Respiratory made Easy

Question 1

Which device to

use often depends on the

Answer 1

degree of hypoxia
any underlying and
respiratory diseases, (like (COPD).

Question 2

nasal cannula with FiO2 24% to 38% should have flow of

Answer 2

1 to 2 liters

Question 3

nasal cannula with FiO2 30% to 35% should have flow of

Answer 3

3 to 4 liters

Question 4

nasal cannula with FiO2 38% to 44% should have flow of

Answer 4

5 to 6 liters

Question 5

Why is the Venturi mask used for COPD

Answer 5

device delivers precise 02 and CO2 build up is minimal

Question 6

Venturi Mask normal O2concentration, FiO2 and flow

Answer 6

o2 concentration 24% to 60%
FiO2: 60 to 100%
Flow 4 to 12L/min

Question 7

This device is used to deliver high flow rates and high concentrations
of oxygen.

Answer 7

Nonrebreather face mask

Question 8

Nonrebrether face mask normal FiO2 and Flow

Answer 8

FiO2: 60% to 100%
Flow: 6 to 15 L

Question 9

Nonrebreather face mask at flow rates less than 6L/min causes

Answer 9

risk of rebreathing carbon dioxide

Question 10

A valve closes
during expiration so that
exhaled air does not enter the
reservoir bag and is not
rebreathed. The valves on the
side ports of the mask allow
exhalation but close on
inspiration to prevent
inhalation of room air.

Answer 10

nonrebreather

Question 11

A simple mask is usually used for patients who require a moderate flow
rate for a short period of time. generally used after surgery in the recovery room.

Answer 11

Simple face mask

Question 12

Using low flow rates with masks (<6L) causes

Answer 12

build up of carbon dioxide

Question 13

Simple face mask normal rates of Concentration, FiO2, and flow rate

Answer 13

FiO2:35% to 65%
Flow: 8 to 12L

Question 14

A patient that has epiglottic swelling or inflammation could benefit from what added to the mask system

Answer 14

humdification on a cool mist mask system

High flow cannula system can be used for what FiO2 and liter

Answer 15

FiO2 21-100%

20 liters/min

Question 16

Mask system needing high flow used for what FiO2 and liter per min

Answer 16

FiO2: 21-100%

40 liters/min

above 92%

Question 18

O2 saturation can do what with age? what is pulse ox needed for advanced age?

Answer 18

decrease

90%

Question 19

Pulse ox readings for COPD patients

Answer 19

85-88%

Question 20

What is the 6 minute walk test

Answer 20

a myth when it comes to qualifying a patient for home oxygen

Question 21

How does a patient qualify for home oxygen with medicare? What Medicare part covers home O2?

Answer 21

SPO2 must be 88%or Less resting, increasing with supplimental O2
or
SPO2 88% or less doing activity, increased with supplimental O2

Medicare B covers DME and O2

Question 22

Medicaid home oxygen qualification

Answer 22

must have ABG at rest on room air

Medicaid home oxygen qualification for Chronic Respiratory Dz

Answer 23

PaO2 less than 55 
or 
PaO2 less than 60 over night (for night o2)
or 
PaO2 less than 55 on ABG during exercise

Question 24

Medicaid home oxygen qualification congestive heart Failure

Answer 24

PaO2 less then 60mmHg at rest with symptoms

Question 25
