Anatomy / Pathophysiology
These three parts make up Pharynx.
What is the Nasopharynx, Oropharynx and Laryngopharynx
Clearing gunk, vomit, or sputum from an airway
What is Suction
This is the most common airway obstruction for an unconscious patient.
What is the patient's tongue.
This range is a normal respiratory rate for children.
What is 15 to 30 breaths/min?
This device is used for delivery of breaths during CPR and depends on the rescuer to breathe
What is a pocket mask
This term describes the amount of gas in air or dissolved in fluid.
What is Partial Pressure
This is the device that would be used to ventilate a patient with risk of total respiratory arrest.
What is a BVM with 100% oxygen
Patients with an altered level of consciousness may benefit from this type of airway adjunct.
What is the Nasopharyngeal airway or NPA adjunct.
These breathes may appear even after the patient heart has stopped.
What is agonal gasps?
This potential hazard refers to the damage of cellular tissue due to excessive oxygen level in the blood.
What is oxygen Toxicity
This term describes the space between the lungs which is surrounded by tough connective tissue.
What is the Mediastinum
For use of a patient breathing well, just needs a little oxygen
Nasal Cannula
Never suction the mouth or nose for more than
What is 15 seconds.
This patient is experiencing inadequate breathing and may appear to be working hard to breath
What is labored breathing?
A nasal cannula with a flow rate of 1 to 6 L/m will deliver this much oxygen.
24% to 44% oxygen
This slippery outer membrane thinly covers all lung tissue.
What is Visceral Pleura
I would be needed if I have moderate respiratory distress and have an O2 Sat of 88 or Room Air
What is a non-rebreather
Indications for an oral airway adjunct include
What is an nresponsive patient without a gag-reflex
or
Any apneic patient being ventilated with a BVM
Skin pulling in around the ribs or above the clavicles during inspiration
What is retraction?
The pressure of the gas in a full oxygen cylinders is approximately this psi.
What is 2000 psi
This term describes ineffective respirations that may or may not have identitive patterns.
What is Ataxic Respirations
Is used when you additional patient numbers and O2 is already being measured.
What is capnography
When ventilating a patient too forcefully with a BVM, the stomach is filled with air..
What is Gastric Distension
Breathing fast and deep. Associated with high blood sugar
What is Kussmaul's respirations
This is used to help maintain a clear airway in an unconscious patient who is not injured and is breathing on his or her own with a normal respiratory rate and adequate tidal volumes.
What is the Recovery Position
