10
Face mask and reservoir bag device that delivers specific concentrations of oxygen by mixing oxygen with inhaled air
venturi mask
When breathing completely stops
Respiratory arrest
Pulmonary Respiraton
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulating blood in the pulmonary capillaries
Pressure Regulator
device connected to an oxygen cylinder to reduce cylinder pressure so it is safe for delivery of oxygen to patient
Breathing in and out or artificial provision of breaths
ventilation
the amount of air that reaches the alveoli
Alveolar Ventilation
Tracheostomy mask
device designed to be placed over a stoma or tracheostomy tube to provide supplemental oxygen
Permanent surgical opening in the neck through which the patient breaths
Stoma
Respiratory Failure
reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen intake is not sufficient to support life
Pocket face mask
device, usually with one-way valve to aid in artificial ventialation
Rescuer breaths through the valve when the mask is placed over the patients face
Respiratory distress
increased work of breathing, shortness of breath
Frocing air or oxygen into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has inadequate breathing
Artificial ventilation
Automatic transport ventilator
device that provides positive pressure ventilation
settings designed to adjust ventilation create and volume, carried on an ambulance
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and circulating blood
Cellular Respiration
Cyanosis
blue or gray color resulting from lack of oxygen in the body.
Molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Diffusion
Bag-valve mask
handheld device with face mask and self refilling bag that can be squeezed to provide artificial ventilations to a patient
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the blood and between the blood and the cells
Respiration
Valve that indicates flow of oxygen in liters per minute
flowmeter
Device connected to flowmeter to add moisture to dry oxygen coming from an oxygen cylinder
humidifier
Hypoxia
an insufficiency of oxygen in the body's tissues
Nasal Cannula
device that delivers low concentrations of oxygen through two prongs that rest in the patient's nostrils
Nonrebreather Mask (NRB)
face mask and reservoir bag device that delivers high concentrations of oxygen
Patient's exhaled air escapes through a valve and is not rebreathed.
Oxygen Cylinder
a cylinder filled with oxygen under pressure
Partial Rebreather Mask
face mask and reservoir oxygen bag with no one-way valve to the reservoir bag, so some exhaled air mixes with the oxygen
used in some patients to preserve carbon dioxide levels in the blood to stimulate breathing
