Cards

Term
Nasal cannula (prongs)
Definition

-1-6 liters(24-44% total oxygen)for adult
- can eat and talk
- dries mucous membranes ( can humidify)

 

Nasal Cannula: FiO2 24-44% at 1-6 L/min; client is able to eat, talk and ambulate, watch for skin breakdown and dry mucous membranes and easy dislodging; use water soluble gel to prevent dry nares and provide humidification for flow rates above 4 L/min

Term
What mask provides the most reliable and consistent oxygen delivery?
Definition
venturi
Term
Three goals of oxygen therapy
Definition
- Reverse hypoxemia
- Decrease work of respiratory system
- Decrease heart's work in pumping blood
Term
Which mask is used for chronic COPD patients?
Definition
Venturi
Term
Which oxygen delivery device is preferred for its minimal interruption with client's ability to talk, eat, etc.
Definition
cannula
Term
Venturi mask oxygen concentration limits
Definition
24-50%
Term
non-rebreather mask oxygen concentration limits
Definition
90-100%
Term
partial rebreather mask oxygen concentration limits
Definition
60-90%
Term
simple mask oxygen concentration limits
Definition
40-60%
Term
nasal cannula oxygen concentration limits
Definition
24-44%
Term
SaO2 range requiring immediate intervention
Definition
<85%
Term
Mixed with oxygen at the delivery point to prevent irritation to the respiratory mucosa.
Definition
water
Term
Plain face mask
Definition

- good for mouth breathers
- 4-10 liters ( 35-50% oxygen)
- "suffoca
ting"

 

Covers the clients nose and mouth

FiO2 of 40-60%; 5-8 L/min

Easy to apply, more comfortable than nasalC, simple delivery
-5 L/min or lower may cause Co2 rebreathing
-Poorly tolerated with claustrophobia/anxiety
-Caution with high risk aspiration or airway obstruction
-Secure fit and wear NC during meals

Term
Venturi mask
Definition

- 4-10 liters (24-50% oxygen)
- exact amount of O2 delivery
- not as drying to mucous membranes
- can't eat, talk

 

FiO2 of 24-55% at 2-10 L/min via different size adaptors

Delivers most precise oxygen concentration
-No humidification required
-best for clients with chronic lung disease
-expensive
-assess flow rate frequently and make sure tubing is free of kinks

Term
What does a pulse oximeter measure?
Definition
Arterial oxygen saturation via a wave of infrared light that measures light absorption by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in arterial blood
Term
Partial Re-breather
Definition

- 6-10 liters ( 35-60% oxygen)
-Re-breather some of your exhaled volume
- easy to humidify
- bag fills on exhalation
- partial collapse on inhalation

 

covers nose and mouth

FiO2 of 60-75%, rate 6-11 L/min
-Mask has a reservoir bag with no valve; client rebreathes up to 1/3 exhaled air together with room air
-Complete deflation causes Co2 buildup
-NC during meals; secure fit
-Caution: aspiration or airway obstruction risk patients

Term
Non-re-breather
Definition

- 6-15 liters (60-100% oxygen)
- highest possible oxygen concentration without being on ventilator
-drying, confining,and can't eat or talk
-only breathing oxygen.. not en-training form the "outside air"
-bag will not totally deflate on inhalation

 

FiO2 of 80-95% at 10-15 L/min to keep bag 2/3 full during I and E

Delivers highest O2 concentration possible without intubation
-one way valve allows client to inhale max O2 from bag, two E flaps cover to prevent room air from entering
-Caution: clients with high aspiration/obstruction risk, NC during meals
-Perform hourly assessment of valve and flap

Term
SaO2 Sat Levels
Definition
Below 91% requires interventions to help client regain acceptable levels (using lowest amount possible)

Below 90% indicates hypoxemia
Below 86% is an emergency
Below 80% is life threatening

Lower the level, the less accurate the value
Term
Order of what to do if SaO2 is below 90%
Definition
This indicates hypoxemia

-Confirm that sensor prove is properly placed
-Confirm that oxygen delivery system is functioning and that client is receiving prescribed levels
-Place client in Semi-Fowlers or Fowlers
-Encourage deep breathing
-Report significant findings
-Remain with client and provide emotional support to decrease anxiety
Term
Early/late signs of hypoxemia
Definition
Early: tachypnea, tachycardia, restlessness, pale skin and mucous membranes. elevated BP, symptoms of respiratory distress

Late: confusion and stupor, cyanotic skin and mucous membranes, bradypnea, bradycardia, hypotension, cardiac dysrhythmias
Term
Aerosol mask
Definition
Face tent-fits loosely around the face and neck, and tracheostomy collar-small mask that covers surgical opening of trachea

FiO2 of 24-100% at at least 10L/min
Humidification is provided

-Use with clients who cant tolerate masks well; clients with facial trauma, burns and thick secretions
-Frequent monitoring due to high humidification; ensure adequate water in canister
-Empty condensation
-Make sure tubing does not pull on tracheostomy
Term
Oxygen Toxicity
Definition
.s.: nonproductive cough, substernal pain, nasal stuffiness, n/v, fatigue, headache, sore throat, hypoventilation

-Use lowest level of oxygen to maintain sats
-Monitor ABGs and notify if Sats are outside range
-Use o2 mask with: CPAP-continous positive airway pressure, BiPAP-bilevel positive airway pressure, or PEEP-positive end=expiratory pressure
-Reduce FiO2 as soon as condition permits
Term
COPD oxygen
Definition
Rely on low levels of arterial oxygen as their primary drive. It is a chronic condition of hypoxemia and hypercapnia. High levels of oxygen can decrease or eliminate respiratory drive
-Monitor RR and pattern, LOC, and SaO2
-Lowest liter flow; a venturi mask if tolerated for precision
-Notify provider of resp depression (low RR or LOC)
Term
Combustion Actions for Oxygen
Definition
Post No Smoking, Oxygen in Use signs
-Know where extinguisher is
-Educate about fire hazard of smoking with oxygen
-Have client wear cotton gown; synthetic or wool generate static electricity
-Ensure all electric devices work properly and machinery is grounded
-Do not use volatile, flammable materials near client (alcohol, acetone)
