Prolonged effects of ICU on the body (3)
dec bone density in 3-6 wks
mm atrophy in big/strong mm
CT loses elasticity in days
tachycardia is what range?
bradycardia is?
> 140 bpm
<50 bpm
how does bedrest affect resting heart rate?
ejection fraction?
resting HR inc
EF dec
what is ventilator used for?
how effects tidal volume?
to breathe for pt or as supplement
dec. TV
example of invasive O2 delivery:
non-invasive delivery w/ vent:
non-invasive delivery w/out vent:
trach & endotracheal tubes
CPAP & BiPAP
nasal cannula, rebreather mask, venturi mask
3 peripheral lines & location
peripheral IV (hand, arm)
peripheral indwelling central catheter (PICC)- cubital/brachial vein
external jugular-neck
2 indwelling lines & location
central line-upper chest wall
dialysis fistula-forearm
3 monitor lines & purpose
arterial lines: for constant BP
ECG monitor: HR/rhythm
central venous pressure (CVP)- BP near vena cava
6 drain lines & purpose
catheter (Foley & suprapubic)
chest tube- drainage
J-P: for wounds
J & G- gastric surgery
ICP monitor - intracranial pressure
ventricular/lumbar drain- brain, SC, CSF
5 In/Out Lines
nasogastric feeding
Dobhoff-feeding
NG tube-drains gut
PEG- feeds directly to stomach
J-tube- into jejunum
Acute Care general precautions:
universal precautions & PPE
survey surroundings & prepare room for tx
check vitals & monitor throughout
explain plan for tx
don’t pull out lines/tubing
tube collectors in dependent position
normal O2 saturation
when to not treat:
normal FiO2 values
> 90% norm
<85% no tx
21% & < 50% for tx
open vs. close injury (TBI)
open: direct penetration through skull
closed: no penetration through skull (concussion, hematoma, hypoxia, acc/decel)
epidural vs. subdural hematoma
epi: between skull & dura mater, arterial & fast
sub: between dura & arachnoid, venous & slow
anterograde vs retrograde memory
ant: ability to create new memory after trauma event
retro: can’t remember events prior to injury
which concussion classification?
no loss of consciousness
resolves within 15 min
RTS 1 wk
Grade 1
