Physiologic Monitoring Flashcards
ECG normal
60-90 bpm
A-line normals
BP and MAP
120/80
60-110
What is CVP
Central Venous pressure
Normal for CVP
2-8 cmH2O
2-6 mmHg
ICP normals
Intercranial pressure
15 mmHg
SpO2 normal
Arterial oxygen saturation
97-98
Purpose of tracheal tubes
Access upper airway when obstructed
Suctioning
Enable mechanical vent
Protect airway
2 types of trach tubes
Endotracheal
Tracheostomy
Complications of Trach tubes
Ulcer Scarring Fistula Larynx damage Infection A/W obstruction
ET-Tubes used for
Short term 7-10 days
Trachs have a ___
Low-pressure (25 cmH2O) cuff which inflates during mechanical ventilation
Have an opening in posterior wall of tube above cuff
Fenestrated trach
Purpose of chest tubes
To remove excess fluid or air from pleural/mediasinal cavity
Chest tube for fluid
Chest tube for pneumothorax
Fluid: 3/4 intercostal space
pneumothorax: 2nd intercostal space
3 compartments for draining container of Chest tube
Under-water-seal drainage
Collection chamber
Suction chamber
Air bubbles in chest tube indicative of
Air leak
Can you be mobilized and ambulated with under-water-seal drainage?
How about wall suction?
CHEAA bruh
Naww
Used to detect hypoxemia
Pulse oX
SpO2 of 90% corresponds to PaO2 of
60mmHg
Direct measurement of Artieial BP, CVP, intracardiac pressure
Hemodynamic monitoring (HDM)
A-line
Peripheral arterial catheter
Aline used to monitor
Arterial pressure by drawing blood samples
Complications of Continuous arterial pressure monitoring
Eccymosis, Hematoma, and soreness
Sites of Aline
Radial (most common)
Dorsalis pedis
Femoral
Brachial
Transducer of Aline placed at
Level of R artium
