ALVEOLI
PERCENTAGE OF AIR WE BREATHE IS MADE OF WHAT PERCENTAGE OF 02
21%
MOST COMMON METHOD OF ASSISTING VENTILATIONS IN THE FIELD
BVM WITH 02 RESERVOIR AND SUPPLEMENTAL 02
SIGNS OF INADEQUATE BREATHING
DIMINISHED BREATH SOUNDS
THE DIAPHRAGM RELAXES, MOVINGING UPWARDS, DECREASING SPACE IN THE CHEST CAVITY
EXHALATION
SPACE BETWEEN THE LUNGS
MEDIASTINUM
CONCETRATION OF INSPIRED 02 PROVIDED BY A NC SET BETWEEN 1 AND 6 LPM.
24% TO 44%
WHEN VENTILATING A PT WITH A BVM YOU SHOULD
LOOK FOR ADEQUATE RISE AND FALL OF THE CHEST
OCCASIONAL GASPING BREATHS BUT UNABLE TO MAINTAIN LIFE
AGONAL BREATHS
BACKUP SYSTEM TO CONTROL RESPIRATIONS
HYPOXIC DRIVE
MOVES DOWN SLIGHTLY WHEN IT CONTRACTS DURING INHALATION
DIAPHRAGM
THE NORMAL RESPIRATORY RATE FOR AN ADULT
12-20 BREAHTS PER MINUTE
SUCTION FOR NO MORE THAN
15 SECONDS
C02 POISONING, HYPOTHERMIA, FINGERNAIL POLISH
CAN RESULT IN INACCURATE PULSE OX READING
EXCHANGE OF AIR BETWEEN LUNGS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
VENTILATION
RAISES THE RIBS WHEN THEY CONTRACT
INTERCOSTAL MUSCLE
MOST COMMON AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION IN AN UNCONSCIOUS PT
FOOD
IN _______MINUTES WITHOUT OXYGEN BRAIN DAMAGE IS VERY LIKELY
6-10 MINUTES

APPLY OXYGEN
AMOUNT OF AIR MOVED INTO AND OUT OF THE LUNGS IN ONE BREATH
TIDAL VOLUME
IRREGULAR BREATING PATTERN WITH INCREASES RATE AND DEPTH FOLLOWED BY APNEA
CHEYNE-STOKES

CORNER OF THE MOUTH TO THE TIP OF THE EARLOBE
THE BRAINSTEM NORMALLY TRIGGERS BREATHING NY INCREASING RESPIRATIONS WHEN
C02 LEVELS INCREASE
