Respiratory made Easy Flashcards
(32 cards)
Which device to
use often depends on the
degree of hypoxia
any underlying and
respiratory diseases, (like (COPD).
nasal cannula with FiO2 24% to 38% should have flow of
1 to 2 liters
nasal cannula with FiO2 30% to 35% should have flow of
3 to 4 liters
nasal cannula with FiO2 38% to 44% should have flow of
5 to 6 liters
Why is the Venturi mask used for COPD
device delivers precise 02 and CO2 build up is minimal
Venturi Mask normal O2concentration, FiO2 and flow
o2 concentration 24% to 60%
FiO2: 60 to 100%
Flow 4 to 12L/min
This device is used to deliver high flow rates and high concentrations
of oxygen.
Nonrebreather face mask
Nonrebrether face mask normal FiO2 and Flow
FiO2: 60% to 100%
Flow: 6 to 15 L
Nonrebreather face mask at flow rates less than 6L/min causes
risk of rebreathing carbon dioxide
A valve closes during expiration so that exhaled air does not enter the reservoir bag and is not rebreathed. The valves on the side ports of the mask allow exhalation but close on inspiration to prevent inhalation of room air.
nonrebreather
A simple mask is usually used for patients who require a moderate flow
rate for a short period of time. generally used after surgery in the recovery room.
Simple face mask
Using low flow rates with masks (<6L) causes
build up of carbon dioxide
Simple face mask normal rates of Concentration, FiO2, and flow rate
FiO2:35% to 65%
Flow: 8 to 12L
A patient that has epiglottic swelling or inflammation could benefit from what added to the mask system
humdification on a cool mist mask system
High flow cannula system can be used for what FiO2 and liter
FiO2 21-100%
20 liters/min
Mask system needing high flow used for what FiO2 and liter per min
FiO2: 21-100%
40 liters/min
Normal pulse ox reading
above 92%
O2 saturation can do what with age? what is pulse ox needed for advanced age?
decrease
90%
Pulse ox readings for COPD patients
85-88%
What is the 6 minute walk test
a myth when it comes to qualifying a patient for home oxygen
How does a patient qualify for home oxygen with medicare? What Medicare part covers home O2?
SPO2 must be 88%or Less resting, increasing with supplimental O2
or
SPO2 88% or less doing activity, increased with supplimental O2
Medicare B covers DME and O2
Medicaid home oxygen qualification
must have ABG at rest on room air
Medicaid home oxygen qualification for Chronic Respiratory Dz
PaO2 less than 55 or PaO2 less than 60 over night (for night o2) or PaO2 less than 55 on ABG during exercise
Medicaid home oxygen qualification congestive heart Failure
PaO2 less then 60mmHg at rest with symptoms
