colorimetic CO2 monitor
place on top of airway tubing colour will change
pH paper
yellow = successful
purple = unsuccessful
sidestream CO2 monitoring
on truck
less accurate then mainstream
normal CO2 value range
35-45 mm Hg
what do you do if ur CO2 level is elevated
increase rate + ventilation effort
what do you do if ur CO2 level is elevated
increase rate + ventilation effort
what do you do if ur CO2 level is declined
patient is being over ventilated
hyperventilating
decrease ventilation effort
cheyne strokes
increased then decreased tidal volume
with strokes
death
kussmals respiration
deep fast respirations
ketones
air hunger
CO2 is a(n)…
acid
biots respiration
irregular tidal volume
can occur with meningits/neurological disorders
who gets a vent
head injury
impending r arrest
GCS under 8
hypoxia
peep
keep alveoli open
positive end expiratory pressure
