Q

How does a partial rebreathing mask work?

-Flow rate and O2%

A

Two way valve between reservoir and facemask

Every 30 minutes

23
Q

What do you do in the event contrast is extravasated?

A 
Explain what is suspected and what you are doing to the patient
Stop the infusion immediately
Remove the needle
Apple cold pack and elevate arm
Notify Rad/ordering physician
Complete incident report
24
Q

What is INR?

A

International normalized ratio indicates the risk of blood clot or bleeding

25
Q

What eGFR is safe to inject contrast at and which is unsafe to inject at?

A

eGFR below 30 will not receive injection
eGFR above 60 will receive injection
Anything in between is situational

34
Q

What is hypoxemia?

A

The level of oxygen in the arterial blood becomes inadequate to meet the patient’s physiological needs

Q

What is the normal temperature of a healthy patient?

A

37 degrees celsius

atria and ventricles are contracting rapidly and in an uneven pattern

43
Q

What is ventricular fibrillation?
