Oxygen Therapy
3 Goals of oxygen therapy
Decrease hypoxemia (Sa02 increase)
Decrease WOB (RR)
Decrease myocardial work (HR)
Device used with MDI therapy to help improve the medication delivery.
What is a spacer?
Device used to monitor airway patency in asthmatic patients.
What is a peak flow?
Incentive spirometry is used to treat.
What is atelectasis?
Device used to humidify the airway of a trach patient that is on a mechanical ventilator.
What is an HME?
Hazard of oxygen therapy
Oxygen induced hypoventilation/hypoxic drive in COPD patients
Preferred method of medication delivery for stable patients.
What is an MDI?
The patient's peak flow is a normal result.
What is the green zone?
Preoperatively before the surgery.
When is the ideal time to teach IS?
This device is used with heated wire circuits on high flow nasal cannulas and mechanical ventilators.
What is a heated passover humidifier?
Carbon Monoxide poisoning
100% Non rebreather mask
When do you depress the MDI device?
As the patient is inhaling?
The patient's peak flow is severly decreased.
What is the red zone?
Take a deep breath in, try to hold it for 3-5 seconds, then fully exhale.
What is the proper instruction for using IS?
Devices used primarily for short term humidity therapy with mechanical ventilator patients.
What is an HME?
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Treats diabetic foot wounds, CO poisoning, N2 bubbles in the blood.
The medication order is incomplete.
When to call the MD?
The first step in delivering medications to a patient.
What is checking the MD orders?
The capacity that is measured by using incentive spirometry.
What is inspiratory capacity?
Patients must rinse their mouth after using steroid inhalers or nebulizers.
What is oral thrush?
Pa02/Sa02 doesn't increase when increasing the Fi02
What is shunting?
Rescue drug for asthmatic treatment.
What is Albuterol 2.5 mgs?
The patient's Hb level is very low, below 7 grams.
What is anemic hypoxemia?
Post operative pneumonia is caused by this.
What is retained secretions?
Mucus clearance device that can be used by the patient at home.
What is flutter valve therapy?
