What's the policy again?
Patient-centered care is achieved by establishing therapeutic relationships with patients and this.
What is family?
This value is the most sensitive indicator of adequacy of ventilation.
What is PaCO2?
This mode of ventilation is used typically for healthy lungs and will deliver a pre-set volume and RR.
What is Volume Control ventilation?
This condition is considered the most common hospital-associated infection within the ICU setting.
What is VAP - Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia?
This ABG value represents the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in the blood.
What is PaO2?
The patient must have legal capacity and necessary mental capacity to give this.
What is consent?
Lung elasticity, surface tension, and resistance of the chest wall are all factors that affect this.
What is compliance?
This pressure is the pressure needed to inflate alveoli and represents compliance.
What is plateau pressure?
This oxygen system produces a high velocity of oxygen flow through an orifice in the mask of humidifier.
What is high flow systems?
This acid-base imbalance occurs when the opposite system begins to compensate for the other and all 3 values are abnormal.
What is partially compensated?
This legal action occurs when a healthcare worker fails to meet a standard of care that results in injury to the patient.
What is negligence?
This condition is characterized by an insufficient supply of oxygen to the tissues with respect to demand.
This mode of ventilation allows the patient to initiate each breath, tidal volumes and can offer various amounts of support.
What is spontaneous mode of ventilation - pressure support/CPAP?
This detection scale is used by nurses to assess pain in ICU patient's that cannot self-assess their pain.
What is CCPOT - Critical Care Pain Observation Tool
This system may take up to 18-24hrs to respond to changes in the pH.
What is the renal system?
Unsupported families of critical patients with unmet needs and high levels of stress in ICU may suffer from this form of PTSD condition.
What is Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS)?
Disorders that decrease or stop ventilation of aveoli result in this.
What is shunting?
This form of monitoring uses a waveform to display exhaled CO2 levels and is commonly referred to as the gold standard for verifying proper ETT placement.
What is capnography?
Critical care nurses are responsible to assess and perform this daily for ventilated patients.
What is SAT - Spontaneous Awakening Trial?
These 2 factors can be changed on the ventilator to affect PaCO2.
What is RR and volume?
These 3 factors are essential to have successful interprofessional collaborative practice.
What is:
Communication
Trust
Respect (for each other's roles, responsibilities and expertise)
Hemoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen with a shift this way on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.
What is left?
Persistent high-pressure alarms may result in this dangerous consequence, where the patient's lungs are over inflated due to excessive pressure.
What is barotrauma?
This rare but potentially fatal complication is something nurses administering propofol should be aware of.
What is PRIS - Propofol Related Infusion Syndrome?
This parameter reflects the actual amount of oxygen being carried in the blood and takes into account the patient's actual hemoglobin level.
What is CaO2 (Oxygen content)?
CaO2 = PaO2 + SaO2 + Hgb
