  • Back
Identify the origins of bleeding, lesions, or obstructions
Collect a specimen
Remove foreign bodies, mucus plugs or excessive secretions

*Make sure clients gag reflex has returned before feeding client
bronchoscopy
Uses ultrasound to visualize structures of the heart and evaluate left ventricular function
Echocardiogram
Requires the patient to swallow a transducer that produces images of the heart from the inside of the body

*Explain procedure to client
*If had a TEE- verify that gag reflex has returned before giving oral fluids
Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)-
Provides a graphic recording of the hearts electrical activity
Detects dysrhythmias and alterations in conduction indicative of myocardial damage, enlargement of the heart and drug effects
Electrocardiogram
inability to clear secretions or obstructions from the resp tract to maintain a clear airway
Ineffective Airway Clearance
Inspiration and or expiration that does not provide adequate ventilation
Ineffective Breathing Pattern
Excess or deficit in oxygenation and or carbon dioxide elimination at the alveolar capillary membrane
Impaired Gas Exchange
prescribed by the primary care provider- they determine concentration, method of delivery, depending on the method and liter flow per min
Oxygen Therapy
the nursing may indicate therapy without a primary care providers order
Emergency measure
a low flow oxygen system is essential
a Client w/ COPD
- Do not administer high levels of oxygen to clients w/ ??
chronic pulmonary disease

*Delivers 30-50 % of concentrated O2 at 4-8 L. per min
Face Tent
Used for infants

Provides precise oxygen levels and high humidity
Oxygen hood
Used for children

Delivers approx 30% oxygen
Oxygen Tent
Often prescribed for sleep apnea
Client wears a tight fitting nasal mask
An air compressor blows air into the back of the throat, preventing the airway from collapsing
Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP)
Improve pulmonary function
Counteract the effects of anesthesia
Loosen resp secretions
Facilitate resp gaseous exchange
Expand collapsed alveoli

Keep in upright position
incentive Spirometry
Monitors electrical activity of the heart for ambulatory clients

Assess and cleanse skin prior to placement
