what should oxygen saturation be for a healthy patient?
≥ 93%
What is one of the first steps to take before assessing a patient?
Turn on the lights
What would someone with low perfusion look like?
Extremely pale
4 factors that influence oxygenation
Developmental, physiological, life style, environmental
What is used to suction an infant’s nose/mouth?
Bulb suction
Where should a bulb syringe be kept?
Next to the infant
What can you attach to suction tubing for infants/pediatrics?
Little sucker
What do you attach to suction tubing for adults?
Yankeur
Why is suction used on patients?
To keep the airways patent
what should an oxygen flow meter be set at?
≥ 10 L/min
What should be in a pediatric/neonatal room to assist with drug administration?
Code sheet
What are 6 things that should be looked at in a safety check?
Suction, oxygen flow, Ambu bag, masks, intubation supplies, cardiac respiratory monitor
How many electrodes are on the lead for ECG monitoring?
3
Where should the leads be placed for ECG monitoring?
Black: left chest or left axilla
Red (or green): below the black
White: right chest or right axilla
How can electrodes be removed?
Water
when can oxygen be administered?
Only when there is an order
How can oxygen be administered?
Continuously or intermittent
What are the 2 things that an oxygen order must include for the rate?
How many liters per minute and the fraction of inspired oxygen (%)
Oxygen toxicity can happen in the ______ and _______
Retina, lungs
5 ways oxygenation can be measured
Pulse oximetry, peak flow meter, pulmonary function test, incentive spirometer, blood gas analysis
Using a peak flow meter,when should you be concerned about oxygen and when should you go to the hospital?
Yellow: concern
Red: go see a doctor
What can you use for a young child to exercise the lungs?
Blow bubbles
Which oxygenation measurement is invasive?
Blood gas analysis
oxygen delivery methods from least invasive to most invasive
Low flow nasal cannula ⇒high flow nasal cannula⇒simple face mask ⇒partial rebreather mask ⇒ Venturi mask ⇒ non rebreather mask
Range of oxygen flow for a nasal cannula? When is it high flow vs low flow?
1/8 L/min - 8 L/min
5-8 L/min: high flow
1/8-6 L/min: low flow
when should humidifaction be used with a nasal cannula?
Always!!
How does nasal cannula tubing get placed on an infant vs. an adult?
Taped onto cheeks vs. around ears
what is the flow rate for a simple face mask? When will this be used?
6-12 liters per minute with 35-50% FiO2
Short term use
What is the flow rate for a partial rebreather mask?
10-15 L/min at 60-90% FiO2
What is the flow rate for a Venturi mask?
4-12 liters per minute at 24-60% FiO2
Which mask has a one-way value?
Non rebreather mask
What should be done for a patient wearing a face mask for oxygen when he or she needs to eat or drink?
Switch to a nasal cannula
which masks have a reservoir bag?
Partial rebreather and non rebreather masks
What is the purpose of the value on a non rebreather mask?
Prevent CO2 retention
Which oxygen devices do not require an oxygen source?
Metered dose inhaler, dry powder inhaler, spacer/reservoir
