Q

Respiratory functions involves what three processes

A

Air moves into and out of lungs
O2 and CO2 are exchanged at the alveoli
Blood Carrie’s O2 to the cells and removes CO2 from them

38
Atelectasis
Portion of the alveoli collapse
39
Incentive spirometer

42
How much oxygen is in the air we breath
21%
43
Liquid oxygen system
A portable unit is filled from stationary container
44
If fire occurs
Turn off oxygen and get out
45

53
Tracheostomy tube
Inserted through a surgically created opening into the trachea
54
The three parts of the tracheostomy
Obturator is used as a guide Inner cannula is inserted and locked into place Outer cannula is not removed
55
Extubation
Tube must not come out
56
As a Psw you can suction
Oro- pharyngeal The mouth
57
The sensor on a pulse oximeter is used
Not only on the finger
58
