45
Q

gold standard for TOF

A

adductor pollicis/ulnar nerve

guarantees function has also returned to diaphragm(phrenic)

46
Q

Pouiseuille’s Law

A

states that flow rate is proportional to the radius to the fourth power

47
Q

removing the ETT will _____ TV

A

increase tidal volume
higher flow rate due to larger radius of airway compared to ETT

48

49
Q

what determines CO2 changes in body

A

chemosensitive area in medulla

50
Q

how can I increase pts CO2?

decrease minute ventilation
- decrease TV
- decrease RR

51
Q

2nd determinant of return to spontaneous breathing

«100mmHg

53

55
Q

best vital sign for determining if breathing is adequate

A

CO2

unless on ventilator assistance (pressure support)

56
Q

best monitor for analgesic needs

A

Respiratory rate (for spontaneous ventilation)

57
Q

target respiratory rate on SV for wakeup

A

12-18 breaths per minute

18+: more pain
<12: longer wakeup time

58
Q

Anti-Emetic Regime

A

everyone gets Zofran

different agents work at different time frames/duration

some can last 72 hrs post wake-up so we need to ensure pts have proper anti-emetics to aid in the PONV

20 mins prior to wakeup
it takes 20 mins to peak effect

65
Q

propofol anti-emetic dosing

A

25-150 mcg/kg/min infusion

66
Q

common antiemetics

A

zofran
haloperidol
scopolamine
reglan
decadron

67
Q

zofran class

A

serotonin antagonist

68
Q

haloperidol class

A

dopamine antagonist

69
Q

reglan class

A

dopamine antagonist

70
Q

scopolamine class

A

Ach antagonist

71
Q

Oral suctioning process

A

deep: use yankeur to suction
use bend to advantage
gentle

can illicit coughing/bucking

72
Q

ETT suctioning indications

A

often used for severe colds and smokers

indicated if high pressures or presence of secretions

73
Q

ETT suctioning process

A

disconnect circuit advance catheter until slight resistance

occlude orifice and slowly retract suctioning

74
Q

Bite block

A

placed to prevent the pt from biting the tube and occluding the ETT

75
Q

biting on the tube could cause

A

negative pressure pulmonary edema

76
Q
