Unit VIII unit 2 Flashcards
What is the most preventable cause of death in society
Smoking
Second hand smoke contains more than ? chemicals
7,000
Do e-cigarettes help smokers quit
No
Nicotine stimulates the release of multiple neurotransmitterd such as dopamine which is
The pleasure & reward area of the brain
Physical effects of nicotine
Increased
Arousal, alertness, hr, b/p, cardiac output
Decreased
Anti diuretic effect, performance enhancement
Smoking —— airway diameter, ——-ciliary activity and ——–of distal airways
Decreased
Decreased
Abnormal dilation
Are light or ultra light cigarettes safer
No
5 A’s of quitting smoking
Ask Advise Assess Assist Arrange
What forms of nicotine replacements are there
Patch Gum Lozenge Spray Inhaler
Name withdraw symptoms
Anxiety Irritability Increased appetite Restlessness Cough Dry mouth Insomnia
Is a relapse a sign of failure
No
Name non nicotine prescriptions
Zyban (bupropion) start 2 weeks prior to quit date
Chantix (varenicline) start 1 week prior to quit date, do not use with replacement nicotine products) blocks receptors in brain
What type of nicotine replacement products are prescription
Spray
Inhaler
Goal of oxygen use
Decrease work of breathing
Decrease workload of heart
Keep SaP2 over 90
Oxygen therapy improves
Survival
Exercise capacity
Cognitive function
Sleep
Indications for use of supplemental oxygen
PaO2 less than 60mm Hg
SaO2 less than 90%
PaO2 is
Pressure of oxygen dissolved in plasma
SaO2 is
How much O2 in hemoglobin
What is the O2 protocol
Less than 90%, put on oxygen
Maintain O2 saturation above 90%
What is the % of oxygen in room air
21%
Normal SaO2 is above
94% without oxygen
If O2 falls below 90%, PaO2 is below 60mm Hg what would you do
Oxygenate
Oxygen therapy requires
A physicians order
Signs/symptoms of hypoxemia
Tachypnea Dyspnea Change in skin color Tachycardia HTN Restlessness Disorientation
Safety precaution of O2 therapy
No smoking
What helps with diffusion
PaO2
When do you humidify O2
Over 2 L/min
Minimum mask flow rates
6 L/min, except venti masks
When medulla loses sensitivity to CO2 & no longer has drive to breathe
CO2 necrosis
If patient is on O2 and dyspnea increases what needs to be done
Need to lower O2
Prolonged exposure to high O2 level, dyspnea increases even though pt is on oxygen
Oxygen toxicity
High O2 washes out nitrogen and causes alveoli to collapse
Absorption atelectasis
What can happen when you have oxygen toxicity
Absorption atelectasis
Nasal canula
Low concentration
1-6 L/min
Simple face mask
Used only short periods
5-8L/min (40-60%)
Minimum 5L/min
How often should you wash and dry under a mask
Q2h
Non rebreather mask
10-15L/min (95-100%)
Valve that prevents room air and expired air from flowing back in bag
Partial rebreather mask
Reservoir bag allows pt to breathe first 1/3 exhaled air with O2
6-10 L/min (60-90%)
Cannot use with humidity
Can you use a partial rebreather mask on a COPD pt?
No because they would breathe too much CO2
Venturi mask
Delivers precise, high flow O2
Make sure there is no blockage of ports
Tracheostomy collar
Delivers high humidity and oxygen
Need to check secretions in tubing
How often should you assess patients on O2
15-30 minutes then prn
Monitors saturation of hemoglobin with O2 and HR
Pulse Ox
Where can a pulse Ox be placed
Fingers Toes Forehead Nose Earlobe
What can cause an abnormal reading in pulse Ox
Hypothermia
Goal of chronic oxygen therapy
SaO2 at least 90% or greater at rest, sleep, exertion
Need to teach the family & patient what with oxygen therapy
Safety measures
Creates air passage between mouth and posterior pharyngeal
Oral airway
Creates air passage between nose and nasopharynx
Nasal airway
Used on conscious pt’s
Ideal position for promoting oxygenating
Standing
Semi or high fowlers
HOB elevated
Good lung down
Fluid intake of about —– a day helps thins secretions
3 liters
Pursed lip breathing
COPD or dyspnea patients
Strengthens diaphragm
Decrease working of breathing, RR and O2 demand
Diaphragmatic breathing
How to purse lip breathe
In through nose
Out through mouth slowly
What is closely related to breathing
Anxiety level
Effective and controlled coughs come from where in the lungs
Deep
Lower lobes
What cough is used for those who can’t cough effectively
Quad cough
What cough is used after bronchodilator and airways stay open while moving secretions
Huff cough
IS is done when
Inhalation
10 x’s hour
Vibrates airway and loosens mucus from airway walls
Flutter device
Measures air expelled by the lungs
Used for asthma
Peak flow meter
HHN
Hand held nebulizer
MDI
Metered dose inhaler
DPI
Dry powder inhaler
Nebulizer medications
Reach lower airways
Fine mist
Can be done at home
Disadvantage of HHN
Bacterial growth in machine
What must be done before use of MDI
Shake bc of suspension
What is the most common delivery of respiratory medications
MDI’s
When using MDI how long must you wait between puffs and why
1 minute, so 2nd dose can get deeper in the lungs
What should be done after use of MDI
Rinse mouth to avoid thrush
HFA inhaler requires
Slower longer inhale
Warm mist with taste
Wash weekly
Why are MDI with spacers used
Used with patients with poor coordination
Do not shake prior to use
Rinse only mouth piece
DRy powder inhaler
Solid particles in air
Over age 5
Do not keep in humid place
What is used for the patient with excessive bronchial secretions using positioning with percussion and vibration
Chest physiotherapy
When should chest physiotherapy (CPT) be done
One hour before or 1-3 hours after meals to avoid aspiration
Forceful striking of skin with cupped hands
Percussion, never do over spine or kidneys, always over clothes
What is used on long term ventilatior patients
Inflatable vest connected to high frequency pulse generator
High frequency chest compression vest
CPAP
Continuous positive airway pressure
BiPAP
Bi-level positive airway pressure
CPAP is used during
Inspiration and expiration
For severe apnea
Lung remodeling
Ongoing process of lung repair from long term inflammation
Permanent structural changes
Assists in changing airway responsiveness to prevent attacks
Preventative therapy drugs
long term
Stops attacks once started
Immediate relief
Rescue drugs
Short acting beta 2 adrenergic agonist
Bronchodilators
Stimulate beta 2 adrenergic receptors in bronchioles, prevents release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells
SABA
decreases bronchi spasms
