Pulmonary IntraOp Monitoring & Difficult Airway Algorithm - Quiz 8 Flashcards
What are the two lights invovled with Pulse Oximetry?
- Infrared - 940nm - Oxyhemoglobin - 100% Saturation
- Red - 660nm - Deoxyhemoglobin - 50% Saturation
SpO2 and PaO2
100% =
95% =
90% =
75% =
60% =
50% =
100% = 100+ mmHg
95% = 75 mmHg
90% = 60 mmHg
75% = 40 mmHg
60% = 30 mmHg
50% = 27 mmHg
(40%, 50%, 60% = 70, 80, 90)
What are the considerations in regards to Pulse Oximetry in MRI?
The standard pulse ox CANNOT be used, a special probe is needed
For Pulse Oximetry, which site detects changes quicker - the finger or the ear?
Ear detects changes quicker
What will the Pulse Ox measurement be for EndoBronchial Intubations?
It will go Undetected if there is no lung disease or low FiO2
What may cause the Pulse Ox to be inaccurate?
Hypotension
Hypothermia
Hypovolemia
Hypoperfusion
Peripheral Vasoconstriction
Asystole/V Fib
BP Cuff
Tourniquet
How does Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) affect the Pulse Ox?
COHb is due to Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning.
Viewed as Oxyhemoglobin by Pulse Ox and show SpO2 of 100%
(Use Co-Oximeter)
What is Methemoglobin (MetHb)?
Ferric Form of Hemoglobin that cant transport O2
What causes Methemoglobinemia?
Nitrates
Nitrites
Nitroglycerine
Nitroprusside
Benzocaine
How does Methemoglobin affect the Pulse Ox?
Methb is absorbed equally at both wavelengths
Show SpO2 of 85%
How does Fetal Hemoglobin & Bilirubin affect the Pulse Ox?
No Effect
What what level of hypoxemia and anemia does the Pulse Ox become inaccurate?
SpO2 < 30%
Hb < 3-4 gm/dL
What heart conditions might disturb the Pulse Ox due to Venous Pulsations?
Right Heart Failure
&
Tricuspid Regurgitation
(cor pulmonale)
What external problems may cause errors with SpO2?
Motion Artifact
Ambient Light Interference
Methylene Blue & Indocyanine Green
Bad Probe Position
Light Leakage from Diode
What does Capnography do?
Fast and Reliable Indicator of Esophageal Intubation, but not reliable for Endobronchial Intubation
