Ventricular Assist Devices
100
This type of ventilation delivers a preset airway pressure for a predetermined inspiratory time interval (pg 467)
What is pressure control ventilation
100
Oxygen saturation less than this percentage is a sign of increase distress during ventilator weaning (pg 470-471)
What is 90%
100
This color indicates oxygen supply (pg 445)
What is green
100
This is the precaution for a patient on a nasoenteric feeding tube (pg 456)
What is aspiration
100
This pump requires the least amount of power to operate out of all other VAD’s (pg 479)
What is the pulsatile pump
200
This technique of ventilation is rarely used but utilizes inspiratory to expiratory ratio of more than 1:1 and it can be delivered as a pressure-controlled or volume-cycled mode (pg 467)
What is inverse ratio ventilation
200
These two weaning methods are superior to IMV (pg 470-471)
What are are a T-piece and PSV
200
This device allows for humidity to be added to the oxygen the patient receives (pg 444)
What is a bubble humidifier
200
The purpose of this medical device is to deliver IV medications or fluids for up to 4-6 weeks (pg 456)
What is a mid-line catheter
200
This mechanical pump is internal to the patient (pg 479)
What is a intracorporeal VAD
300
This ventilation is primarily used in weaning patients from a ventilator and is the only one to have a set parameter (pg 467)
What is mandatory minute ventilation
300
In order to attempt to wean the patient from mechanical ventilation, the tidal volume has to be greater than this (pg 470-471)
What is 325 mL
300
This type of intervention is normally deferred if the patient requires a non-rebreather mask (pg 444)
What is physical therapy
300
A large bore tube inserted via the nostril, through the esophagus and into the stomach makes up this device (pg 456)
What is a nasogastric tube
300
This VAD provides a profound reduction in these two measurements of the heart (pg 479)
What is left ventricular pressure and volume
400
This type of ventilation exposes the chest wall to subatmospheric pressure during inspiration to reduce intrapleural pressure, thereby allowing air to enter the lungs (pg 467)
What is negative pressure ventilators (pg 467)
400
This weaning device has the patient breathing off the ventilator while remaining intubated for increased periods of time (pg 470-471)
What is a T-piece
400
Additional one way valves on the side of this type mask allows expired gases to exit (pg 444)
What is a non-rebreather mask
400
The three veins that are used as insertional sites for a mid-line catheter are the brachial, cephalic, and this vein (pg 456)
What is the basilic vein
400
This pump assists both ventricles (pg 479)
What is a BiVAD
500
This technique of ventilation is administered with frequencies of 100-3000 breaths/min and consequently small tidal volumes of 1-4 ml/kg (pg 467)
What is high-frequency oscillation ventilation
500
This trial consists of the patient breathing spontaneously for 15 to 30 minutes while being closely monitored (pg 470-471)
What is is a spontaneous breathing trial
500
The reservoir bag on these type of masks should remain at least 1/3 to ½ full (pg 443)
What are non-rebreather and partial non-rebreather masks
500
This is another name for a dobbhoff tube (pg 456)
What is a nasoenteric feeding tube
500
In the absence of a pulse and a blood pressure, the therapist must rely on the patient’s symptoms, dyspnea on exertion and this (pg 479)
What is rate of perceived exertion
