T OR F
Aerosol therapy is particularly challenging in children who are too young to cooperate with controlling the rate and depth of breathing.
true
_ is a procedure that use air compressor to force air through the liquid medication to form aerosol with air or with oxygen-enriched gas
NEBULIZATION
Sequential positioning of patient to allow gravity to work and encourage secretions in the alveolar periphery to move toward the bronchioles and bronchi to be coughed or suction out.
bronchial drainage
_ is a genetic (inherited) disease that causes sticky, thick mucus to build up in organs, including the lungs and pancreas
cystic fibrosis
The symptoms are caused by abnormal widening of the bronchi. The cells lining the airways become inflamed and swollen. These damaged airways can no longer effectively clear mucus and bacteria from the lung. This can lead to flare-ups of cough, mucus production, and shortness of breath
bronchiectasis
done manually using hands, or a motorized handled massager; used with percussion or as alternative in patients with chest trauma, sever pain, or who are frail to tolerate percussion
vibration
a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood using pulse oximeter
pulse oximetry
caused by various lung diseases that interfere with its ability to properly absorb oxygen
hypoxia
are rarely used today in developed countries. Oxygen concentration is difficult to control, and the child’s clothing can become saturated with water from the humidification and cause hypothermia.
oxygen tents
delivered to infants is well tolerated by using a plastic hood. At least 7 L/min of flow is necessary to maintain oxygen concentrations and remove the exhaled carbon dioxide. The humidified oxygen should not be blown directly into the infant’s face.
oxygen hood
this device delivers a variable oxygen concentration due to the effect of the RR
nasal cannula & non-rebreather
this device delivers a variable o2 concentration due to the effect of the RR
nasal cannula & non-rebreather mask
this device delivers a fixed o2 concentration
venturi valves and mask
T or F
in non-rebreather mask, if lower o2 flows are used, the bag can deflate during inspiration; a lower concentration of o2 will be delivered and the patient can re-breath co2
true
Birth in which the neonate manifests any heartbeat, breathes, or displays voluntary movement regardless of gestational age
live birth
Death of the fetus after 20 weeks of gestation and before delivery with absence of any signs of life after birth
fetal death
Death that occurs in the first 27 days of life
neonatal death
early neonatal death occurs in the _ week of life
first
late neonatal death occurs at - days
7 to 27
The primary objective in the care of high-risk infants is to _.
establish and maintain adequate respiration
After or concurrent with the establishment of respiration, the most crucial need of LBW infants is application of _
external warmth
In healthy term infants, it is recommended that axillary temperatures be maintained at -
36.5° to 37.5° C
in preterm infants, axillary temperatures of -
36.3° and 36.9° C
_ is the best source of nutrition for term and preterm infants
human milk
