EMR EXAM QUESTION AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Simple Face Mask - ✔✔-Some have 1 way valve
-Have O2 inlets
-Effective Use of mask device
-Under Finger of bottom hand placed at bottom of mask to create seal
-Diverts Exhaled Air
-Diverts blood from getting into rescuers mouth
-Deliver air over one second
-Often used at between 5 and 8 LPM, with a concentration of oxygen to the patient of between 28%
and 50%
Jaw/Thrust Maneuver - ✔✔REduces Neck/Spine movement
OPA - ✔✔-Inserted into oropharynx
-Measure from earlobe to corner of mouth
-dont use if pt has intact gag reflex or the pt has a foreign object obstructing the airway
NPA - ✔✔-Insert into nasopharynx
-Measure from earlobe to tip of pt's nose
-Dont use if pt has nasal fractures or actively bleeding nose
Causes of Respiratory Arrest - ✔✔-MI
-Mechanical Blockage/Obstruction caused by tongue
-vomit
respiratory distress - ✔✔serious reaction to various forms of injuries to the lung
respiratory arrest - ✔✔a cessation of breathing that is usually related to or coincides with a cardiac
arrest
, nasal cannula - ✔✔-DElivers low-flow oxygen at 1-6L/min at a concentration of 24%-44% oxygen
Nonrebreathing mask - ✔✔Delivers oxygen at high flow rate at 8-15L/min at concentration up to
90% oxygen
Pulse Oximetry - ✔✔monitors oxygen saturation, assess the amount of oxygen in reg blood cells
Suction Machines - ✔✔Helpful in removing secretions. Manual suction devices are inexpensive.
-Clear the patient's mouth with your gloved finder, do not suction for more than 15 seconds at a
time, and change to the flexible tip and clear out deeper parts of the patients throat.
CPR - ✔✔-First
-Check for rise and fall of chest when giving bereaths
-5 cycles over 2 mnutes
-100/min
-30 compress/2 breaths=1 cycle
depth of chest is 2 inches in adults
depth of chest is 1 1/2 in for infants (1/3 of chesT)
1)Establish responsiveness and breathing
2) check for circuation
3) chest compress
4)open airway
5) rescue breathing
Chest thrusts - ✔✔perform on pregnant or obese pts
Deliver downwards on infants after back-blows
Only use chest thrusts and back blows on infants
Back blows - ✔✔try on infants who have obstruction
abdominal thrusts - ✔✔perform while sitting/standing
