FIO2% on canula formula
=(lpm x 4) + 20 ,EX 1lpm=24%
rule of thumb suction size form
Intubation ETT size # X 2
How to estimate PEDI uncuffed ET tube size:
Pedi cuffed ETT size:
= (Age /4) + 4 OR (Age + 16) /4
= (Age /4) + 3.5
How to estimate PEDI Kg weight:
(Age + 4) x 2 = (Old Way)
(Age x 3) + 7 = (New Way)
Adult ETT ~sizing range
Pedi ETT ~sizing range
=(6.0 - 9.0)
=(2.5 - 5.5)
Pedi ETT sizing form Sizing hack
correct tube size by matching diameter of the child’s smallest finger
depth of insertion of the distal tip for pediatric ET tubes
2-3 cm below the vocal cords b/c deeper insertion can result in mainstem intubation/ injury to the carina.
calculate alveolar volume,
minute volume,
alveolar minute volume?
= Tidal Volume - Dead Space
=RR x Tidal Volume
= Alveolar Volume x RR
Oxy% inhaled and exhaled:
=inhale 21% & exhale 16%
Respiratory Acidosis:
Respiratory Alkalosis:
Metabolic Acidosis:
Metabolic Alkalosis:
= Slow breathing, high ETCO2
= Rapid breathing, low ETCO2
= Rapid deep breathing, low ETCO2
= Slow breathing, high ETCO2
intramuscular injection sites & max dose:
delt/(max 2mL) Dorsal gluteal & vastus lateralus (5 mLs/more) , Rectus femoris (up to 5mL)
How would you administer medications to a patient utilizing their gastric tube?
Crush meds into 30mLs of warm water then admin w/ 50-100mLs warm flush after
Intradermal fluid dose=
<1mL
Subcutaneous fluid dose=
Max 1mL
