Chpt. 10 Airway Management Flashcards
Upper Airway

- nasal air passage
- pharynx
- oropharynx
- mouth
Lower Airway
- Trachea
- Bronchioles
- Main bronchus
ABC
Airway, breathing, circulation
(ability to breath is priority)
Maintaining a patient Airway is Critical intrinsic factor
- Infection
- allergic
- Unresponsive
Inadequate ventilation
- physical obstruction (FBAO)
- unequal chest rise and fall
- cyanosis
- shallow vent.
- Accessory muscle retraction
(Inadequate perfusion)
Pulmonary Embousm
A condition in which one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs gets blocked by a blood clot. This causes chest pain, breathlessness and cough.
Inadequate perfusion
- bleeding clotting
- pulmonary swelling

Respiration
The actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the Alveoli as well as the tissues of the body
Nebulizer
Oxygen through medication
- 8 litters
Non-rebreather mask
- respiratory distress
- saturation 90
- Trama patient
BVM
- Ventilatory support
- Trama, unconscious, conscious
C-PAP
Continuous positive Airway pressure
