Question: What is the purpose of suctioning during an artificial ?Answer: To secretions. Promote expectoration of secretions(cough) Collect a specimen. Question: What is the suctioning procedure an artificial airway? Answer: oxygenate the pt. 100% before and after suctioning for 1-3 m inutes. It should be sterile. Suction no longer than 15 second. Stop suctioning if any of distress are present. Question: What are hazards of suctioning during an artificial ? Answer: Bleeding/trauma to the mucosa so be gentle and use lubricant. Cardiac changes can occur due to vagal reflex(bradycardia) and from vagal nerve stimulation. Tachycardia due to hypoxemia. Use sterile technique. Question: What should be done when a secretion situation occurs during an artificial airway?Answer: Increase the diameter of the catheter (higher french) but stay w/limits-no more than 1/2 the diameter of artificial airway. Increase suction pressure. Instill 5-10cc saline to hydrate secretions. Instill Mucomyst.Lower suction-prn& duration. Question: What is a pharyngeal airway in artificial airway?Answer: called as nasal trumphet. Helps in suctioning &remal of .Opens airway for better ventilation. Not good for mech. ventilation.Used on consious pt. Less mucosal trauma. Use largest diameter possible to decrese RAW. Change often to prevent bleeding Question: What is a oral airway in an artificial airway? Answer: Used as a bite-block w/o ET tube in place. Insterted 180 degrees off then twisted inplace. Used on comatose/unconsious pt. Neer this airway to anything - no tape. Question: What are the considerations Tracheostomy in an artificial airway? Answer: Its used for long-term airway needed. Reduces RAW. Helpfulin difficult weaning situations. Indicated when an oral/nasal is not possible. Can be cleaned by sterile water/hydrogenperoxide. Improves pt. life-style.

Evalutation Question: What is Postural drainage in a during airway clearance?Answer: removal of secretions through gravity. Involves lowering the head down so that secretions drain downward towaed the upper airway and mouth, where they can be expectorated. Helpful in cystic fibrosis, bronchiectais and COPD .

Answer: 1.flat(supine/prone)-head down 0 degrees2.fowlers/reverse trendelenburg :45-90 degrees 3.Trendelenburg (head down 15 degrees)4.Trendelenburg(head down 30 degrees)trendelenburg is for pt. w/incrased intracranial pressure(head trauma etc.) Question: What is the position during airway clearance?Answer: 1. Lying flat on back (looking @ the ceiling) 2. drains upper lobes, anterior . 3. Good for post neuro-surgical patients. Question: What position during airway clearance? Answer: Lying flat - face down. Drains lower lobes, posterior segments-superior segments. Question: What is the Trendelenburg @ 15 degree head down airway clearance? Answer: Manage hypotension (support blood in the brain). Contraindicated for head trauma/ brain surgery. Drain lingular, lateral and medial segments.

Finally, patient breathes at high lung (VT and IRV). Question: What is the Positive Expiratoury pressure (PEP) therapy airway clearance? Answer: 1. Mask allows easy inhalation. 2. Restricts exhalation-causing expiratory airway pressure to exist. 3.Use 3-4 times per day. 4.Expiratory pressure from 10-20 cmH20. 5. Avoid during epitaxis,middle ear infection&sinus . Question: What is the valve in airway clearance? Answer: 1. It is easy inhalation. 2. It is restricted exhalation. 3. Fluttering ball causes exhalation to oscillate expiratory flow rate, stimulating a succession of small cough. Question: What is the External device in airway clearance?Answer: 1. Also called High-frequency chest wall devive. 2. Eg. Device is VEST. Question: What is percussion ventilation (IPV) during airway clearance? Answer: 1. Done by delieviring inhalation w/oscillation.2. Causes vibration of the lungs. 3.Helps gases penetrate deeper levels of the pulmonary airway system.4.can be combined w/aerosol delivery.5. Good Frequency is 30 PSI. Question: What is a cough during airway clearance?Answer: 1.Good Cough-deep inhalation&forceful exhalation 2.Multiple cough-closure of glottis & single exhalation done sitting 3.Splingting-support incision 4.Huff cough-w/o closure of 5. Serial cough-cough w/low vol.then increase w/inhalation&exhalation. Question: After every therapy how do you evaluate the to any airway clearance therapy ?Answer: 1. Visual inspection-chest excursion. 2. Better vital signs-BP,HR & RR. 3. Auscultaton-Improvement of breath sounds. 4.Cough-Forcefulness and production. 5.
