orotracheal intubation - ANSWER-involves placing an ET tube
into the trachea through the mouth
in nasotracheal intubation the patient must be doing what? -
ANSWER-patient must be breathing to ensure that the ET tube
is passed through the vocal cords
tha aim of rapid-sequence intubation is to minimize the period
at risk for - ANSWER-aspiration
the aim is to smoothly and quickly render the patient
unconscious and unresponsive and to induce muscle relaxation
in only the time necessary for time necessary for the
medication to reach the brain in order to make intubation
possible while maintaining stable cerebral pressure and
cardiovasular hemodynamics
,2 | Page
delayed sequence intubation - ANSWER-pt is preoxygenated
under ketamine sedation when muscle relaxant is administered
and the patient is intubated with nasal canula
indications for surgical cricothyrotomy intubation - ANSWER-
massive midface trauma precluding the use of mask-bag
device
inability to control the airway using less invasive maneuvers
agonal aspiration - ANSWER-when some one not getting
enough O2 is gasping for air
sign a person is near death; it is a reflex, not true breathing
ventilation - ANSWER-the mechanical act of drawing air
through the mouth and nose into the the trachea and bronchi
and then into the lungs
minute ventilation - ANSWER-total volume of air moved into
and out of the lungs in 1 min
, 3 | Page
tidal volume - ANSWER-amount of air that is inhaled and then
exhaled during a normal breath (0.4 - 0.5 L)
pneumothorax - ANSWER-air in the pleural cavity
tension pneumothorax - ANSWER-a type of pneumothorax in
which air that enters the chest cavity is prevented from
escaping
caused by a penetrating object
flail chest - ANSWER-occurs when two or more adjacent ribs
are fractures in more than one place along their length
when you inhale the flail check goes in and when exhale the
chest goes out
how do you manage a flail chest - ANSWER-directed towards
pain relief, ventilatory support, and monitoring
