Question
Answer
What is a SPAG   nebulizer designed to admin Ribavirn  
🗑
What nebulizer should RTT where mask gloves gown and goggles when delivering meds with   SPAG  
🗑
What is a USN   ultrasonic nebulizer  
🗑
What is the particle size of a USN   fine  
🗑
How does USN work   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   USN  
🗑
How does RTT control the volume on a USN   amplitude, can go as high as 6 l/m (2x higher than other nebs)  
🗑
Hazards of USN   over hydration, bronchospasm, sudden mobilization of secretions, electrical shock, water in tube from condensation, nosocomial infections, drug dosing changes caused by reconcentrations in nebulizer as treatment continues  
🗑
Why must RTT be concerned about condensation in the tubing during neb treatment   accidental pt lavage, water in tube caused decreased flow and increased FIO2  
🗑
What kind of mask is most often used with a SPAG   tent or hood  
🗑
You are delivering humidity to pt at 30 percent but when you analyze it, it reads 60 percent, what is the problem   condensation in the tube increases FIO2  
🗑
What is a Passover humidifier   non heated low humidity appox 25 percent body humidity  
🗑
What is a bubble humidifier   the most common non heated humidifier, body humidity of 35 to 40 percent, usually for nasal canulla  
🗑
What is a diffuser humidifier   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   heated humidifier most often used with vent pt, water passes over a grid, capable of deliver 100 percent humidity at high flows  
🗑
What is a wick or concha humidifier   heated humidifier, water passes over wick made of paper, cloth or sponge, produces humidity close to 100 percent, best for artificial airway for pt on vent  
🗑
What is an HME   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   every 24 hours  
🗑
Therapeutic range for aerosol meds is   .5 to 3 microns  
🗑
What is an HHN   hand held nebulizer aka SVN  
🗑
What is the volume of an SVN   less than 30 ml  
🗑
What is the particle size of an SVN   1.5 to 7 microns  
🗑
Respigard II SVN is used for what   tamadine or pentamidine medication for treating C Pneumonia in AIDS pts  
🗑
AeroEclipse is what   breath actuated nebulizer used in many hospitals today, saves meds and gives shorter treatment  
🗑
MDI’s are more effective with what   spacer and good pt education  
🗑
DPI is what   dry powder inhaler  
🗑
What is the downside of DPI   pt must have a strong enough inspiratory flow to get meds  
🗑
What is the upside to DPI’s   do not take the same pt coordination as MDI  
🗑
What is the purpose of large volume nebs   provide continuous aerosol therapy, refill every 4 to 8 hours depending on flow and heat  
🗑
Allegiance health LVN   air entrainment prefilled neb for cool or heat 21 to 100 percent  
🗑
Misty ox hi-fi neb   air entrainment 60-90 percent on flows of 42 to 77 L/M  
🗑
Misty ox gas injection neb or GIN   21 to 100 percent at rates over 100 L/M not an air entrainment device, used with CPAP, requires 2 gas sources if greater that 75percent  
🗑
Heart neb   used if giving continuous aerosolized meds like albuterol for status asthmaticus, 240 ml reservoir  
🗑
What is humidity   water in a gaseous states  
🗑
What are the advantages of MDI   convenient, inexpensive, portable, no drug prep, hard to contaminate  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of MDI   pt coordination and activation, increased pharyngeal deposits, abuse, no high doses, not all meds available, CFC’s  
🗑
What are the advantages of SVN   less pt coordination, high doses, even and continuous, no CFC  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of svn’s   expensive, wasteful, drug prep, contamination, not all drugs available press source required, long treatment time  
🗑
Hazards of aerosols are   wheezing and bronchospasm esp with copd, broncoconstriction with artificial airway, infection, overhydration, pt discomfort, rtt exposure, edema  
🗑
Contraindications of aerosol are   Bronchoconstriction, history of airway hyperresponsive  
🗑
Indications of aerosol are   upper airway edema (cool), LTB, subglottic edema, post extubation edema, post op mgmt of upper airway, sputum specimen or mobilize secretions  
🗑
Body humidity is   44 mg/L always, regardless of body temp or outside temp  
🗑
Actual humidity   RH x capacity  
🗑
Aerosol is what   liquid particles suspended in gas  
🗑
Bland aerosol therapy is what   sterile hypo, hyper or normal saline in aerosol  
🗑
What is the primary purpose of humidity therapy   humidify dry medical gases to overcome humidity deficit when upper airway is bypassed  
🗑
What is the secondary purpose of humidity therapy   heated to manage hypothermia or treat bronchospasm from cold air  
🗑
How do you tell if a non heated humidifier has a leak   all have pop off at 2 psi, kink the hose if pop off does NOT sound, you have a leak  
🗑
Where do you monitor temp of humidity   insp side at wye  
🗑
Passover humidifiers are   wick-air flows over wick, membrane-gas passes through hydrophobic membrane, USN-prezo electronic crystal  
🗑
Contraindications of HME   thick copious secretions, less than 70 VT, less than 32 body temp, great than 10 min vent  
🗑
Hazards of HME   under hydration, mucus plugging, increased WOB, hypoventilation from increased dead space, ineffective pop off, hypothermia  
🗑
Contraindications for heated humidifiers   there are none  
🗑
Hazards of heated humidifiers   high flow at disconnect will spray contaminated condensation, under hydration, mucus plugging, inc WOB, wrong FIO2 from condensation in tubing, hypothermia, burns, lavage  
🗑
Relative humidity is   actual humidity divided by capacity  
🗑
Indications for humidity are   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?   Ultrasonic nebulizers  
🗑
