Q

What is the purpose of the reservoir bag on a partial rebreather?

A

a. Allows for delivery of a higher oxygen concentration
b. On inspiration the patient breathes in oxygen from the bag
c. On expiration some CO2 exits the side vents and some ito the reservoir bag
i. There are no one way valves
1. This causes patient to rebreath some of their own CO2

Q

How does the expiratory valve work?

A

When the Pt. exhales the expiratory valve opens to allow the CO2 to exit the mask and not enter the bag

26
Q

What is the FiO2 % for non-rebreather?

A

__That the reservoir bag stays partially inflated__

29
Q

Although respiratory therapy may set up the non-rebreather, what are you responsible to check?

__That the oxygen is being delivered as ordered
- Patient is getting correct amount of Oxygen L/min
- Pt is getting correct form of oxygen

30
Q

If a patient does not improve from a non-rebreather and remains in distress, what is the next
steps?

A

__Intubation__

30
Q

How long can a patient stay on a non-rebreather?

A

__1 - 1 ½ hours

31
Q

Which high flow system decreases the likelihood that a patient will breathe in less room air?

A

Venturi Mask__

32
Q

Which patient would benefit the most from a Venturi Mask and why?

A

COPD Patients,as it delivers a precise amount of oxygen. You don’t want COPD patients to lose hypoxic drive to breathe

33
Q

What must you verify when selecting a Venturi mask valve/adapter?

A

That it correlates with the physician order, ensures patient is getting the correct specific amount of oxygen

34
Q

Where can you locate the FiO2 & L/min delivered on a Venturi Mask?

A

On the valves/adapters

35
Q

What FiO2 does the Venturi mask deliver?

A

__ 24-60%_

36
Q

What is the Liter range for the Venturi Mask?

A

4 - 12 Liters

37
Q

Where do you find the number of doses that remain for a MDI?

A

Look at the dose indicator or on the canister

38
Q

How many times should you shake the canister prior to delivering?

A

5-6 times

39
Q

After delivering 1 puff how long should the patient inhale then hold their breath?

A

Inhale for 3-5 seconds & hold breath for 10 seconds

40
Q

If two puffs are ordered how long do you wait to give the same medication?

A

1 minute

41
Q

If a bronchodilator and corticosteroid are ordered, which do you give first?

A

Bronchodilator then the corticosteroid

42
Q

What are some side effects of bronchodilators?

A

a. Tachycardia
b. Palpitations

43
Q

What must you instruct the patient to do after inhaling corticosteroids?

A

Rinse their mouth to prevent candidiasis

44
Q

How do you instruct or perform cleaning of a spacer?

A

Disassemble, hand wash the holder, spacer & cap with warm water and a drop of dish
soap. Let air dry on a paper towel. Never put in the dishwashe

45
Q

Nebulizers deliver medication solution in the form of a __________ through the use of an air
compressor

A

Mist

46
Q

Nebulizers are used on which patients?

A

a. Asthma
b. COPD
c. Cystic Fibrosis
d. Other respiratory disorders

47
Q

Where do you instill the medication on a nebulizer?

A

Into the cup after twisting it off the connector

48
Q

How do you ensure the patient is and has received all of the medicated solution?

A

a. Tell patient to keep the cup upright throughout the treatment
b. Keep the mouthpiece in their mouth
c. Encourage patient to breathe deeply
d. Occasionally flick the side of the cup with their fingers to allow condensation to fall back
into the cup.
e. Continue the treatment until there is no more mis

49
Q

How do you clean a nebulizer?

A

a. Remove the mouthpiece, t connector from the cup. Rinse ONLY the mouthpiece and T connector under warm running water, NO SOAP and let air dry .
b. DO NOT CLEAN CUP WITH WATER, LET IT AIR DRY. WATER HAS MICROORGANISMS
WHICH LOVE MOIST ENVIRONMENTS SO THEY CAN GROW & REPLICATE!

50
Q

On the wall what is the:
- Green
- Yellow
- Cannister

A

Green: Oxygen
Yellow: Air
Cannister: Suction

51
Q

Why may a Simple Facemask be used over a Nasal Cannula?

A

If the patient is a mouth breather

52
Q

How long should a pt be on a rebreather / nonrebreather mask?

A

1 - 1.5 hours

53
Q

How do the non-rebreather valves work?

A
  • Mask has inspiratory and expiratory masks
  • On inspiration, inspiratory valve lifts and allows 100% oxygen to enter mask. Valve closes when inhalation stops
  • Upon exhalation, the expiratory valves open which allows CO3 to exit mask. Valve closes when exhalation stops.
54
Q

How does Venturi mask effect amount of O2 being delivered?

A
  • Valve adapter connected to tubing controls specific amount of O2 delivery
  • Adapter must correlated with PCP order
55
Q

What should you do if cannister is new or hasn’t been used in a while?

A

Prime cannister away from you

56
Q

What should you educate the patient on prior to using MDI?

A

Rinse mouth, decreases amount of bacteria on mouth piece

57
Q

How to use MDI?

A

Put cannister in holder, shake 5-6 times
Prime away from you
Don gloves
Have patient rinse mouth
Inhale, exhale
Put mouth piece in mouth
Push cannister down and inhale for 3-5 seconds, hold breath for 10 seconds
Slowly exhale

58
Q

How long to wait between MDI puffs?

A

1 minute if the same medication
5 minutes if different medications

59
Q

How to set up a nebulizer?

A
  • Place compressor on solid surface near outlet, pluh it in
  • Connect air tubing to nebulizer base
  • Attach mouthpiece and cup to t-shaped connector
  • Unscrew top from cup, instill correct dose medication, replace top
  • Turn on nebulizer
60
Q

What to instruct patient on after setting up nebulizer?

A
  • Keep cup upright throughout treatment
  • Close mouth tightly around mouthpiece
  • Breathe deeply throughout treatment (but breathing normally is ok)
  • Flick side of cup to allow condensation to fall pack into cup
  • Continue until no more mist
61
Q

What does FiO2 mean?

A

Fraction of Inspired Oxygen

  • estimation of the oxygen content a person inhales
62
