobin

21
Q

Ventilation

A

Observe chest excursions

Auscultate breath sounds or monitor end-tidal volume

22
Q

DEF: Ventilation

A

Process of moving air into and out of lungs

23
Q

DEF: Capnography

A

Measures carbon dioxide concentration in exhaled air

24
Q

Typical partial pressure of CO2

A

40 mmHg

25
Q

Capnogram waveform phases

A

Phase 1 - exp begins but at first just CO2 less dead space air
Phase 2 - mix of CO2 and dead space air exp
Phase 3 - exhaled gas almost entirely alveolar
Phase 0 - inspiration

26
Q

Shark fin appearance Capnogram

A

Bronchospasms- asthma, COPD

27
Q

Circulation monitoring

A

Continually, document BP and HR every 5 min

Continuously w/ EKG if have heart hx

28
Q

Normal hemoglobin levels

A

12-14 for females, 14-15 for males

29
Q

Anemia affect on hemoglobin

A

Lowers Hb levels

30
Q

Normal amount of O2 a Hb can carry

A

1.34

31
Q

PP of 02 in blood at 90% pulse oximetry reading

A

60 mmHg - this is the low threshold for hypoxia- will get beeping

32
Q

pO2 if pulse oximetry reads 97%

A

97 mmHg - normal

33
Q

Cause Hb dissociation curve to shift to right

A

Acidic environment (Dec pH)
Inc in metabolism
Inc CO2
Inc 2,3 GTP

34
Q

End tidal volume you want to maintain during CPR

A

10 mmHg CO2

35
Q

Type of hypertension more common in younger people

A

Diastolic Hypertension- due to exaggerate cathecholamines

36
Q

Isolated Systolic HT

A

Seen in elderly people with stiffening of arteries

37
Q

Most common symptom of high BP

A

Headache

38
Q

EKG Lead 1

A

Right shoulder (-) to left shoulder

39
Q

EKG Leade 2

A

Right shoulder to left leg

40
Q

EKG Lead 3

A

Left shoulder to left leg

41
Q

Colors of EKG things

A

White on right, smoke over fire on left

42
Q

PONV

A

Prior motion sickness
Opioids
Non-smoker
Female
