Non rebreather appropriate use?
Delivery system of choice for patients with signs of hypoxia those short of breath or those suffering severe injuries or displaying an altered me natal
Nasal cannula appropriate use
Appropriate for patients who cannot tolerate mask
Partial rebreather mask appropriate use?
Usually not used in Ems some patients may use at home CO levels up
Respirator failure is ?
inadequate breathing often to fast, or to slow. Sometimes irregular or slowing inadequate minute volume
Respirator Distress is?
Adequate breathing Typically elevated rate of breathing: not excessively fast though adequate minute volume
Signs or sounds of respiratory distress
Wheezing, stridor, coughing
What type of mental status would you have for respiratory failure
Altered mental status
what type of mental status would you have for respiratory distress?
Normal, sometimes agitated or anxious
Broncho-constriction
The contraction of smooth muscle that lines the bronchial passage that results in a decreased internal diameter of the airway and increased resistance to airflow. (common diseases like asthma)
Stridor
a high pitched sound generated from partially obstructed air flow in the upper airway
Alveoli
where Oxygen and carbon dioxide are diffused
A common obstruction in a person with a decreased mental status is ?
The tongue (epiglottises connected to the tongue)
When do you use the Head tilt, chin lift maneuver
Used when no trauma or injury is suspected
When do you use the Jaw thrust maneuver?
Used when trauma, or injury is suspected to open the airway without causing further injury to the spinal cord in the neck. (remember that any conscious, and many conscious, trauma patients should be suspected of having an injury to the head or spine)
Oropharyngeal airway
a curved device inserted through the patients mouth into the pharynx DO NOT USe with someone that has gag reflex( have suction ready prior to inserting any airway)
nasopharungeal airway
a flexible breathing tube inserted thorough the patients nose THE RIGHT NOSE FIRST before going to the left nose
How do you measure a oropharyngeal airway?
Measure the device from the corner of the patients mouth to the tip of the earlobe
How do you measure a nasopharyngeal airway?
Measure the device from the patients nostril to teh tip of the earlobe or to the angle of the jaw
How long do you limit suctioning to
10 seconds
What is the Min pressure for Oxygen bottle
200
chemoreceptors
Detect carbon dioxide- chemical sensors in the brain and blood vessels that identify changing levels on oxygen and carbon dioxide.
pulmonary respiration
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulating bloode in the pulmonary capillaries.
If patient starts to have good vital signs after cpr what position do you place them in
recovery (if no cspine)
what is the longest someone should do compressions?
2 min
how long should you give cpr for on scene
15 min
What is normal oxygen levels in the air?
21 percent
where do you check for pulse on P (infant)
brachial (upper arm)
where do you check for pulse on adults
carotid (throat)
where do you check pulse on toddler (child) and what age does toddler start
carotid and 1 year
What postion should you have an oxygen bottle when NOT secured
on its side
Hypoxia
an insufficiency of oxygen in the bodys tissues
Is inhalation a active or passive process?
active
Is exhalation a active or passive process
passive
Tidal volume
the amount of air moved in one breath normal is 5-7ml kg per body weight
what is compression depth on adult
2 inch
what is compresion depth on child
1/3 to 1/2 depth of checst (2 inches)
