spontaneous (normal) breathing and ventilation?

,can effect venous return and decrease CARDIAC
OUTPUT! (from over inflated lungs)
can damage lung tissue--> pneumothorax
can effect gut, kidneys, and other organs
What negative effects can the positive pressure
with ventilation cause?


oxygenation --> delivering oxygen to the blood
ventilation--> moving gas in and out
What is the difference between oxygenation and
ventilation?


Intubation --> putting in the ET tube
Extubation --> removing ET tube
What is intubation? extubation?


maintain airwat
reduce work of breathing

, remove secretions
provide ventilation and O2
What is the purpose of intubation?


Oral --> best to avoid bacteria, quickest, easiest
for emergencies
Nasal--> can be used when there is oral trauma or
when oral is not possible
