The Bourdon-gauge
Is a simple, clear, nonproprietary name. Not capitalized

Generic name
Three causes of shock
Pump failure: cardiogenic shock, obstructive shock
Poor vessel function: distributive shock
Low fluid volume: hypovlemic shock
Is the term used to describe the amount of gas in air or dissolved in fluid,such as blood. Measured in mm of mercury
Partial pressure
25 to 50 breaths/min
Infants
The metabolism that takes place in the absence of oxygen; the principal product is lactic acid
Anaerobic metabolism
0-1 cardiac irritability 0-4 brain damage not likely 4-6 brain damage possible 6-10 brain damage likely More than 10 minutes, irreversible brain damage
Critical time of being in cardiac arrest
A method of ventilation used primarily in the treatment of critically ill patients with respiratory distress; can prevent the need for endotracheal intubation
Patients may have wet lung sounds or heart failure that require this
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
The amount of air that is moved in or out of the lungs during one breath
Tidal volume
Mechanical obstruction of the cardiac muscle causing a decrease in cardiac output
Obstructive shock
The late stage, when blood pressure is falling is called _______
Symptoms: falling blood pressure, labored or irregular breathing, ashen/mottled/or cyanotic skin
Decompensated shock
Liquid medication is aerosolized and is administered into a nostril.
Examples, flu vaccine, Narcan (opioid OD)
Mucosal automizer device (MAD)
The passive part of the breathing process in which the diaphragm and the intercostal muscle relax, forcing air out of the lungs
Exhalation
Damaged cervical spine, which causes widespread blood vessel dilation
Neurogenic shock
Compressed under high pressure. Often contain other materials that are mixed with medication
Tablets
Nasal cannula delivers _____ to _____ oxygen
22% to 44%
As the volume of blood coming to the heart increases, the precontraction pressure in the heart builds up. This precontraction pressure is known as ________. As this increases, the volume of blood within the ventricles increases, which causes the heart muscle to stretch.
Preload
Intravenous means into the vein
IV
How to convert pounds into kl
Divide pounds by 2.2
Inadequate heart function, disease of muscle tissue, impaired electrical system, disease or injury

Venturi mask is a medium-flow device that delivers _____ to _____ oxygen
24% to 40%
Don’t administer nitro (chest pain medication) if the patients BP is less than _______
100
Extreme life-threatening allergic reaction
