1.Acceptable range(80-100 torr). 2.It determines the adequacy of Oxygenation. 3.If PaO2 <80 torr, then pt. is not oxygenatiing. 4.If PaO2 >100 torr,then pt. is over-oxygenating n as w/all other drugs,O2 should be decreased.5.best indicator of o2transport
Hb (Hemoglobin)
1. Acceptable range(22-26). 2.Carries O2. 3.If Hb low then pt. is hypoxic regardless of PaO2 value and SaO2. 4. Hemorrhaging refers to the loss of blood and indicates supplement blood administration.
PaCO2
1.Acceptable range (35-45). 2.Determines if ventilations is adequate. 3.If PaCO2 >45 mmHg,then the pt. is not ventilating. 4.If pt. not on vent. and PaCO2 <35 torr, then it is not a serious problem.
HCO3-
1.Acceptable range(22-26mEq/L). 2.Determines chronic vs. acute acidosis vs. alkalosis. 3.A low HCO3- is clear indicator for sodium bicarbonate indicator.
Methods of supporting Ventilations
1. Mechanical Ventilations. 2. Manual resuscitation (bag). 3. Mouth to mouth resuscitation. 4. IPPB. 5.BIPAP. 6. Pressure support ventilation (PSV).
pH
1.Acceptable range(7.35-7.45). 2.Imp. to diagnose diabetics and indicates the need of sodium bicarbonate administration. 3. Interprets blood gases.
PO2
1.Acceptable range(80-100 torr). 2.It determines the adequacy of Oxygenation. 3.If PaO2 <80 torr, then pt. is not oxygenatiing. 4.If PaO2 >100 torr,then pt. is over-oxygenating n as w/all other drugs,O2 should be decreased.5.best indicator of o2transport
