Lung sounds you may hear in Pneumonia - ANSWER Crackles, wheezing, rales,
rhonchi
What conditions have wheezes - ANSWER Bronchitis, Pneumonia, asthma
Lung sounds in Pulmonary Embolus - ANSWER No different than the patients
normal
Potential benefits of using Combivent as opposed to straight albuterol - ANSWER
Combivent has both Ipratropium and Albuterol. Albuterol starts working faster but
doesn't last as long and Ipratropium takes longer to work but lasts longer
Conditions for which most protocols consider PEEP to be appropriate - ANSWER
CHF, COPD, Pulmonary Edema
Conditions for which an alveolar problem exists - ANSWER Emphysema,
pneumonia, CHF
Conditions for which a bronchiolar problem exists - ANSWER Bronchitis,
pneumonia, asthma
Beta 2 agonists are effective for: alveolar or bronchiolar - ANSWER Bronchiolar
Your patient is not improving from his MDI of beta 2 agonist and your high-flow
nebulizer treatment of beta 2 agonist. What is usually the problem and what will you
do about it - ANSWER The medication may be "dead spacing" and not actually
reaching the tissues it needs to consider an injected beta 2 agonist
What is pneumonia - ANSWER Infection and inflammation of the lungs
What is hypoxic drive - ANSWER Respiratory drive is no longer controlled by the
level of C02 in the blood and it is controlled by the oxygen levels
3 causes of bronchiolar obstruction - ANSWER Asthma, anaphylaxis, bronchitis
What lung sounds go with bronchiolar obstruction - ANSWER Wheezing
What other assessment tool can you use to "see" bronchiolar obstruction when you
are not sure if you are hearing it? - ANSWER ETC02
What will you see in bronchiolar obstruction with ETC02 - ANSWER Shark-fin
waveform rather than a square plateau
What is an MDI - ANSWER Meter Dosed Inhaler - some people carry for their
asthma or other bronchiolar lung disease
What is a nebulizer - ANSWER A device that atomizes medications into particles
that can be breathing in
