100% CORRECT WELL DETAILED
Administration of a bronchodilator - ANSWER 1) inhaler is administrated only if
gestured by the patient
*indication (gesture) is crucial
2) contact medical control if needed
Assessment and treatment of patient with foreign body object -
ANSWER Talking/crying patients have an open airway
If ^ is absent, you may hear stridor or snoring
Foreign body objects may need to be removed through abdominal thrusts or chest
compressions
Determining the appropriate oxygen delivery device based on patient signs, symptoms and
history - ANSWER Nasal Cannula:
-patient needs just enough to saturate more than 94% O2
-patient is claustrophobic or cannot tolerate a NRB
-patients who require long term oxygen such as COPD
NRB:
-patients in shock, or with hypoxia from any cause
-in need of high flow oxygen but breathing on own
1
,BVM:
-patients unable to breathe on their own
-in need of high flow oxygen
-advanced airway will be required for effective delivery
CPAP:
-patient must be alert/able to follow commands
-pulse ox <90%
->26 breaths a minute
Identification of hypoxia - ANSWER early identification:
*restlessness/anxiety
*irritability
*apprehension
*tachycardia
late identification:
*AMS
*LOC
*weak, thready pulse
Indications and techniques for using a nasal airway - ANSWER used in
1) adult patients who are unconscious and have gag reflex
2) adult patients with AMS (ie stroke)
3) responsive peds
contradications:
2
, 1) severe head injury
2) history of fractured nasal bone
techniques:
1) size airway from tip of nose to patient's earlobe
2) insert lubricated into nose
3) continue to insert until flange hits nostrils
SAS of emphysema
SAS of bronchittis - ANSWER EMPHYSEMA:
barrel chest
pursed lip breathing
dyspnea on exertion
cyanosis
wheezing
BRONCHITIS:
chronic cough
cyanosis
tachypnea
Techniques for opening the airway of an infant - ANSWER -place folded towel under
infants shoulders to open airway
-use tongue depressor to lift infants chin and tongue out of the way
Treating a patient in respiratory arrest - ANSWER 1) assess responsiveness
2) after determining respiratory arrest, open airway
