UNIT 3 RESPIRATORY Flashcards
What are different types of respiratory devices? list 5
- Blow by o2
- Nasal Cannula
- simple masks
- Venturi (Mask)
- Non-Rebreather (mask)
What should we know about blow by o2 delivery?
Used most often in the newborn population however, it is not used a ton due to not having the ability to know how much the patient is truly recieving and the risk of effecting the eyes
What % of oxygen does blow by o2 provide?
30% but also depends on how close to the face the blow by device is
How many liters can a nasal cannula provide?
1-6L
What precentage of oxygen does a nasal cannula provide?
24-44%
How many liters of oxygen can a simple mask provide?
5-8L
How much oxygen does a simple mask provide?
40-60%
A smiple mask must have a ____L flow because it can build up carbon dioxide
5L
How many liters of oxygen can a venturi mask provide?
4-12L
How much % of oxygen does a venturi mask provide?
24-60%
Why do venturi makes have large holes on the side?
To prevent carbon dioxide build up in children
How many liters of oxygen can a non-rebreather provide?
10-15L
What % of oxygen does a non rebreather provide?
almost 100%
What must we make sure happens when using a non-rebreather?
fill reservoir bag with pure oxygen
Oropharynx, Pharynx, larynx, and upper trachea are part of the upper or lower airway?
Upper
Lower trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli are part of the upper or lower airway?
Lower
Why do full term infants less than 3 months typically have lower infection rates?
Due to the protective function from moms immune system and breastmilk
Children 3-6 months are at higher risk of what respiratory disease?
Pertussis
Why do we start seeing more respiratory infections/infections in children 3-6 months?
Moms antibodies are going away and baby is starting to produce their own so there is a gap where they are not fully covered.
Toddlers and preschoolers start seeing more of what type of infections?
Viral– due to starting day cares and preschools
Kids 5 and up start seeing what type of infection more commonly?
Strep increases and viral infections typically start decreasing.
What are some anatomically differences between adults and children in terms of the respiratory tract?
- Airway diameter is smaller
- Distance between structures of tract shorter
Why does size matter with the respiratory tract?
- Distance between structures of the tract are shorter
- Organisms move rapidly down tract
- Eustachian tube in infants and small children is short and open making them more prone to ear infections esp. in resp illness
What is the diameter of a newborns airway vs. an adults airway?
Newborn: 4MM
Adult: 20MM
