O O it's magic
Transportation method of oxygen through the blood.
What is hemeglobin
Air in the pleural cavity, which causes the lung to collapse.
What is pneumothorax
A test that measures the carbon dioxide (CO2) in inhaled and exhaled air.
What is capnography.
This techniques is used most often to clean tracheotomies in the home setting.
Clean technique
Low flow and low concentration delivery method. Usually first option. 1-6 lpm
What is a nasal cannula
What is the drive to breathe in a healthy person.
What is increased CO2 levels
The exchange of the gases oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
What is respiration
Breathing pattern when depth increases then gradually decreases to apnea.
What is Cheyne-Stokes respirations.
Device on a trach that prevents aspiration of oral fluids.
What is balloon cuff
This is added to oxygen delivery system to are attached to oxygen delivery systems to moisten the dry oxygen and keep secretions thin and mobile.
What is a humidifier.
Method of assessing the expandability of the chest wall.
What is diaphragmatic excursion
Movement of air in and out of the lungs
What is ventilation
Adventitious lung sound created by popping open of alveoli.
What is crackles.
At what point in the process should the suction port be occluded to provide suction and for how long.
What is when in position to remove secretions and for a max of 10 seconds.
O2 delivery that can give precise percentages. 4-8 LPM and 24-50% O2.
What is Venturi mask
When O2 concentrations of more than 50% are administered for longer than 48 to 72 hours this may occur.
What is oxygen toxicity.
Functional unit of the lung
What is alveoli
Fingernail polish, contractures, blood pressure cuffs, and decreased blood flow all affect the reading of which oxygen monitoring device.
What is pulse ox probe.
A method of providing 100% oxygen to a patient prior to suctioning.
What is hyperoxygenate
Delivers the highest possible amount of FIO2 with a mask. Has a one way valve that allows only delivered oxygen to be inhaled, no atmospheric air.
What is nonrebreather mask
A client is receiving O2 at 4LPM. The oxygen % is____?
What is 36%.
Fluid in the lungs.
What is pleural effusion
Test that measures the partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in plasma.
What is ABG.
What is the amount of negative pressure that the nurse should apply to perform suction on an adult patient.
What is 100-150 mm Hg
Oxygen delivery device that is used when a client is unstable, has an upper airway obstruction, and will require extensive ventilation for an extended period of time.
What is tracheostomy.
