COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A++ LATEST UPDATE
Ventilation
Breathing in and out (inhalation and exhalation)
Alveolar Ventilation
The amount of air that reaches the alveoli during inhalation
Respiratory arrest
When breathing completely stops
Positive Pressure Ventilation
The process of forcing air and or oxygen into the lungs when breathing has stopped
Respiratory Failure
The reduction of breathing to the point at which oxygen intake is not sufficient to support
life
Respiration
The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the blood and
between the blood and the cells
Pulmonary Respiration
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulating blood
in the pulmonary capillaries
Bag-valve mask (BVM)
,A handheld device with a face mask and self-refilling bag that can be squeezed to
provide artificial ventilation's to a patient
Ventuir Mask
A face mask that delivers very specific concentrations of oxygen by mixing oxygen with
inhaled air
Tracheostomy mask
A device designed to be placed over a stoma or tracheostomy tube to provide
supplemental oxygen
Automatic transport ventilator (ATV)
A device that provides positive pressure ventilation's. It includes settings designed to
adjust ventilation rate and volume, is portable, and is easily carried on an ambulance
Oxygen Cylinder
A cylinder filled with oxygen under pressure
Pressure regulator
A device connected to an oxygen cylinder to reduce cylinder pressure so that it is safe
for delivery of oxygen to a patient
Respiratory failure is
inadequacy of breathing with insufficient oxygen intake
Respiratory failure VS respiratory distress
A patient with respiratory failure has cyanotic or gray skin color
Your patient has overdosed on a narcotic medication that was prescribed for pain
after a surgical procedure. Apparently, she took four times the prescribed dose,
, thinking that she could completely eliminate the pain. This medication has been
known to depress respiration's and lead to what
Hypoxia
The normal, or adequate breathing rate for a 50 year old adult should be what
12 to 20 breaths per minute
How do you know that you are ventilating a patient properly
The patient's chest rises and falls with each ventilation
The bag-valve mask should be capable of
withstanding cold temperatures
In ventilating a 22 year old unconscious female, a bag-valve mask should be used
with
A reservoir bag, oxygen tank and a liter flow regulator, oral airway
When prolonged ventilation need to be done on a patient and there is only one
EMT on the airway, you should consider using a
automatic transport ventilator
A fully pressurized portable oxygen tank should have approximately what psi
2000
Which portable oxygen cylinder, when full, lasts the longest when delivering
oxygen
E
Before connecting a regulator to an oxygen supply cylinder, the EMT should
crack the main valve for one second
Humidified oxygen
