Study These Flashcards
A

responsible for construction standards

25
National Fire Protection Agency
sets standards for storing medical gases
26
Food and Drug Administration
determines purity standards and labeling
27
Compressed Gas Association
sets safety standards by making recommendations
28
High flow nasal cannula
-loss of muscle tone -#cause of sleep apnea -obstruction caused by tongue -loss of consciousness -central nervous system depression -drugs
29
advantages of LVN
-controlled FiO2 -humidification -optional heat (heater donut)
30
indications for LVN
-trach patient (not ventilated) -trach mask -t-piece -oxyhood (for babies) -face tent
31
Large volume nebulizers (lvn)
-bland aerosol setup -wet set -trach setup
32
magic box
-air:o2 ratio -entrainment devices(venturi mask, lvn, jet nebulizer)
33
patient inspiratory demand (flow)
=Ve x 3 (Ve=Vtxf)
34
device total flow
=(air:O2) x flow rate
35
venturi mask-Bernouli's principle
-the amount of air entrained varies directly with the size of the port and velocity of O2 at the jet -velocity of a substance- gas moving through a tube at a constant flow is indirectly to the diameter of the tube. (the smaller the tube, the faster the velocity)
36
venturi mask
-air-entrainment mask -flow varies; should provide output flow more than 60 lpm -O2 range: 24-50 % -best for pts in unstable condition who need precise low FiO2 - the higher the FiO2 the lower the total flow
37
Calculating FiO2
FiO2= 21 or 20 + (4 x liter flow)
38
high flow devices
deliver more total flow than a patient's inspiratory demand
39
nasal cannula
-up to 6 lpm -variable oxygen stability -for pts in stable condition who need low FiO2 -easy to use, disposable, low cost -O2 range: 22-40% -low flow
40
non-rebreather mask
-minimum of 10 lpm (always flush)\ -O2 range: 60-80% -best for emergencies; short term therapy requiring high FiO2 -low flow
41
low flow devices
deliver less than the total flow than a patient's inspiratory demand
42
alveolar gas equation (PAO2)
-PAO2=(Patm-PH2O) x FiO2 - (PaCO2/RQ) or -PAO2=(Patm-PH2O) x FiO2 - (PaCO2x1.25) -Patm or Pb is 760 -PH2O is 47
43
PAO2
partial pressure of alveolar pressure
44
room air
21% oxygen
45

49
histotoxic hypoxia (cellular hypoxia)
-dysoxia: inadequate tissue oxygenated -normal PaO2 and hemoglobin -inability of mitochondria to metabolize O2 -severe acidema (low pH) -severe alkalemia (high pH)
50
examples of histotoxic hypoxia
-cyanide poisoning -carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
51

52
examples of anemic hypoxia
-carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning -trauma (bleeding) -malnutrition -iron deficiency -B12 deficiency bone marrow problems
53
anemic hypoxia
-normal PaO2 -reduced Hb to carry oxygen to tissues -blood loss (and therefore oxygen loss) -reduced blood content of arterial blood (CaO2) -CaO2=(hb x 1.34)(SaO2/100)+(PaO2x0.003)
54
4 points of partial pressure
-atmosphere -airway -alveoli -artery
55
hypoxic hypoxia
-low arterial PO2 (PaO2) -low atmospheric O2 -inadequate alveolar ventilation -insufficient O2 diffusion through capillaries -less hemoglobin (Hb) is converted to oxy-hemoglobin -low A-aDO2
56
causes of hypoxic hypoxia
-high altitude -fluid in lungs (pulmonary edema) -airway obstruction -lung disease (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis,etc)
57
4 types of hypoxia
-anemic -hypoxic -ischemic/circulatory -histotoxic/tissue
58

cellular deficiency of oxygen
59
