oxygen therapy
what are non-invasive ventilations
avoid an artificial airway
1. CPAP
2. BiPAP
what is the purpos of airway clearance
maintenance and promotion of lung expansion
how do you know when to stop suctioning
10 seconds
breathing normally
no secretions
what is the point of an oral airway
prevents obstruction of the trachea by displacement of the tongue in the oropharynx
who uses a CPAP
-obese
-snoring
-older adults
what does FiO2 mean
fraction of inspired oxygen concentration (the percent)
what are some techniques for airway clearance
ambulation
positioning (postural drainage)
incentive spirometry
for each technique, is it clean or sterile
oropharyngeal: clean
nasopharyngeal: clean
orotracheal: sterile
nasotracheal: sterile
tracheal: sterile
who do we use oral airways for
1) after surgery
2) after seizures
3) drunk/drugs
why use a CPAP
steady stream of air
what can we delegate to UAPs
applying a nasal cannula or oxygen mask to AP AFTER the method and amount of oxygen is determined
5-10 breaths per session every hour when awake and breath in
describe the orotracheal and nasotracheal way
sterile
no longer than 10 seconds
suction ONLY when withdrawing
why do we use ET tubes
1. can't breathe on their own
2. administer invasive mechanical airways
what does a BiPAP do
pushing pressure against liquids and helps respiration
can UAP assess
no.
what happens if there is no airway clearance
immobility...
collaspe alveoli
collapsed lungs
describe the tracheal way
sterile
no longer than 10 seconds
suction ONLY when withdrawing
80-120 mmHg
what do you watch for during ET tubes
VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia)
what is maintaining these airways for BiPAP and CPAP
pressure
what is chest physiotherapy
for drainage and sections (postural drainage)
-external chest wall manipulation using percussion, vibrations, or high-frequency chest wall compressions
how do you breathe in
slow deep breaths
can you delegate, and what is the point of lubricating
only nose and mouth
and it helps break up secretions
what is a benefit of a tracheostomy airway
long term
you can go home with it
what is the point of the catheter for a rib cage, and how do RN monitor it
lungs= pneumothorax
draining, watch the dressing, monitor O2, BP/HR/RR
