Air-Fluidized Support Bed (Clinitron)
25
Aka respirators; uses positive pressure to move gas air into the patient’s lungs
Mechanical Ventilators
26
Used for patients that require long-term support
Volume-Cycled Ventilators
27
Maximum pressure of gas during respiration and inspiratory phase ends when the level is reached
Pressured-Cycled Ventilators
28
Gas delivered by introducing to the patient through tube in one of several possible airwars
Airway Placement
29
The patient must develop or cause a negative pressure to trigger the ventilator
Assist mode
30
This mode superimposes the use of positive end expiratory pressure
Continuous positive airway pressure mode
31
The inspiration phase of respiration begins at timed intervals
Control mode
32
This mode is a combination of Control mode and Continuous positive airway pressure mode
Assisted Control Mode
33
The patient’s ventilation cycle is established so that the ventilation occurs a minimum number of times per minute
Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Mode
34
This mode allows the ventilation cycle to be coordinated with the patient’s own breathing cycle
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation Mode
35
This mode allows the oxygen to be introduced into the patient’s lungs by maintaining positive pressure at the end of expiration
PEEP Mode
36
Swan-Ganz Catheter. Provide accurate and continuous measurements of PAP
Pulmonary Artery Catheter
37
Used for patients who have experienced a closed head injury
Intracranial Pressure Monitor
38
Provides highly accurate method for monitoring ICP
Ventricular Catheter
39
Permits accurate measurement of ICP
Subarachanoid Screw
40
Inaccurate Measurement Device
Epidural Sensor
41
Used to measure pressure in right atrium or superior vena cava
Central Venous Pressure Catheter
42
A line; used to continuously measure blood pressure to obtain blood samples
Arterial Line
43
Allows administration of medication, removal of blood for testing, measurement of CVP
Indwelling Right Atrial Catheter
44
Removes fluid or gas from the stomach and GI tract through the nose
Nasogastric Tube
45
Removes fluid or gas from stomach and GI tract through the stomach
Gastric Tube
46
Promote tissue growth
Intravenous Feeding, Parenteral Nutrition, Hyperalimentation Devices
47
Used to infuse fluids, nutrients, electrolytes, and medications
Intravenous Infusion Lines
48
Applied internally or externally for patients who have lost their voluntary control of micturition
Urinary Catheter
49
Type of indwelling catheter; 2-3 tubes/channels
Foley Catheter
50
Inserted directly into the bladder through incision in lower abdomen and bladder
Suprapubic Catheter
51
Provide and maintain adequate amount of oxygen in patient’s blood in response to patient’s need
Oxygen Therapy Systems
52
Used in male patients (catheter)
External Urinary Catheter
53
Inserted through the urethra and into bladder
Internal Urinary Catheter
54
2 plastic prongs inserted into patient’s nostrils
Nasal Cannula
55
Triangular plastic device with small vent holes to expel exhaled air
Oronasal Mask
56
Most frequently used for patient’s who require low to moderate concentration of oxygen
Nasal Catheter
57
Tent-like device that encloses patient’s trunk and head
Tent
58
It may be temporary or permanent tracheostomy through which oxygen administered by mask placed over stoma
Tracheostomy Catheter
59
Used to remove air, blood, purulent matter
Chest Drainage System
60
Produces artificial stoma into small intestine through incision in abdominal wall
Enterostomy
61
Types of enterostomies
Ileostomy and Colostomy
62
Used for patients who experience acute or end-stage renal disease
Dialysis Treatment
