What is an ambu bag?
1:1 observation
Add on humidification to prevent this complication of O2 delivery via nasal cannula
What is Epistaxis?
This non-invasive ventilation method has 2 different pressure levels, one for inhalation and one for exhalation to help reduce WOB and improve gas exchange.
What is biPAP?
You can remove the mask from this device, so your trach patient can travel off the floor.
What is a Venturi Mask?
This setting keeps the alveoli open at the end of expiration to prevent collapse
What is PEEP?

What is 21%?

What is 8-15 L/min?

What is an Obtruator?
Patient driven. Breaths are initiated by the patient, and the ventilator provides additional support throughout inspiration.

What is an Incentive Spirometer?
This type of Nasal Cannula provides heated & humidified oxygen up to 60 L/min, and FiO2 up to 100%.
What is Optiflow (high flow nasal cannula)?
Respiratory should apply _____ or _____ to patients on continuous CPAP and BiPAP
What is Liquicell or an Allevyn Pad?
If your patient's trach is at 50% fiO2, contact respiratory to help you get this set up.
What is a double humidification setup?
The ventilator delivers breaths at set intervals of time or when the patient initiates a breath. The tidal volume delivered by the vent in this mode will always be the same.
What is Assist-Control
Your patient is not maintaining their O2 on 6 L nasal cannula, you've tried suctioning and chest PT, what is the next step?
What is a non-rebreather mask & possible RRT!
