Oxygenation & Hypoxemia Flashcards
The goal is to maintain Oxygen saturation above
94%
what is the arterial O2 tension (PaO2)
whats dissolved in the plasma & partial pressure
What is the goal of PaO2?
Above 88mmHg
What is the definition of A-a
The Big A- Alveolar
The small a- arterial
How can the Alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient be increased?
by increasing FiO2
An increase in Oxygen affinity, reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, alkalosis, low temperature, low DPG, and fetal Hb, causes a shift to the
LEFT
An increase in oxygen delivery to tissues, reduced oxygen affinity, acidosis, increase in temperature and DPG, causes a shift to the
RIGHT
Definition of Hypoxemia
Abnormally low O2 in the blood
General-whole body
Tissue-localized/regional
How is hypoventilation corrected?
Increasing FiO2
What happens with hypoventilation?
PaCO2 & PACO2 increase
PAO2 decreases
Examples of LOW FLOW O2
Nasal Cannula, Simple Face Mask, Face Tent, Non-Rebreather Mask
Examples of HIGH FLOW O2
High Flow Nasal Cannula, Venturi Mask, Nebulizer, Non-invasive and Invasive Mechanical Ventilation
