Cards

Term
Nasal Canula
Definition
24 - 44 FI02/ 1 - 6 L/min --> provide humidification for flow rates of 4L/min and up
Term
Simple Face Mask
Definition
Fi02 40-60%/ 5-8L/min

flow rates 5L/min or lower can result in rebreathing C02
Term
Partial Rebreather
Definition
60 - 75% Fi02
mask has reservoir bag attach w/no valve, which allows the PT to rebreathe up to 1/3 of exhaled air together w/room air
-->complete deflation during Inspiration = CO2 buildup
Term
Non Rebreather Mask
Definition
80 - 95% Fi02/ 10 - 15 L/min to keep the bag 2/3 full during I & E
Highest 02 conc possible (except intebation)
one - way valve btw mask and reservoir allow pt max 02
-2 exhalation ports have flaps covering them that prevent room air from entering
Term
Venturi Mask
Definition
Fi02 24 - 55%/ 2 - 10 L/min via dif size adapters
*Delivers most precise ox concentration
*Humid not required
*Best for pts w/chronic lung disease
Term
Oxygen Toxicity
Definition
May result from high concentrations of ox (typically above 50%), long durations of oxygen therapy (typically more than 24 - 48 hours) and severity of pt's lung disease
Term
How do you test for TB?
Definition
3 consecutive morning samples (days)
Term
Never do IV bolus for
Definition
potassium chloride
Term
When you should hold gastric feeding?
Definition
Stomach contents over 100mL

10mL for intestines
Term
To prevent cramping for enteral feeding?
Definition
room temp
Term
Enteral tubes: less than 4 weeks
Definition
NG tubes
Term
Eye drop technique?
Definition
Surgical asepsis technique
Term
Aspiration of formula
Definition
-w/hold feeding
-turn to side
-suction airway
-provide OX if needed
-auscultate breath sounds, monitor vitals for increase temp
-Notify provider
-obtain chest x-ray
Term
PH scale
Definition
less than 7 = acidic
greater than 7 = basic
Term
What does a spacer do it?
Definition
It keeps med in device longer, thereby increases amt of med delivered to meds and decreases med in oral pharynx
Term
Meds given through NG and GI tubes?
Definition
liquids
Term
Fluids are distributed between?
Definition
Intracellular and Extracellular compartments
Term
Fluid Volume Defecits
Definition
hypovolemia-isotonic (loss of water + electrolytes from ECF)

Dehydration-osmolar (loss of water with no loss of electrolytes)
Term
Hemoconcentration occurs with?
Definition
dehydration - resulting in increases in Hct, serum electrolytes, and urine specific gravity
Term
Causes of hypovolemia
Definition
vomiting, NG suctioning, diarrhea, diaphoresis, diabetes insipidus, renal disease, adrenal insufficiency, hemorrhage, NPO
Term
Causes of Dehydration
Definition
Hyperventilation, diabetic ketoacidosis, enteral feeding w/out sufficient water intake
Term
Hypovolemia/Dehydration vitals:
Definition
hyperthermia, tachycardia, thready pulse, hypotension, orthostatic hypotension, decreased central venous pressure, tachypnea, hypoxia
Term
Hct Hypovolemia
Definition
increases
Term
Hct Dehydration
Definition
increased but not present when dehydration is caused by hemorrhage
Term
Fluid Volume Excess
Definition
hypervolemia-isotonic (water and sodium retained in abnormally high proportions) and overhydration-osmolar (more water gained than electrolytes)
Term
Severe hypervolemia can lead to?
Definition
pulmonary edema and HF
Term
What occurs with overhydration?
Definition
hemodilution
Term
Hemodilution results in..
Definition
decreases in Hct, serum electrolytes, and protein
Term
Causes: Hypervolemia
Definition
chronic stim to kids to conserve water and sodium (HF, cirrhosis)
Renal failure
Inerstitial to plasma fluid shifts (hypertonic fluids, burns)
Age-related changes in cardiovascular and renal function
Excessive sodium intake
Term
Overhydration/Hypervolemia Vitals
Definition
tachycardia, bounding pulse, hypertension, tachypnea, increase ventral venous pressure
Term
Overhydration/Hypervolemia: Neuromusculoskeletal
Definition
confusion, muscle weakness
Term
Hypervolemia/Overhydration Hct
Definition
decreases
Term
Overhydration/hypervolemia - electrolytes, BUN, and creatinine
Definition
decreases
Term
What is the major electrolyte found in ECF?
Definition
sodium
Term
Sodium essential for?
Definition
acid-base balance, active + passive transport mechanisms, and irrability and conduction of nerve and muscle tissue
Term
Hyponatremia
Definition
serum sodium level LESS than 136 mEq/L
Term
Hyponatremia is:
Definition
net gain of water or loss of sodium-rich fluids
Term
Side effects: hyponatremia
Definition
water moves from ECF to ICF - causes cells to swell

-delays and slows depolarization of membranes
Term
Hyponatremia Vitals
Definition
hypothermia, tachycardia, rapid thready pulse, hypotension, ortho hypo
Term
Hypernatremia
Definition
serum sodium level greater than 145
Term
Hypernatremia vitals
Definition
hyperthermia, tachycardia, ortho hypo
Term
Hypernatremia neuromusculoskeletal
Definition
restlessness, irrability, muscle twitching, muscle weakness, seizures, coma, reduced to absent DTRs
Term
Serum potassium levels
Definition
3.5 - 5 mEq/L
