What is normal ETC02?
35-45 mmHg

Difference between oxygenation & ventilation?
Ventilation is the mechanical process of moving air into and out of the lungs, while oxygenation refers to the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and subsequently to the body's tissues
100
What is the difference between a pulse ox & end tidal?
Pulse oximetry measures oxygen saturation in the blood, while end-tidal CO2 measures the amount of carbon dioxide in exhaled air

Which river is considered the longest in South America?
Amazon River
200
What is considered Hypercapnia? Most common cause?
-above 45 mmHg
-Hypoventilation
200
2 diseases under the COPD umbrella?
Chronic Bronchitis & Emphysema

The Shape of a waveform should be..
Rectangular with rounded corners

What has a head, and a tail, is brown, and has no legs?
a penny

What is considered Hypocapnia? Common causes?
-below 35 mmHg
-Hyperventilation or poor metabolic state (shock)

Describe how we document ETCO2/Capnography at cars
End-tidal must be documented under "Procedures" in Image Trend
"Z-End tidal carbon dioxide concentration" - nasal ETCO2 placement
"Confirm - ETCO2 capnography" - confirmation of advanced airway placement
Under the "Rx" section of the narrative, provide a rationale for utilizing ETCO2.
When validating data from Lifepak, look for erroneous respiratory rates and ETCO2 values and delete them.

-bronchospasm
-Bronchodilators/epi

Is Asthma an oxygenation or ventilation problem?
When would you give epi?
Ventilation
-Fatiguing patient/ silent chest

If a patient begins to metabolize anaerobically and they become unstable, what is their body most likely deprived of?
oxygen
400
which blood type is universal recipient?
AB positive

In severe asthmatics, what could a normal wave form/rate mean?
Could mean your patient is tiring out. Attacks start with hyperventilation, as they get tired it normalizes and then will start to retain, having air trapping/acidosis/hypercapnia.

-Exposed to a source/immune response
- edema -Hypotension. -SOB
-swelling. -Urticaria -Tachycardia
-Gi S/S -Diaphoresis
