93-99%
What are the early signs of hypoxia?
restlessness
anxiety

What are the steps for checking correct ET tube placement?
Step 1: end positive CO2
Step 2: bilateral check expansion
Step 3: equal bilateral breath sounds (nurse, intu
Step 4: intermittent (should be moisture that is going into the tube when they exhale –misting on the ET tube)
Step 5: absence of breath sounds over the epigastrium
Step 6: X ray last
______ IS NOT THE FIRST WAY YOU ARE GOING TO CONFIRM PLACEMENT, IT IS NOT EVEN GOLD STANDARD
X RAY
identify the trachea
carina
left and right bronchus
terminal bronchioles
How many lobes does the right and left lungs have?
Give the normal respiratory function of how air moves.
mouth/nose
trachea
bronchial tree
bronchioles
alveoli
gas exchange
___________________________: the mechanical act of moving air into and out of the respiratory tree. This involves the musculoskeletal system and the nervous systems
VENTILATION
____________________________:involves the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries.
RESPIRATION
If EITHER ventilation or respiration are disrupted, ya get ___________
