INCR.
which airway follows the normal curvature of the tonue and extends past the base?
Oropharyngeal
CANNOT have gag reflex, must be sedated
which airway limits gag reflex
nasopharyngeal
which art. airway allows eating/talking and is long term
Tracheostomy
which art. airway is fast, easy, and done in the ER
Endotracheal tube
how long should an ETT be in place?
7-10 days
When intubating:
what position
sedated in SNIFF position :hyperextend neck
limit intubation to how many seconds
30
where does ETT sit anatomically?
3-4 cm above carina
Indications of ventilator support
- relief of upper airway obstruction
- PaO2 45
- remove secretions
- prevent massive aspiration of stomach contents
- GCS
What must you do before suctioning? And how long do you suction for?
Give 3 100% breaths
suction no more that 10-15 sec
Soft cuff effect of pressure and volume
DECR pressure
INCR volume
Hard cuff effect of pressure and volume
INCR pressure
DECR volume
Types of ventilators:
1) NEGATIVE pressure
decreases atmospheric pressure to initiate respirations
Types of ventilators:
2) POSITIVE pressure
fills lungs with gas to expand lungs
* more common
Initial Ventilator Settings FiO2- Mode f Tv
FiO2- 0.5-1 (50%-100%)
Mode- AC (assisted control)
f- 8-12/min
Tv- 6-10 (4-8 if compromised)
Vent Modes:
AC/CMV
continued mandatory volume
-delivers a preset tidal volume always
Vent Modes:
SIMV
spontaneous and mechanical breathing
* used for weaning
Vent Modes:
PEEP
opens alveoli at end of exhale
PEEP normal values
3-5
PEEP indications
if FiO2 >50 for >24 hours- oxygen toxicity
