Rate
Rhythm
Effort
Depth
Odor
3
Q

Respiratory assessment- factors that influence respiration

6 influences

A
Exercise
Fever
Acute pain
Anxiety
Smoking
Body position
4
Q

what influence make the rate and depth of respiration increase?

A

Exercise and Anxiety

5
Q

what influence makes the rate of respiration increase?

A

Fever and Smoking

6
Q

What influence makes the respiratory rate go up and the depth go down?

A

Acute pain

7
Q

what influence makes the respiratory rate go down?

A

Body position

8
Q
How does medication affect respiratory rate?
Opioids?
Amphetamines and cocaine?
Bronchodilators?
Caffeine?
A

Opioids: depress rate and depth
Amphetamines and cocaine: increased rate and depth
Bronchodilators: slow rate
Caffeine: shallow rapid breathing

9
Q

Respiratory assessment for neurological injury?

A

Brain stem impairs respiratory center inhibiting rate and rhythm

10
Q

Respiratory assessment for abnormal blood cell function?

A

Sickle cell disease

Increases respiratory rate and depth

11
Q

What is Hypoxia?

A

Inadequate tissue oxygenation at the cellular level
Life threatening condition
Untreated produces cardiac dysrhythmias
Death

12
Q

Clinical signs of Hypoxia

A
Increased pulse initially
Increased resp rate and depth initially
Cyanosis, later sign
Apprehension
Restlessness, can't lay flat
Inability to concentrate
Confusion
Dizziness
Behavioral changes
Decreased LOC
13
Q

Lung sounds common errors to avoid

A

listening to sounds through patients gown/clothing
tube rubbing against bed rails/clothing
chest hair
auscultating on only the convenient areas of the chest

14
Q

Pulse oximeter sensor locations?

A
Bridge of adult nose
Sole of infant foot
Ear lobe
Finger
Toes
Forehead
Normal: 95-100%
15
Q

Pulse ox interference

A
Nail polish
Artificial nails
Patient movement
Jaundice
Dark skin pigment
Cold extremities
16
Q
Types of inhalers and when taken
Controller med?
Combination inhaler?
Anticholinergics?
Rescue med?
A

Controller med: taken daily, corticosteroids

Combination inhalers: taken daily, contain inhaled corticosteroid plus long acting beta agonist

Anticholinergics: maintenance therapy, helps open airways

Rescue med: short acting beta agonists; quickly relax/open airways, used during flare or before exercise

17
Q

Oxygen safety?

A

Start/adjust per Dr orders
Place “oxygen in use” sign
No smoking
Store cylinders upright in holders
Check O2 level prior to transferring patient
Monitor electrical equipment for integrity/ground plugs
Avoid petroleum and aerosol products containing acetone

18
Q

Nasal Cannula percentage and Liters

A

1 Liter- 24% to 6 Liter- 44%

Max 6 liters

19
Q

Simple mask % and liters

A

6-12 Liters
35-50% FiO2
Humidified

20
Q

Venturi Mask % and liters

A

4 Liters: 24-28%
8 Liters: 35-40%
12 Liters: 50%

21
Q

NonRebreather Mask % and liters

A

10-15 Liters: 60-90%

Bag must be inflated at all times

22
Q

Simple Mask
Advantage?
Disadvantages?

A

Advantage:
humidifies O2

Disadvantage:
O2 level difficult to estimate
requires high flow O2 to prevent CO2 rebreathing
hot/confining
interferes with easting/drinking/talking
condensation can irritate skin
23
Q

Nasal Cannula
Advantages?
Disadvantages?

A

Advantage
most comfortable
can eat/drink/talk
can continue activity

Disadvantage:
easily dislodged
drying to mucous membranes
can't use with nasal obstruction
can't use with mouth breathing
can cause skin irritation (monitor ears, nares, cheeks)
24
Q

Venturi Mask
Advantages?
Disadvantage?

A

Advantage:
specific oxygen setting (COPD pt)
exhaled ports keep CO2 build up to min

Disadvantage:
specific O2 flow needed to delivered specific O2 concentration
hot/confining
interferes with easting/drinking/talking
condensation can irritate skin
25
Q

NonRebreather Mask
Advantages?
Disadvantages?

A

Advantages:
highest noninvasive O2 delivery
respiratory distress
extubated ventilator pt

Disadvantage:
reservoir bag must stay inflated
hot/confining
interferes with easting/drinking/talking
condensation can irritate skin
