|
Approximate pressure of a full oxygen tank.
|
2000 psi.
|
|
|
At least, how much pressure does a tank need to be above the "Safe Residual Pressure"?
|
200 psi
|
|
|
Normal oxygen flow rates for Nonrebreather Mask, Nasal Cannula, Pocket Mask and Bag-Valve-Mask.
|
NONREBREATHER MASK - 15 lpm
NASAL CANNULA - 6 lpm POCKET MASK - 15 lpm BAG-VALVE-MASK - 15 lpm *(lpm = liters per minute) |
|
|
Situation in which an EMT-Basic would use a Nasal Cannula instead of a Nonrebreather Mask.
|
Only use a Nasal Cannula if the patient will not tolerate a Nonrebreather Mask.
Note - The Nasal Cannula will not provide as high a concentration of oxygen as the Nonrebreather Mask. |
|
|
Type of Airway well tolerated by semi-conscious patients.
|
Nasopharyngeal Airway
|
|
|
Technique for determining a correct size Oral Airway.
|
Measure from the corner of the patient's mouth to the tip of the earlobe, or the the bottom of the angle of the jaw.
|
|
|
Technique for determining a correct size Nasal Airway.
|
Measure from the tip of the patient's nose to the tip of the earlobe.
|
|
|
Maximum length of time a patient should be suctioned at one time.
|
ADULTS - Suction for no more than 15 seconds at a time.
INFANTS AND CHILDREN - Suction for shorter periods(approximately 5 seconds at a time) |
|
|
Age criteria for using a Flow Restricted, Oxygen-Powered Ventilation Device.
|
USE ON ADULTS ONLY!!!
Do not use on infants or children. This device delivers oxygen at a high pressure and high flow rates, it can damage an infant or child's lungs, and/or cause air to enter the stomach. |
