If the Lung Fits
This structure is commonly known as the windpipe.
What is the trachea?
This gas is needed by cells to produce energy.
What is oxygen?
A low-flow oxygen device that fits in the nostrils.
What is a nasal cannula?
The normal pH range of arterial blood.
What is 7.35-7.45?
The "C" in CPAP stands for this.
What is Continuous?
The primary muscle of inspiration.
What is the diaphragm?
This waste gas is removed during exhalation.
What is carbon dioxide?
This device measures oxygen saturation.
What is a pulse oximeter?
ABG: pH 7.30, PaCO₂ 55, HCO₃⁻ 24.
What is respiratory acidosis?
CPAP is often used to improve this process in the lungs by keeping alveoli open.
What is oxygenation?
The trachea divides into these two airways.
What are the right and left mainstem bronchi?
The movement of air into and out of the lungs.
What is ventilation?
This emergency device is used to manually ventilate patients.
What is a bag-valve mask (BVM)?
ABG: pH 7.52, PaCO₂ 30, HCO₃⁻ 24.
What is respiratory alkalosis?
In BiPAP, this pressure helps support inhalation and increase tidal volume.
What is IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure)?
These microscopic air sacs are where gas exchange occurs.
What are alveoli?
This protein in red blood cells carries oxygen.
What is hemoglobin?
This oxygen mask can deliver up to nearly 100% oxygen when used correctly.
What is a non-rebreather mask?
ABG: pH 7.28, PaCO₂ 40, HCO₃⁻ 18.
What is metabolic acidosis?
The difference between IPAP and EPAP is known by this term.
What is pressure support?
Which mainstem bronchus is more vertical and more likely to receive aspirated objects?
What is the right mainstem bronchus?
The movement of oxygen from alveoli into the bloodstream is called this.
What is diffusion?
This artificial airway passes through the mouth into the trachea.
What is an endotracheal tube?
pH 7.40, PaCO₂ 50, HCO₃⁻ 30
What is fully compensated respiratory acidosis?
This condition is a major contraindication to noninvasive ventilation because the patient cannot protect their airway.
What is decreased level of consciousness/unable to protect the airway?
