Pulse oximetry

Bronchoscopy is particularly useful in pneumonia when aspiration of a foreign objet or food is suspected. A culture and sensitivity test is used to determine the causative bacteria and to specify which antibiotic would be the best to be used. Pulse oximetry is used to monitor oxygenation status. ii. GERD is diagnosed mostly from signs sand symptoms. The gold standard for diagnosing GERD is the 24-hour pH monitoring which records “the number, duration, and severity of reflux episodes…

Fluid Management in CRRT The volume of hourly ultrafiltrate removed depends on an hourly fluid balance calculation and assessment of patient’s hemodynamic and fluid status. Hourly fluid goal calculation is the non-CRRT intake, plus fluid loss ordered by the physician, minus non-CRRT output. The system infuses and removes fluid after the fluid balance is calculated, and the desired volumes are input into the system. The system monitors the volume of replacement fluid, dialysate, and the volume of…

The most common bacteria type that causes pneumonia is Streptococcus Pneumonia. How is it Diagnosed? Pneumonia is diagnosed while taking different kinds of tests. Some of these tests are: Physical exams, diagnostic tests, CT scans, Sputum tests, Pulse oximetry test, and a bronchoscopy. While a physical examination is being done, sounds of crackling and bubbling while you inhale are a sign of pneumonia. During the diagnostic tests, the physician may…

an incubator. Clinical condition 2: Respiratory Rate Baby has the following: 10 days old; 31 weeks GA; 32 3/7 weeks PMA; in an incubator on room air; on caffeine; gains 20 grams per day (Susan, 2013). Essential signs: 2-3 apneas a day; HR=136; pulse oximetry=99…

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS The symptoms of TAPVR usually show up soon after birth, but sometimes they start later. Symptoms can be mild or severe. Signs and symptoms include: • Abnormal heart sound (murmur). • Pounding heart. • Weak pulse. • Blue lips, skin, or fingers from a lack of oxygen…

within the nursing scope of practice. The nurse monitors the environment to ensure appropriate cleaning, and maintenance of adequate ventilation. The nurse is responsible for checking for hemostasis; considering distal circulation, and peripheral pulses. Verify voiding, and assess for abdominal distention before the patient is transferred to the recovery area. Remind the patient to keep the affected leg straight (Moser, & Riegel,…

I1. You walk into Anna’s room and on initial assessment you found Anna is restless. The patient care tech just finished doing the vital signs on Anna and handed over it to you; BP: 170/84 mm Hg Pulse: 122 beats/minute Respirations: 40/minute Pulse Oximetry: 96% on the BiPAP Oral Temperature: 98.6F (Her last ABG done 30 minutes before shows pH of 7.38, Pco2 of 40, Po2 of 110, and HCo3 of 24) Anna is found restless, pulling on to the mask trying to remove it and the patient care tech is…

tablet formulation where each tablet contains 2mg of tolterodine tartrate. Patient had the following symptoms: “blood pressure at 175/80 mmHg, pulse rate at 82 beats per minute, Glasgow Coma Scale score was 13/15 (E4V4M5), body temperature was 38.3 degrees Celsius (tympanic), respiratory rate was 10 breaths per minute and oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry was 96% while he was put on oxygen through a non-rebreathing mask, chest auscultation was clear, abdominal examination revealed hypoactive…

continually monitored and documented hourly at a minimum. Oxygen saturation measurement is required at all times using pulse oximetry. Unless arterial oxygen saturation level is less than 90% supplemental oxygen therapy is not required (Franczyk-Skóra et al. 2013). HR, BP and RR also need to be continually monitored. Since Mr. Peters has arrhythmia, HR needs to be checked by palpation of the pulse. RR should be cross checked with ECG and the patient’s counted rate (Barthel et al. 2012).…

Intraoperative monitoring: A consensus on standard monitoring requirements has not yet established in the literature. Routine monitoring includes electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, capnography, temperature and urine output monitoring. There are many authors who recommend invasive blood pressure monitoring by indwelling arterial catheter in all patients, irrespective of their age 18.Abrupt changes in cerebral blood flow due to changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) is possible during the…
