Q

Precautions of swan ganz catheter

A
  • may produce bleeding
  • vessel rupture
  • dysrhythmias
  • pneumothorax
  • and other life-threatening complications
  • patients are often on bedrest
17
Q

Dialysis center

A

used for exchanging blood to and from the hemodialysis machine from the patient

18
Q

What are the two lumens the dialysis center contains

A

venous and arterial

19
Q

ICP monitor

A

monitoring device to determine the pressure in the brain.
-consists of a small tube (catheter) attached to the patient’s skull by either a ventriculostomy, subarachnoid bolt, or screw and is connected to a transducer which registers the pressure

20
Q

Feeding tube

A

A surgically inserted tube into the small intestine which delivers nutrition directly into the stomach

21
Q

Precautions of feeding tube:

A
  • Keep HOB elevated during active feeding

- Aspiration risk

22
Q

Shunt

A

A surgically-placed tube running from the ventricles which deposits excess fluids into either the abdominal cavity, heart, or large veins of the neck

23
Q

Hemovac drain

A

removes any blood or other fluids that might build up in an area

24
Q

Precaution of hemovac drain

A

Avoid tension on line

25
Q

Jackson-Pratt Drain

A

Post operative drainage for collecting bodily fluids from surgical sites

26
Q

Rectal tube

A

A long slender tube inserted into the rectum to relieve chronic flatulence

27
Q

Foley catheter

A

-Used to collect urine, can be external and internal

28
Q

Endotracheal Tube- ETT

A

Established and maintains airway and ensure the adequate exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

29
Q

Tracheostomy

A

Stoma can serve by itself independently as an airway or as a site for tracheostomy tube to be inserted

30
Q

First-line option

A
  • Standard Nasal canula

- Venturi mask

31
Q

Venturi mask

A

Mixes oxygen with room air, creating high flow enriched oxygen of a certain concentration

32
Q

What is a Second-line option?

A

Simple face mask

33
Q

Simple face mask->indicated for patients with

A

nasal irritation or epistaxis (nose bleed)

-useful for mouth breathers

34
Q

Second-line options

A

Nonrebreathing face mask with resorvoir and one-way valve

-delivers higher concentrated oxygen

35
Q

Second-line options- Reservoir cannulas

A

improves the efficiency of oxygen delivery

-patients may be well oxygenated at lower flows

36
Q

High flow transtracheal catheter

A
  • delivers oxygen directly into catheter

- patients who have been extubated may benefit from an interim trial

37
Q

High flow warmed and humidified nasal oxygen

A
  • nasal oxygen has been administered at lows ranging from 10-40 L/m
  • When this oxygen is warmed to body temperature and saturated to full humidity, it is comfortable
  • Alleviated dyspnea and improved respiratory parameters as compared to other devices
