Oxygen Flashcards
You can calculate your O2 Bottle Duration with the Formula:
Constant(PSI-500PSI)/Flowrate=Minutes of duration
Tank Constants
D size = 0.16
E size = 0.28
G size = 2.41
H and K size = 3.14
M size = 1.56
Example- 0.16(2000 PSI-500 PSI)/2LPM= 120 minutes of 2 LPM
True or false
True
Oxygen Class
Atmospheric gas
The dose of oxygen is
Hypoxemia: 10 to 15 L / min via nonrebreathing mask
COPD: 0 to 2 L / min via nasal cannula or 28% to 35% venturi mask
Cardiac arrest and carbon monoxide poisoning: 100%
Oxygen has at least 3 drug interactions
true or false?
false
Oxygen adverse reactions / side effects
Decreased level of consciousness (COPD), decreased respiratory drive in COPD patients, dry mucous membranes
Indications: Confirmed or expected hypoxemia, ischemic chest pain, respiratory insufficiency, prophylactically during air transport, confirmed or suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, all other causes of decreased tissue oxygenation, decreased level of consciousness
True or false
True
Onset: Immediate. Peak effect: Not applicable. Duration: less than 2 minutes
True or false
True
Oxygen mechanism of action
Reverses hypoxemia
Oxygen contraindications:
Certain patients with COPD will not tolerate oxygen concentrations over 35%, hyperventilation
