Special Delivery
While maintaining a constant flow this device allows the user to change the % of oxygen delivered
What is a Venturi mask?
This upper airway filters, warms and humidifies the air we breathe.
What is the nasopharynx?
The amount of air that is moves in/out of lungs in one breath.
What is Tidal Volume?
Due to a child's larger occiput region, placing a towel here creates an open airway through neutral positioning.
What is a towel placed under the child's shoulders?
The act of moving air in/out of lungs
What is Ventilation?
Flow meter 1-6LPM
prongs
24%-44% inspired oxygen
What is a nasal cannula?
The hard and soft palate, tongue and uvula are parts of this upper airway area.
What is the oropharynx?
The Volume of air moved in/out of lungs in one minute
What is minute volume?
This is the only tracheal ring that is complete.
What is the cricoid ring?
The process of loading O2 molecules onto hemoglobin molecules in the bloodstream.
What is Oxygenation?
used for significantly higher hypoxemic patients
With a good seal and 15LPM flowing can deliver up to 90% O2
What is a non-rebreathing mask?
This structure is the defining line marking the upper airway from the lower airway.
What is the larynx?
The volume of air moved in/out of lungs in 1minute minus the dead space.
What is alveolar minute volume?
The muscles in this area of children are more pliable than those of an adult.
What is the chest cavity?
The actual exchange of oxygen with Carbon dioxide with alveolar tissues.
What is external respiration?
This is the rate of ventilation for a child/infant using a bag valve mask
What is every 2-3 seconds?
This structure allows food to pass without going into the trachea.
What is the epiglottis?
The amount of air that can be forcibly expelled after breathing in as deeply as possible.
What is vital capacity?
HChildren rely heavily on this muscle for breathing.
What is the diaphragm?
Infants and small children are belly breathers
The exchange of oxygen with carbon dioxide at the tissue level within the body
What is internal respiration?
This is the adult rate of ventilation in rescue breathing AND an intubated patient
What is one breath every 6 seconds?
Two features of the oropharyngeal airway are these.
What are Keep the tongue from occluding the airway
Makes it easier to suction the airway?
The air that remains in the lungs after maximal expiration.
What is Residual volume?
This structure in a child is omega shaped but grows thicker and more leaf shaped in adults.
What is the epiglottis?
Exhalation does not normally require muscular effort therefore it is this type of process
What is passive?
