Question
Answer
What is a SPAG   show
🗑
show SPAG  
🗑
show ultrasonic nebulizer  
🗑
show fine  
🗑
show radio frequency generator produces high frequency vibrations across piezoelectric transducer or crystal, breaks up meds, frequency determines particles size, amplitude determines volume  
🗑
Best nebulizer of choice for pt with thick retained secretions   show
🗑
How does RTT control the volume on a USN   show
🗑
Hazards of USN   show
🗑
Why must RTT be concerned about condensation in the tubing during neb treatment   show
🗑
show tent or hood  
🗑
show condensation in the tube increases FIO2  
🗑
show non heated low humidity appox 25 percent body humidity  
🗑
What is a bubble humidifier   show
🗑
show high output aerosol neb often used with CPAP, heated, uses evaporation to produce high humidity at high flow (misty ox)  
🗑
What is the cascade humidifier   show
🗑
What is a wick or concha humidifier   show
🗑
show heat moisture exchange, device placed between pt and wye on vent circuit, body humidity is collected and then used to humidify next insp, ideally 70-90 humidity is produced  
🗑
How often do we change out the humidifier circuit to prevent pseudomonas   show
🗑
Therapeutic range for aerosol meds is   show
🗑
What is an HHN   show
🗑
What is the volume of an SVN   show
🗑
show 1.5 to 7 microns  
🗑
show tamadine or pentamidine medication for treating C Pneumonia in AIDS pts  
🗑
show breath actuated nebulizer used in many hospitals today, saves meds and gives shorter treatment  
🗑
show spacer and good pt education  
🗑
DPI is what   show
🗑
What is the downside of DPI   show
🗑
What is the upside to DPI’s   show
🗑
What is the purpose of large volume nebs   show
🗑
Allegiance health LVN   show
🗑
show air entrainment 60-90 percent on flows of 42 to 77 L/M  
🗑
Misty ox gas injection neb or GIN   show
🗑
show used if giving continuous aerosolized meds like albuterol for status asthmaticus, 240 ml reservoir  
🗑
show water in a gaseous states  
🗑
show convenient, inexpensive, portable, no drug prep, hard to contaminate  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of MDI   show
🗑
show less pt coordination, high doses, even and continuous, no CFC  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of svn’s   show
🗑
show wheezing and bronchospasm esp with copd, broncoconstriction with artificial airway, infection, overhydration, pt discomfort, rtt exposure, edema  
🗑
Contraindications of aerosol are   show
🗑
show upper airway edema (cool), LTB, subglottic edema, post extubation edema, post op mgmt of upper airway, sputum specimen or mobilize secretions  
🗑
show 44 mg/L always, regardless of body temp or outside temp  
🗑
Actual humidity   show
🗑
show liquid particles suspended in gas  
🗑
show sterile hypo, hyper or normal saline in aerosol  
🗑
What is the primary purpose of humidity therapy   show
🗑
What is the secondary purpose of humidity therapy   show
🗑
How do you tell if a non heated humidifier has a leak   show
🗑
Where do you monitor temp of humidity   show
🗑
show wick-air flows over wick, membrane-gas passes through hydrophobic membrane, USN-prezo electronic crystal  
🗑
Contraindications of HME   show
🗑
show under hydration, mucus plugging, increased WOB, hypoventilation from increased dead space, ineffective pop off, hypothermia  
🗑
Contraindications for heated humidifiers   show
🗑
Hazards of heated humidifiers   show
🗑
Relative humidity is   show
🗑
show all vent patients with endotrach or tracheostomy, primary – pt receiving dry gas, upper airway bypassed, secondary – mgmt of hypothermia and bronchospasm from cold air  
🗑
Which nebulizer administers particles with sizes 0.5-3.0 microns and allows for the greatest deposition of aerosol?   show
🗑
