O2 Delivery Devices Flashcards
How do we assess patient response to O2 therapy
ABG
Nasal Cannula
Low Flow System, flow .25-6LPM, FiO2 24-45%, uses humidifier > 4LPM, special rules- decrease in FiO2 increase minute volume, add humidity
Simple mask
Low flow, flow range- 5-10 LOL, FiO2- 35-50%, needs humidity, special rules- needs minimum 5LPM to flush CO2 from mask (has no bag, has small bore tubing)
Air-entrainment (venturi-mask)
High flow, 10LPM, FiO2- 24-50%, no humidity, speaks in terms of FiO2 (has variable air to O2 ratio. Gives exact FiO2)
Partial rebreather (emergency mask)
Low flow, 10LPM, FiO2-40-70%, no humidity, rule- keep reservoir inflated, some CO2 goes back in bag some out of mask
Non-rebreather (emergency mask)
Low flow, 10LPM, FiO2- 60-80%, no humidity, one way valve between mask and bag expiratory gas goes outside of mask
Two long pieces of large bore tubing
8-10 links for cutting
Drain Bag
Catches condensation
Trach collar (TC)
Smiley face sits up. Used on trachs
Face tent
Used on patients with facial trauma or claustrophobia.
Aerosol Mask
Has no tubing. FiO2 28%
Briggs T adapter
Green T. Way to provide humidity and O2 to someone intubated (test to see if they can come off ventilator)
Oxygen Analyzer
Validates FiO2
Total flow
Magic box
hypoxemia
low ambient 02, hypoventilation, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, shunt, or diffusion defect
Hypoxemia numbers
decreased PaO2 less than 60mmhg or SpO2 bellow 90%
Hypoxemia occur from
severe trauma, acute myocardial infarction, short-term therapy or surgical intervention
Pulse Oximetry measures
SpO2
Arterial blood gas measures
PaO2
CO- oximetry measures
SaO2
Uses Spectrophotometry
SpO2 (pulse oximeter %), SaO2 (arterial blood draw)
SaO2
arterial blood draw= analysis through co-oximeter= distinction between 4 absorption wavelenths
SaO2 4 wavelengths
- oxy-hemoglobin, 2.Carboxyhemoglobin, 3. Methemoglobin, 4. Reduced Hemoglobin
Limitations to Pulse Oximeter
Poor perfusion to sample site, motion artifact, abnormal hbg, intravascular dyes, dark nail polish, light
