O2 Delivery Devices Flashcards
How do we assess patient response to O2 therapy
ABG
Nasal Cannula
Low Flow System, flow .25-6LPM, FiO2 24-45%, uses humidifier > 4LPM, special rules- decrease in FiO2 increase minute volume, add humidity
Simple mask
Low flow, flow range- 5-10 LOL, FiO2- 35-50%, needs humidity, special rules- needs minimum 5LPM to flush CO2 from mask (has no bag, has small bore tubing)
Air-entrainment (venturi-mask)
High flow, 10LPM, FiO2- 24-50%, no humidity, speaks in terms of FiO2 (has variable air to O2 ratio. Gives exact FiO2)
Partial rebreather (emergency mask)
Low flow, 10LPM, FiO2-40-70%, no humidity, rule- keep reservoir inflated, some CO2 goes back in bag some out of mask
Non-rebreather (emergency mask)
Low flow, 10LPM, FiO2- 60-80%, no humidity, one way valve between mask and bag expiratory gas goes outside of mask
Two long pieces of large bore tubing
8-10 links for cutting
Drain Bag
Catches condensation
Trach collar (TC)
Smiley face sits up. Used on trachs
Face tent
Used on patients with facial trauma or claustrophobia.
Aerosol Mask
Has no tubing. FiO2 28%
Briggs T adapter
Green T. Way to provide humidity and O2 to someone intubated (test to see if they can come off ventilator)
Oxygen Analyzer
Validates FiO2
Total flow
Magic box
hypoxemia
low ambient 02, hypoventilation, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, shunt, or diffusion defect
Hypoxemia numbers
decreased PaO2 less than 60mmhg or SpO2 bellow 90%
Hypoxemia occur from
severe trauma, acute myocardial infarction, short-term therapy or surgical intervention
Pulse Oximetry measures
SpO2
Arterial blood gas measures
PaO2
CO- oximetry measures
SaO2
Uses Spectrophotometry
SpO2 (pulse oximeter %), SaO2 (arterial blood draw)
SaO2
arterial blood draw= analysis through co-oximeter= distinction between 4 absorption wavelenths
SaO2 4 wavelengths
- oxy-hemoglobin, 2.Carboxyhemoglobin, 3. Methemoglobin, 4. Reduced Hemoglobin
Limitations to Pulse Oximeter
Poor perfusion to sample site, motion artifact, abnormal hbg, intravascular dyes, dark nail polish, light
CO poisoning
can run a venous sample through the co-oximeter to get carbon monoxide % value- wrong value
Complications and hazards of O2 therapy
Supplemental O2 shouldnt be used as a subsitute for ventilation, Supplement O2 is relatively benign drug, Oxygen toxicity, Nitrogen washout atelectasis, Oxygen-induced hypoventilation, ROP
Goal of RT during O2 therapy
use the minimum concentration required to achieve adequate tissue oxygenation
Oxygen toxicity defined as
cellular injury of lung parenchyma and airway epithelium
O2 Toxicity occurs when
24 to 48 hours at an FiO2 of 1.0. They include hypoxemia caused by right to left shunting from atelectasis, decreased lung compliance, and infiltrates on chest radiograph that reflect the cellular pathology
exposure of FiO2 of 1.0 longer than 72 to 96 hours
Inflammatory changes, edema, and fibrosis
Absorption atelectasis/ Nitrogen washout atelectasis
Absorption atelectasis can occur with high concentration oxygen breathing, secondary to washout of nitrogen from lungs
Oxygen-induced hypoventilation involves
the neurologic control of ventilation
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
oxygen radicals attack the incompletely developed retinal tissue, resulting in vasoconstriction
complications and hazards of O2 Therapy to babies
Neonates with Congenital heart lesions depend on patency of the ductus arteriosus for either pulmonary or systemic blood flow, Many newbors will have profound hypoxia or circulatory collapse as the ductus closes spontaneously
Fire Hazard
is a concern when dealing with normobaric oxygen and a major haxard in hyperbaric applications
Variable-Performance devices (low-flow devices) provide
variable and approximate FiO2
Fixed-performance devices (high-flow devices) are designed to provide
a fixed and known FiO2
Major difference between high and low flow devices
high flow device provides such a high flow of premixed gas that the patient is not required to inhale any room air
Nasal Cannula
most widely used device for administering low-flow oxygen.
NC flow should be titrated using
vital signs, pulse oximetry, and arterial blood gas measurements
Simple mask
used when a higher FiO2 is needed than can be attained with a NC ( has small bore tubing)
Parial Rebreathing mask
Simple mask with the addition of 300 to 600 mL reservoir bag
Nonrebreathing Mask
uses the same basic system as the partial rebreathing mask but incorporates valves between the bag and mask and on at least one of the exhalation ports
Partial and non rebreathing mask deliver
precise delivery of FiO2 is required to supply therapeutic levels of O2 and avoid complications
Nasal Cannulas
standard, high flow cannula, reservoir cannula, heated high flow cannula
High flow nasal cannula devices
are designed to administer higher O2 flows than the standard NC
Large bore tubing attatches to
aerosal
Oxyhood
supply flow to flush out CO2, analyze as close as possible to baby. water vapor
Dual flow meters
the simplest and most economical method of delivery a specific FiO2 and total flow
Air Oxygen blenders
provide a convenient, compact device for dialing in specific FiO2
O2 Enclosures include
O2 tents and hoods
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is indicated for treatment of
Carbon monoxide poisoning, wounds, air embolism, and decompression sickness
Symptoms of hypoxia are
Cognitive impairment, cardiac rhythm and conduction (EKG) dysfunction, and renal dysfunction
Monitoring arterial blood gas analysis is standard for
documenting oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base balance
Most common form of continuoulsy monitioring oxygen saturation
pulse oximetry
Oxygen analyzers are used to measure
the concentration of oxygen administered to patients
RT are frequently asked to integrate patient info and recommend a medica gas therapy by
patient assessment, laboratory data, initial concentration of O2, appropriate O2 therapy device
Helium-Oxygen Therapy
Use of heliox for some patients with partial upper airway obstruction or asthma, a mask with a reservoir is used. replaces nitrogen with helium
Accordign to Grahams law, heliox
diffuses at a rate 1.8 times greater than oxygen (80%helum/ 20% oxygen)
Carbon Dioxide Therapy
Several dangerous side effecs, administration devices for CO2/O2 gas therapy include the disposable nonreabreathing mask with reservoir and the well fitted mask with reservoir
Patients on Carbongen therapy must be carefully monitored by
pulse, RR, blood pressure, and mental state
Carbogen is
5% carbon dioxide in O2
Nitric Oxide Therapy
NO is a selective pulmonary vasodilator. Low toxicity
Selective pulmonary vasodilators
reduce pulmonary vascular resistance without affectign systemic vascular resistance and affects vascular resistance only near ventilated alveoli
Only FDA approved indication for inhaled NO is
Hypoxic respiratory failure of the newborn
Treat Hypoxemia
Supplement O2
O2 therapy is used for periperative conditions, and
COPD, ARDS, CPR, MI, Pulmonary edema, CO poisoning, and traumatic brain injury
