Hypoxia
Position to promote chest expansion and to maximize ventilation
What is semi-Fowler's or Fowler's position?
Highly prescribed thing in the hospital that we need to survive
What is oxygen?
Normal SPO2 of patients with no special conditions?
What is 95%-100%?
Tubing with two small prongs for insertion into the nares
Delivers an FiO2 of 24% to 44% at a flow rate of 1-6 L/min
What is a nasal cannula?
Too few red blood cells or abnormal or too little hemoglobin
It delivers an FiO2 of 35% to 50% at flow rates of 6-12 L/min
Easy to apply and can be more comfortable than a nasal cannula
What is a simple face mask?
Stupor, Cyanotic skin, and mucous membranes, Bradypnea, Bradycardia, Hypotension, Cardiac dysrhythmias, Clubbing of the fingernails
What are the late signs of hypoxia?
Delivers an FiO2 of 24%-50% at flow rates of 4-12 L/min via different size adapters, which allows specific amounts of air to mix with oxygen
What is a venturi mask?
What are three causes of hypoxia?
Pneumonia
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
COVID-19
Asthma
Emphysema
Bronchitis
Sleep apnea
Pulmonary fibrosis
Heart defects/ congenital heart defects
Loss of blood (anemia)
High altitude
Delivers FiO2 of 80% to 95% at flow rates of 10 to 15 L/min to keep the reservoir bag ⅔ full during inspiration and expiration
What is a non-rebreather mask?
