A

tachycardia
arrhythmia
N and V

29
Q

O2 therapy aim in acute asthma

A

92-95%

30
Q

first line COPD

A

SAMA or SABA as required

31
Q

COPD >50% FEV treatment

A

LABA or/

LAMA (stop SAMA)

32
Q

COPD <50% FEV 1

A

LABA + ICS or/

LAMA (stop SAMA)

33
Q

COPD with persistent exacerbations after treatment with LABA /LAMA/ ICS

A

LAMA + LABA +ICS combo

34
Q

roflumilast=

A

selective long-acting inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4

35
Q

use of roflumilast

A

adjunct to bronchodialtors in severe COPD associated with chronic bronchitis

36
Q

non pharma steps for COPD

A

stop smoking

vaccination

37
Q

spO2 target in COPD with hypoxic drive

A

88-92%

38
Q

haldane effect=

A

deoxygenation of blood increased hemoglobins ability to carry CO2 –> increased O2 by supplemental O2 displaces CO2 molecules increasing CO2 in blood

39
Q

in the alveoli what happens when oxygen tensions decrease

A

pulmonary capillary vasoconstriction (hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction)

40
Q

treatment for patients with an episode of hypercapnic respiratory failure

A

24 –> 28% venturi

41
Q

in most acutely ill patients what is aim o2 sats

A

94-98%

42
Q

Carbon monoxide poisoning aim =

A

100%

43
Q

patients at increased risk of hypercapnic resp failure

A

88-92%

44
Q

in acute severe asthma what is CO2 usually

A

subnormal

45
Q

in deteriorating acute severe asthma what can happen in CO2

A

may rise steeply

46
Q

what is the treatment for deteriorating asthma with rising CO2 levels

A

high conc O2 and intermittent positive pressure ventilation if PaCO2 remains high

47
Q

hypercapnic respiratory failure more common in

A

hypercapnic RF SpO2 <85% –>

A

non-rebreather mask

50
Q

LTOT used when

A

chronic COPD with chronic Hypoxemia

57
Q

acute severe COPD exacerbation treatment

A
  • bag valve mask 85% flow rate 12-15L
