Rcp 100 exam 2 Flashcards
oxygen
Hyperoxia
-2-3 ata and up to 7 ata
- vasoconstriction and small decrease in CO
- can reduce edema and tissue swelling in burns, cerebral edema, and crush injuries while maintaining oxygenation
- can aid in neovascularization (formation of new capillary beds) for tissue repair
late hypoxemia
- low pH
-high PaCO2
-low Pao2
-hypoventilating due to decreased respiratory drive
early hypoxemia
-high pH
-low PaCO2
-low PaO2
-hyperventilating due to decreased oxygen
oxygen-induced hypoventilation
-seen in COPD pts with CO2 retention
-can suppress hypoxic drive
-CO2 increase
-target PaO2 is 60 (Spo2 90%)
absorption atelectasis
-alveolar collapse (shunt) due to a decrease in body nitrogen because of too much oxygen (oxygen replaces nitrogen and causes atelectasis)
effects of oxygen toxicity
-vasoconstriction
-decreased CO
-decreased perfusion to the body
-thickened a-c membrane (shunt)
oxygen toxicity
-overproduction of oxygen free radicals
-caused by too much oxygen over an extended length of time
-PaO2 greater than 150
pulmonary dead space
-normal alveolar ventilation, poor blood perfusion
- anatomical and alveolar
shunt
-normal blood perfusion, poor alveolar ventilation
-anatomical and capillary
shunt causes
pneumonia, pulmonary edema, tissue trauma, atelectasis, mucus plugging
pulmonary dead space causes
cardiovascular shock, emphysema
v/q ratio
-ventilation to perfusion ratio
- normal is 0.8 mL (4mL/5mL)
alveolar ventilation (va)
VA=(VT-VD) x F
causes of hypoxemia
-hypoventilation (high PaCO2)
-diffusion block (thickening of alveolar-capillary membrane)
-V/Q mismatch
Pb
760 mm Hg at sea level
PH2O
47
PaCO2
from ABG
A-aDO2
-difference between alveolar and arterial oxygen
-A-aDO2=PAO2-PaO2
-normal is 2-10 torr
-low is good
-high is bad
cylinder safety
-oxygen is a fire hazard
-keep liquids away from oxygen
-labeled
-valve is fully closed
-never drop cylinders
-secure cylinders
-use dollies when lifting
Thorpe tubes
-pressured uncompensated: some ventilators and anesthesia machines
-pressured compensated: prevents change in downstream resistance, back pressure, most of them are these
Piss
pin-index safety system
Diss
diameter index safety system
Tiss
thread index safety system
