Oxygen therapy Flashcards
when giving o2 always give the
lowest amount needed to avoid any potentail side effects
o2 sats of someone with COPD
89-91% percent
after 4 liters of o2 nurse should
call for help
you dont have to wait for order for o2 because
patient safety
o2 treatment necessary
when the o2 falls below 91%
o2 below __% is life threatening
70
PaO2
83-100
PaCO2
32-45
nasal cannula
flow rates 1-4L
Long term use
chronic lung disease
simple face mask
minimum flow rate of 6-8L
concentrations of 40-60%
make sure it fit well to maximize o2 consumption
partial rebreather mask
flow rate of 8-11 L/minute
concentration of 50-75 %
patient rebreathes 1/3 fo of exhaled tidal volume which is high in oxygen giving it a high fraction of inspired air
non-rebreather mask
12 L per minute concentration of 80-100%
Flow rate at high level to keep bag inflated during inhalation
exhaled air leaves through exhalation ports, patient inhales from only reservoir bag
Venturi mask
high delivery system
4-8 minute
delivers most accurate amount of oxygen concentration
pulls in specific parts of room air per liter of o2
face tent, aerosol mask, tracheostomy collar,, concentrators
incentive spirometer
breathe in, hold it, do it 10xs per hour
