Medical-Surgical Equipment Flashcards
How does oxygen move across the alveolar-capillary membrane?
Diffusion from a higher pressure to lower pressure
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in inspired air?
160 mmHg
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli?
104 mmHg
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in blood leaving the tissues and entering the lungs?
40 mmHg
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in blood leaving the lungs and entering the tissue capillaries?
100 mmHg
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the tissues?
less than 40 mmHg
True or false: Hypoxemia is defined as SaO2 to less than 80% corresponding to an arterial blood O2 partial pressure less than 60 mmHg.
False; arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation is less than 90%
How does oxygen therapy improve diffusion?
By increasing the fraction of inspired O2 (FiO2) with supplemental O2
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the pulmonary veins?
100 mmHg
For every increase in liter per minute of oxygen, how much FiO2 does the Nasal Cannula increase?
3-4%
How much supplemental oxygen does the nasal cannula deliver?
1 to 6 liters per minute
What is a benefit for the patient having a nasal cannula?
Provides mobile patients with adequate lengths of extension tubing or a portable O2 tank
What is the approximate FiO2 of the Open Face Tent?
~ 30 to 55%
How much FiO2 is provided with a Closed Face Mask?
40% FiO2 with 5-6 lpm 50% FiO2 with 6-7 lpm 60% FiO2 with 7-8 lpm
How does the Transtracheal Oxygen Catheter work?
Small-bore catheter surgically inserted between 2nd and 3rd tracheal inter spaces to provide oxygen and supplemental oxygen mixed with RA is continuously provided.
How much FiO2 is increased with every lpm of supplemental O2 with Transtracheal Oxygen Catheter?
8% FiO2
How does a tracheostomy mask or collar work?
Mask is placed over tracheostomy site and secured with an elastic strap. Humidified supplemental O2 is provided through the mask/ collar.
How much FiO2 is provided with the tracheostomy mask or collar?
28% to 100%
Would you find humidified, supplemental O2 in a partial non-rebreather mask or in a tracheostomy mask?
Tracheostomy mask
Which provides more supplemental O2, the non-rebreather mask or the partial non-rebreather mask?
Non-rebreather mask. Non-rebreather mask provides 60-80% of FiO2 and partial NRB provides 40-60% of FiO2.
True or false: Physical Therapy is only deferred if a patient requires a partial non-rebreather mask to maintain oxygenation.
False, physical therapy is usually deferred if a patient requires a non-rebreather mask.
True or false: Extra lengths of oxygen extension tubing should be provided if the patient is 7-8 feet from the bedside.
True, at least 5-6 feet.
How does an air entrainment mask work?
It is a closed face mask that uses a high flow system and a jet mixing device to force 100% of oxygen past an entrainment.
True or False: It is okay for the patients to remove an air entrainment mask periodically from time to time.
False; the entrainment mask should be kept on for as long as possible to provide the specific concentration of supplemental O2
