Question
Answer
show Sedated... In a severe amount of pain. Changed LOC. Respirator and Cardiac status are compromised  
🗑
Although we have technology   show
🗑
Be prepared-What can potentially go wrong   show
🗑
With a higher acuity patient   show
🗑
If an alarm goes off or a number looks abnormal   show
🗑
show Oxygen therapy Reposition - move up in bed if slumped Cough/deep breath suction Medications- look at standing orders or current orders  
🗑
show Smoking-how long? Smokers tend to do much worse d/t damage to lungs and mucosa, don't have as good responses, especially older smokers Young smokers in traumas harder to manage  
🗑
Cardiopulmonary history   show
🗑
show Listen for crackles, assess urine output,  
🗑
Sleep/Rest history   show
🗑
show At rest or upon exertion? Postop pts can have dyspnea upon exertion-are they tolerating it? Sats still ok?  
🗑
Chest pain assessment   show
🗑
show listen to cough, productive?, thick?, wheezy sounding? how does sputum look  
🗑
show More hoarse, dry sounding with distress  
🗑
show Overwhelming tiredness even when person is resting Could be another issue  
🗑
show Disease processes (past and current) Flu season? Immunizations current? Environmental exposures/Behaviors (past and current) Medical/surgical hospitalizations  
🗑
cardinal s/sx of respiratory distress   show
🗑
show Dyspnea, wheezing, cough, sputum, palpitations, swollen feet Don't rely on monitor-s/sx can be masked ie., tachycardia masked by beta blockers Fatigue Chest pain Anxiety-anxiety is big Dizziness Bradycardia  
🗑
Key Factors that cause hypoxia or impede pts breathing   show
🗑
Observing the chest   show
🗑
show Pursed lip breathing Pallor, clammy, cool skin ↓ cap refill Clubbing-long-term sign Barrel chest Respiratory rate (12-20) However, all pts are different  
🗑
A pt with COPD expiratory time?   show
🗑
show Respirations gradually increase in depth, then become more shallow, followed by a period of apnea.  
🗑
show Highly irregular breathing pattern with abrupt pauses between efforts  
🗑
show Respiration faster and deeper without pauses  
🗑
show Respirations prolonged, gasping, followed by extremely short, inefficient expiration  
🗑
Factors that alter a good wave form on a monitor   show
🗑
Respiratory Assessment   show
🗑
show bronchial bronchovesicular Vesicular  
🗑
bronchial   show
🗑
show bronchovesicular  
🗑
Vesicular   show
🗑
Adventitious breath sounds include:   show
🗑
show Fluid or mucous moving through the smaller airways Crackles can't be cleared with coughing, need loop diuretics, ↓ fluids  
🗑
show High-pitched musical sounds  
🗑
Rhonchi   show
🗑
Pleural friction rub   show
🗑
Stridor   show
🗑
show Look at the pulse ox, what is the pt restlessness and agitated for, it there something else going on? Could it be a pain situation?  
🗑
Decreased LOC   show
🗑
show Reposition. Did it help?  
🗑
show Usually a late sign - can happen quickly sometimes  
🗑
Accessory muscles   show
🗑
Dyspnea or orthopnea   show
🗑
show Changes from assessment to the next things are moving around Be prepared for issues that might arise  
🗑
Onset of S/S distress Early s/sx   show
🗑
Onset of S/S distress Late s/sx   show
🗑
show early or late  
🗑
SV02   show
🗑
show At what rate is the body using oxygen, is the body demanding more oxygen to perfuse the tissues than what we're giving them? Manytimes used with pts w/ resp and cardiac problems  
🗑
Don't start ? before Sputum tests   show
🗑
Pulmonary angiograms   show
🗑
ETCO2 monitoring (end tidal)   show
🗑
V/Q scans   show
🗑
Balance and Imbalance in Ventilation Perfusion (VQ)   show
🗑
Alterations in Ventilation:   show
🗑
Alterations in Perfusion:   show
🗑
show Relationship between_the alveoli to _the flow of blood of the lungs__ -ventilation to flow of blood  
🗑
Emphysema and COPD   show
🗑
show V/Q is greatest in __base of the lungs because that where the majority of our gas exchange takes place  
🗑
Possible VQ States   show
🗑
show Amount of inhaled and exhaled air in mL, normally 6 - 10 mL/kg  
🗑
show Measured with incentive spirometer  
🗑
show Endo-tracheal - about 4 cm above the carina  
🗑
show Bilateral breath sounds O2 sats come up nicely End-tidal CO2 within normal limits Then, look at chest x-ray for final confirmation Note and chart ET tube depth measurement at lips  
🗑
Improper Placement   show
🗑
show Assess pt-need more O2? Bag, non-rebreather? Call for physican  
🗑
show Need in room! Need bag and valve! Need O2 wall or cylinder.  
🗑
MECHANICAL Ventilation Indications:   show
🗑
show Decreases system & MVO2 requirements Helps L ventricle, decreases O2 requirements of the L ventricle Permit sedation Reduce ICP Hyperventilation reduces ICP Prevent atelectasis Secure airway Too much sedation causes respiratory depression  
🗑
Goals of MV   show
🗑
