Say My Name
This refers to decreased oxygen in the blood
What is hypoxemia
The chamber that prevents air from re-entering the pleural space
The water seal chamber
This is a machine that is attached to a patient's ET tube and controls the patient's respirations
What is a mechanical ventilator
This device is given to patients post op to encourage deep breathing and the prevention of atelectasis
Incentive spirometer
The is the most accurate test to determine oxygenation status of the patient.
What is an ABG
This procedure is performed to drain fluid accumulation from the pleural space.
What is a thoracentesis?
This chamber prevents air from re-entering the pleural space
What is the water seal chamber
This type of home oxygen delivery system does not need to be refilled and requires electricity or battery to operate.
Oxygen concentrator
Name two complications of a thoracentesis.
Hypovolemia, hypertension, drainage from site
What percent oxygen is room air?
21%
In this disease, the alveolar sacs lose elasticity which causes CO2 retention.
What is emphysema
There is gentle continuous bubbling in the suction chamber. What should the nurse do?
Nothing
This is the best device to use to deliver a consistent and accurate concentration of oxygen to your patient.
A venturi or venti mask
How does the nurse assess for post op hemorrhage following nasal surgery?
This is the method of draining pulmonary secretions by positioning the patient downward to let secretions drain by gravity.
What is postural drainage
A type of pneumothorax where the trachea shifts to the opposite side. Medical Emergency!
Tension Pneumothorax
Gentle rising and falling of the water level in the water seal chamber with respirations is known as what?
What is tidaling
This is the maximum amount of oxygen that can be given through a nasal cannula
6 LPM
This is an invasive procedure where a camera is advanced through the trachea and used to visual the lung tissue, take specimens, or remove secretions
bronchoscopy
This is the maximum amount of time you should apply suction during suctioning of a tracheostomy tube
What is 10 seconds
This is a chronic irreversible disease which causes inflammation and increased secretions in the airways.
What is chronic bronchitis
What should the nurse do if the chest tube accidentally gets pulled out?
This is the minimum flow rate for a nonrebreather mask
12 LPM
Name 3 dangers of oxygen therapy
oxygen toxicity, decreased respiratory drive, combustion
Interpret this ABG:
