3 Goals of Oxygen Therapy

(define oxygen therapy)

 

Definition

1. Decrease the work of the heart

2. Decrease the work of breathing

3. Treat Hypoxemia

(Anything above 21% oxygen is defined as Oxygen therapy)

Term
General Goals and clinical objectives to oxygen therapy (3)
Definition

1. Correct documented or suspected acute hypoxemia.

2.Decrease the symptoms associated with chronic hypoxemia.

3. Decrease the workload hypoxemia imposes on the cardiopulmonary system.

Term

What is hypoxemia?

What is hypoxia?

Definition

Hypoxemia: low oxygen in the blood

Hypoxia: low oxygen in the body tissues

Term
describe the process to assessing the need for oxygen therapy (3)
Definition

1. Lab documentation (PaO2, SaO2, SpO2)

2. Specific clinical probelm (Patient has carbon monoxide posioning)

3. Clinical findings at the bedside (tachypnea, tachycardia, confusion, etc.)

Term

What is tachypnea?

What is tachycardia?

Definition

tachypnea- fast breathing

tachycardia- fast heartbeat

Term
Precautions and hazards of supplemental O2: Oxygen Toxicity (3) What does it effect? What are the determining factors? What does high exposure to FIO2 cause?
Definition

It primarily effects the lungs and the central nervous system.

Determining factors including PO2 and exposure time.

Prolonged exposure to high FIO2 can cause lung infiltrates in the lung parenchyma.

Term
Average Saturated hemoglobin
Definition
97% to 100%
Term
When drawing blood, draw from...?
Definition
artery
Term
Precautions and Hazards of supplemental O2: Depression of ventilation (where does it occur?)
Definition
in the COPD patients with hypercapnia
Term
Precautions and Hazards of supplemental O2: Retinopathy of prematurity. What do excessive blood O2 levels cause?
Definition
excessive blood O2 levels cause retinal vasoconstriction and necrosis.
Term
Precautions and Hazards of supplemental O2: Fire Hazard. Where do fires continue to occur? Where and who needs to be more careful?
Definition
Fires continue to occure in O2 enriched enviroments. Practitioners in surgery suites and in the presence of hyperbaric O2 therapy need to be most careful.
Term
What is a Low Flow?
Definition

Oxygen delivery device that is not

capable of providing all the patients inspiratory flow needs. Example: Nasal Cannla

Term
What is high flow? What can it ensure? What do you use?
Definition
Supply a given O2 concentration at a flow equaling or exceeding the patients peak inspiratory flow. It can ensure a fixed FIO2. Use air-entrainment or blending system. Example: Air entainment masks
Term
What is the anatomic reservoir? What does it consist of? Nickname?
Definition
The anatomic reservoir is 50 cc. 1/3 of the anatomic deadspace. It consists of the nose, nasopharynx and oropharynx. It is nicknamed "The Mixer"
Term
Low Flow Criteria: What are low flow oxygen systems affected by? What is your decision to use a low flow system based upon?
Definition
Low flow oxygen systems are affected by the patients ventilatory patter, Vt (title volume), RR (respiratory rate) and the LPM from the flowmeter. Decision to use low flow based upon clinical assessment of your patient
Term
Established criteria indicated a low flow system may be used if your patient meets the following guidelines (3):
Definition

Vt (title volume) between 300-700

RR (respiratory rate) is less than 25 breaths per minute

Ventilatory pattern is regular and consistent

Term
Nasal Cannula: Delivers an FI02 of? Used with flow rates of? What does FIO2 depend on? How much is tolerated? What has research shown?
Definition

Delivers an FIO2 of 1.24 to 0.54

Used with flow rates of 1 to 8 L/min

FIO2 depends on how much room air the patient inhales in addition to the O2.

Device is usually well tolerated up to 6-8 LPM

Research has shown that they can be used up to 15 LPM but only tolerated up to 8.

Term
Nasal Catheter: What flows is it used at? Delivers an FIO2 of? Where is it rarely used? What has replaced it? Where should it be placeD?
Definition

Used at flows of 1/4 to 8 L/min

Delivers an FIO2 of 0.22 to 0.45

Rarely used in modern health care facilities today.

Has been replaced by the nasal cannula

Placement of nasal catheter in the nasopharynx.

Term

What is FIO2?

Oxygen FI02?

Definition

Fraction of inspired oxygen.

Oxygen= 21% air

FIO2= .21

Term

Types of patients on nasal cannulas (3)

1. what kind of patients? what is it there for? what may it be due to?

2. what kind of patients? why might they need nasal cannulas? what is there a need for?

3. what kind of patients? what criteria do they meet?

 

Definition

1. patients with chest pain, no hypoxemia: there to decrease the work of the heart/patient may have high respiratory rate and not meet low flow criteria, however it may be due to pain and anxiety.

2. Patients with dyspnea (shortness of breath) who may not meet low flow criteria due to high respiratory rate but who may not tolerate a mask. Need to evaluate for highflow.

3. Patients with hypoxemia who meet low flow criteria.

Term

What are bubblers? (bubbler humidifiers)

What must you check? What reasons will it not work?(2) why might it be whistling?(1)

Definition

They are used for nasal cannulas at 4LMP or higher if patient requests.

Check popoff: reasons popoff will not work: leak or faulty

popoff is whistling : obstruction

Term

Oxygen Therapy: reservoir cannula

What is it designed for? types of reservoirs? how much can it reduce oxygen? What is usually not needed?

Definition

Reservoir cannulas are designed to conserve oxygen. there are nasal reservoirs and pendant resevoirs.

can reduce oxygen use as much as 50% to 75% and humidification is usually not needed

Term

Oxygen Therapy: reservoir cannula

How much O2 does it store? does the patient recieve more or less O2 with each breath? What does that mean?

Definition
reservoir cannulas store about 20 mL of O2 that the patient inhales during the early part of inspiration. Each patient recieves more O2 with each breath, thus lower flow will be perscribed which conserves O2.
Term
Pendant shaped inflatable Reservoir cannula does what when a person exhales? What needs to happen for this device to work?
