The name of the condition that occurs when air or gas that can build up in the pleural space. This can be caused by a lung disease or acute lung injury.
What is a pneumothorax?
100
This is the location of the ventilator at LSSH.
What is PACU?
100
The blood infused in the SureTrans System originates from this source.
What is the patient?
100
This is the location of the MH cart.
What is the treatment room?
100
This is the acronym we use at LSSH to respond to a code red.
What is RACE (Rescue, Alarm, Confine, Extinguish)?
200
This is the test that is ordered immediately after chest tube placement to confirm position.
What is chest x-ray?
200
This color identifies an oxygen connection on the wall at LSSH.
What is green?
200
This is the amount of uses the SureTrans is indicated for.
What is one patient?
200
Increased _______ ________ ____ is an early sign of malignant hyperthermia. Hint: This defined as the partial pressure of CO2 at the END of an exhaled breath. The normal values are 35-45 mmHg.
What is ETCO2 (end tidal CO2)?
200
This is the code that would be called at LSSH for severe weather conditions.
What is code gray?
300
This is the type of dressing applied to a chest tube insertion site.
What is an occlusive dressing (using petroleum gauze)?
300
This is the volume of air delivered to the patient with each cycle, usually 8 to 12 cc/kg.
What is tidal volume?
300
This is the position that the SureTrans Autotransfusion system must be in whenever it contains more than 500 ml of fluid.
What is upright?
300
These are the 3 locations of cooled IV fluids.
What is the treatment room, anesthesia room, and omnicell in PCU medication room?
300
This is the kill time for Cavicide wipes.
What is 3 minutes?
400
This can be a complication associated with chest tubes. This can cause a shift of the mediastinum and compromise hemodynamic stability. Signs and symptoms include hypotension, distended jugular veins, absent/decrease breath sounds, tracheal shift, hypoxemia, weak and rapid pulse, chest pain, dyspnea, tachypnea.
What is a tension pneumothorax?
400
This is a setting that prompts the ventilator to deliver positive pressure to the airway throughout the respiratory cycle. It works only on patient who can breathe spontaneously.
What is CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure)?
400
This is the amount of time in which reinfusion must begin after initiation of collection time.
What is 6 hours?
400
This is the initial dose of Dantrolene administered IV for malignant hyperthermia.
What is 2.5 mg/kg?
400
These are the 3 items that must be included in a "time out" at LSSH.
What is correct patient identity, correct site/side, and the procedure to be done.
500
This is the middle chamber of a traditional chest tube drainage system. The main purpose of this is to allow air to exit from the pleural space on exhalation and prevent air from entering the pleural cavity or mediastinum on inhalation.
What is a water seal chamber?
500
This is the positive pressure applied at the end of each expiration to increase the area for oxygen exchange by helping to inflate and keep open collapsed alveoli.
What is PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure)?
500
This is one contraindication for the use of the SureTrans Autotransfusion System.
What is (any of the following): Systemic Infections; Suspected infection of wound or drain site(s); Septic contamination of autologous blood; Malignant neoplasms in the area of blood accumulation; Collected blood containing topical hemostatic agents, topical antiseptics, or antibiotics contraindicated for systemic use
500
These are three signs and symptoms of malignant hyperthermia.
What is increased ETCO2, trunk or total body rigidity, tachycardia, tachypnea, acidosis, dysrhythmias, hypotension, myoglobinuria, and elevated temperature?
500
These are 3 of the 2016 National Patient Safety Goals.
What is.. 1. Identify patients correctly 2. Improve staff communication 3. Use medicines safely 4. Use alarms safely 5. Prevent infection (hand hygiene, prevent UTIs caused by catheters) 6. Identify patient safety risks (suicide screen) 7. Prevent mistakes in surgery (time out, marking patients)
