Quiz 2 Flashcards
6 things to monitor under standards
- ventilation (clinical obsv and expired CO2)
- oxygen (clinical obsv and pulse ox)
- Cardiovascular status (EKG)
- Temp
- neuromuscular
- patient positioning
wavelength absorbed by deoxyhemoglobin
660nm (Red)
wavelength absorbed by oxyhemoglobin
940nm (infrared)
Law that pulse ox is based on
Beer Lamberts Law
pulse ox reads as a ratio of red/infrared light
Reasons for inaccurate pulse ox measurements (6)
- hypoperfusion (vasoconstriction, hypothermia, hypotension)
- motion artifacti
- methylene blue
- Anemia (Hgb < 5)
- cautery interference
- Abnormal Hgb
what makes oxygen saturation curve shift to left?
- decreased PCO2
- decreased temp
- Alkalosis
what makes oxygen saturation curve shift to right?
- Increased PCO2
- Increased Temp
- Acidosis
Chest movement does not confirm what?
Ventilation
value of precordial/esophageal stethoscope?
- assurance of ventilation
- detect changes in breath sounds
what do you place the stethoscope precordial bell?
Suprasternal notch
What does an absense of an ETCO2 waveform mean? (3)
- esophageal intubation
- accidental disconnect
- cardiac arrest
what does ETCO2 data display?
- Adequacy of ventilation
- confirms placement
ETCO2 # vs Arterial CO2 #
ETCO2 2-5 lower
sharkfin capnograph means?
bronchospasm/asthma/COPD
short building then tall building capnograph means? or could also be?
increasing ETCO2/hypoventilation
also: hypercapnic, MH, Thyroid issue, increased BP, CO2 absorbing from insufflation in Lap case
decreasing/shorter buildings capnograph? Could also mean?
decreasing ETCO2/hyperventilation
also: hypotension, decreased C.O. (MI), slowing metabolism
