21
Q

Stoke’s Law

A

Particles settling under gravity will attain constant terminal setting velocity

22
Q

NEbulizer

A

“the machine/the device”
Jet, ultrasonic

Advantages:

  • Use of passive breathing
  • Good dosage form for pediatric form

Disadvantage

  • Time intensive
  • Inefficient and cumbersome
  • Expensive
  • Needs to be cleaned
23
Q

Pressured Metered Dose Inhaler

A

Use chemical propellants to deliver medication dose to lungs

Most widely used

Metered: Specific/controlled amount to be aerosolized/released

24
Q

Optimal conditions for inhaling MDI

A

Aerosols are actuation of the device at the start of inhalation, inspiratory flow rate of<50 li per min. Followed by 10 seconds breath holding at the end of inspiration

25
Q

Alternative for CFC

A

Hydrofluoroalkanes

26
Q

advantage of MDI

A

Deliver a reliable/ consistent dose of medications directly yo the site of action

Onset of action is quicker

Side effects fewer

Pirtable

27
Q

Disadvantage of MDI

A

Need good coordination of actuation and inhalation

Not very efficient as delivery device-20% or less of the dose

Many have no built in counter

28
Q

Spacer

A

decreases the velocity of particles upon release from the device (normally particles ejected at the very rapid velocity, higher chance of impaction of particles in the back of throat)

29
Q

Aerochamber

A

Small, regular, large, plus

30
Q

Azmacort

A

Built in spacer with device

31
Q

Which device is for your patient? Good actuation-inhalation coordination

A

Inspiratory flow <30 l/min - (pMDI , NEBULIZER)

Inspiratory flow >30l/min (pMDI, DPI, NEBULIZER)

32
Q

Whih device is for your patient? Poor actuation-inhalation coordination

A

Inspiratory flow < 30l/min

(pMDI + Spacer , Nebulizer)

Inspiratory flow >30 l/min
(pMDI + Spacer, DPI, Nebulizer)

33
Q

Soft Mist Inhaler

A

Aerosols with a greater fine particle fraction than most pMDIs DPIs and nebulizer

Aerosol spray produced exits the inhaler more slowly and lasts for a longer time

34
Q

The most effective device is the one____

A

which the patient will use

35
Q

5D’s to consider

A
Demographics
Device
Doctor
Drug
Disease
36
Q

The fraction or percentage of the inspired air that is made up of O2.

A

Fraction of inspired oxygen

37
Q

factors that increase FiO2

A

Increase oxygen flow

Increase size of reservoir

38
Q

Factors that decrease FiO2

A

Decreased RR

Decreased TV

39
Q

Arterial Blood Gas

A
pH = 7.35-7.45
pO2 = 80-100 mmHg

pCO2= 35-45 mmHg

HCO3= 22-26 mmol/L

40
Q

Oxygen saturation of 95% –> pO2

A

80

41
Q

Oxygen Concentration

A

FiO2, Mixture of atmospheric oxygen = 21 % and supplied oxygen = 100%

42
Q

HOW MUCH FLOW?

A

16 bpm = 0.5 TV 1

20bpm = 8 TV 16(;i)

25bpm = 12.5 TV 25(li)

35bpm = 17.5 TV 35 (li)

43
Q

Low face mask

A

3 L/min air drawn into mask via the holes + 2 L/min Oxygen into mask from the tube

*Of the 5L of mixed air inspired the 2L from your oxygen supply

44
Q

Face Mask with Reservoir

A

Partial Rebreathing (has holes -can be compensated by room air)

Non-rebreathing (has valves-increases concentration of oxygen by preventing dilution from exhaled air)

45
Q

Venturi Mask

A

High flow: 30L/min into mask, but 25 L/min escapes from mask. So only 5 L/min is inspired

46
Q

Respiratory Physical Therapy

A

Muscles strength building exercises

47
Q

Measure effectiveness of deep breath is by use of

A

incentive spirometers

flutter device

48
Q

Breathing Exercises

A

pursed lip breathing. Exhalation tends to collapse the airway, thus the patient prevents very rapid exhaltion by pursing the lips

Diaphragm should be the main muscle for respiraton

49
Q

Postural Drainage

A

instruct the patient to assume different position

50
Q

MObilization of airway secretions

A

Chest clapping
Vibration
Ultrasound
