FINALS PT3 Flashcards
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilator
TRANSTRACHEAL CATHETER
● With side vents
● Provides a
reservoir over
the face into
which oxygen
flows
● Good for
short-term use
● Not
well-tolerated
by children
SIMPLE MASKS
● “Nasal Prongs”
● Most common method
Delivers 24-45% oxygen at flow rates of 2-6
Ipm
Requires nose breathing
NASAL CANNULA
With an
inflatable bag
that stores 100%
oxygen
PARTIAL REBREATHER
MASK
● Tube made of flexible rubber or plastic
● Delivers oxygen through the nose into the
posterior nasopharynx
● For mouth-breathers and claustrophobic
clients
NASAL CATHETER
With an
inflatable bag
and one-way
valve
Delivers the
highest oxygen
concentration
NON-REBREATHER
MASK
Mask with device
that mixes a
precise amount
of atmospheric air and oxygen
Has wide bore
tubing and color
coded jet
adapters
VENTURI MASK
● “Croup tent”
● For children beyond early infancy, most likely
active toddlers
● Children should be covered with a gown or
cotton blanket
OXYGEN TENT
● “Face bucket”
● Soft piece of plastic sits beneath the chin,
mouth & nose not enclosed by plastic
● For clients with facial trauma or burns
FACE TENT
● A rigid plastic dome that encloses an infant’s
head
● Provides precise oxygen levels and high
humidity
OXYGEN HOOD
● Also called Ambu bag
● Made of rubber or silicone and forms part of
the basic life support equipment in all clinical
settings.
● Provides positive pressure ventilation and
high concentration of oxygen
MANUAL RESUSCITATION BAGS
To allow uninterrupted delivery of oxygen
while the client ingests food or fluids
NASAL CANNULA
To provide moderate O2 support and a higher
concentration of oxygen and/or humidity
than is provided by cannula.
SIMPLE FACE MASK
● To provide O2 support and a higher
concentration of oxygen
● Administered to infants who can breathe on
their own
OXYGEN HOOD
● A group of treatment that serves as a means of
clearing the lungs of accumulated mucus
● Uses gravity & physical therapy
CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY
OXYGEN LIFESPAN COMPUTATION
PSI - 200 X CYLINDER LETTER / FLOW RATE IN L /MIN
INDICATIONS FOR CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY
● With increased amounts of mucus or thick
secretions
● With weak breathing muscles
● With ineffective cough
Consist of diaphragmatic & pursed-lip breathing
& effective coughing practices to achieve a more
efficient & controlled ventilation
★ ALWAYS INHALE FROM THE NOSE because it
can filter the air, and make it warm and humid.
BREATHING/COUGHING EXERCISES
● Strengthens the diaphragm during breathing
● FREQUENCY: Five (5) minutes, several times a day
BEFORE meals & at bedtime.
DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING
● Improves oxygen transport
● Helps induce a slow, deep breathing pattern
● Helps prevent alveolar collapse
PURSED LIP BREATHING
● Enhances effects of spontaneous cough
● Serves as prophylaxis against postoperative
pulmonary complications
★ If the PT’s cough is weak, ask them to cough
again
COUGHING EXERCISE
A rhythmical force provided by clapping the
cupped hands against the chest wall of the client to
loosen or dislodge retained secretions.
CHEST PERCUSSION/CLAPPING
● Used after or alternately with percussion to loosen
secretions.
● Application of vigorous quivering or tremor to the
chest wall during expiration to help increase the
velocity of expired tidal volume from the small
airways.
CHEST VIBRATION/SHAKING
Use of specific positions to drain secretions from
the affected bronchioles of the lung segments into
the bronchi & trachea through the force of gravity.
Patient remains in each position for 10-15 minutes
POSTURAL DRAINAGE
Presence of hypotension or vasoactive medication
REVERSE TRENDELENBURG POSITION
● A process of adding medications or moisture to
inspired air.
● Improves airway clearance
NEBULIZATION
