QUESTION COLLECTION WITH EXPERT
SOLUTIONS
◉ Capnographer
Answer: Performs the same function and attaches in the same way
as the capnometer, but it provides a graphic representation of
exhaled carbon dioxide.
◉ Capnometer
Answer: Capnometer provides a numeric reading of exhaled carbon
dioxide.
◉ Phase A of Waveform
Answer: First phase, is the respiratory baseline. The initial stage of
exhalation; the gas sample is dead space gas, free of CO2.
◉ Phase B of Waveform
Answer: Second phase, abrupt rise in CO2 due to a mixture of
alveolar gas with dead space gas, called the upslope. Also phase B-C.
◉ Phase C of Waveform
, Answer: Expiratory or alveolar plateau is represented by phase C-D,
and the gas sampled is essentially alveolar.
◉ Phase D of Waveform
Answer: Point D is maximal ETCO2 level, the best reflection of teh
alveolar CO2 level.
◉ Phase E of Waveform
Answer: Fresh gas is introduced during the inspiratory downstroke
(phase D-E), and the waveform returns to the baseline level of CO2-
approx 0.
◉ Bag Valve Mask
Answer: Whenever possible, you and your partner should work
together to provide ventilation's with the BVM, to ensure the
artificial ventilations are adequate, you must look for CHEST RISE
AND FALL, make sure the RATE IS NOT TOO FAST or SLOW, and
make sure the PULSE RATE IMPROVES.
◉ CPAP
Answer: CHF pt's, pulm edema, COPD, and acute bronchospasm
(acute asthma), submersion accidents, pulse ox less than 90, and
rapid breathing, are indications for CPAP. Do not use if pt has
abnormal LOC, hypoventilation, pneumothorax, tracheostomy, and
active GI bleed.
