Lots O' Stuff!
Are We Breathing?
Take a Deep Breath
Every Breath You Take
Breathe Again

I am the heart's normal pacemaker. I am where sinus rhythms come from
What is SA node?
100
I am the MOST COMMON O2 deliver methodd. I provide low flow O2, 22% to 50%, 1-6 L. Non-critical patients usually will get me, those who have minor breathing issues. I am so awesome.... I don't need to be humidified!
What is a nasal canula?
100
I am a support mode that give breaths with preset pressure, increased PEEP, kept constant during inspiration. An advantage is that YOU set me. Disadvantages are that there is no ventilation guarantee and the patient MUST have intact respiratory drive.
What is pressure support?
100
I am a noninvasive form of breathing support that consists of 2 pressures - one for ventilation and one for oxygenation. I am commonly used when patients have had no success with the use of my relative :)
What is bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) - Commonly used when patients fail with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
100
I am PO2. Please tell me what controls me and tell me the what the rate of change would be with titration of each
What are FiO2 (quick change) and PEEP (slow change)?
200
I am just like VTach, but in order to fix me you have to give me mag sulfate
What is Torsades de Pointe?
200
I am commonly used in COPD patients to deliver a precise amount of O2 from 24% to 60%, 4-12 L. There is no CO2 buildup with me!
What is a Venturi mask?
200
We are the 3 types of control modes
1. Volume control (VC)
2. Pressure control ventilation (PCV)
3. Pressure regulated volume control (PRVC)
200
I am an O2 delivery system and I provide fairly increased O2 at 40% to 60%, 6-10 L. However, you should not use anything less than 6 L to prevent CO2 buildup. You may also need to use a humidifier with me.
What is as simple face mask?
200
We are the 2 levels of BiPAP. Tell us who we are and what we do
What is IPAP = Ventilation (in)
What is EPAP = Oxygenation (out)
300
I am measured from the beginning of the QRS to the end of the T-wave. Tell me who I am and what my parameter is
What is QT interval? What is 0.44 sec
300
I am an O2 delivery system and I have a one-way valve that prevents exhaled air from reentering the O2 reservoir; 60% to 95% O2, 10-15 L. You get increased flow rates and increased concentrated O2 with me!
What is a nonrebreather mask?
300
If the signal is coming from the atria (but not the SA node), I will be one or the other of these rhythms
What is fibrillation or flutter?
300
I have a preset target T. vol. I am triggered by pt. breathing. The pt. determines the resp. frequency/inspiratory time. If the pt. doesn't meet the set target, the vent. will help them. A disadvantage is that the pt. MUST have intact resp. drive. Disadvantages are there is ventilation guarantee, vent. control in case of apnea, and I change on my own based on pt. compliance
What is volume support?
300
I am the SA node, and I am awesome! I am the heart's pacemaker. Any rhythm that comes from me will be this
What is sinus?
400
I am the AV node. Tell me what kind of rhythms come from me
What are junctional?
400
I am the AV node. Tell me how many beats per minute I should have
40-60
400
I am the SA node. Please tell me how many beats per minute I should have
60-100
400
I have the ability to keep the airway open in people who are able to breathe spontaneously on their own but who may need help to keep their airway from getting obstructed
What is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)?
400
I am PCO2. Tell me what 2 things control me
What is RR?
What is TV?
500
I am a CPAP, but I'm not always good for everyone. Tell me some situations where using me could be contraindicated
Unconscious or apneic
Pneumothorax
Gastric distention
Decreased CO
Severe facial trauma
Uncontrolled vomiting
Hypotension secondary to hypovolemia
500
I am CPAP. Tell me some patient conditions where you might see me do my thing!
CHF
Pulmonary edema
Near drowing
OSA
Inhalation injury
COPD
Asthma
Pneumonia
500
I am a rarely used form of intubation that only gets to come out and play when another form is not possible. Folks who can't use me include unstable C-spine injury patients, those who have oral abscesses, and those who have epiglotitis.
What is nasal intubation?
500
I am the Purkinje fibers. Please tell me how many beats per minute I should have
20-40
500
I am ventricular repol., the resting phase and am larger than a P wave. Please tell me who I am
What is a T wave?
