, RN role during intubation - ANSWER monitor pt vital signs especially
O2 sats, administer medications, monitor time of intubation attempts,
suctioning as needed
intubation process - ANSWER -following sedation, bag mask ventilate
the pt
-physician visualize ETT passing through cords
-anesthesia backup will be notified after 10 minutes or 2 attempts to
secure the airway
post intubation care - ANSWER -portable chest x-ray, ABGs
-obtain sedation and analgesia orders
PEEP -
-hourly RASS observation
ANSWER
-monitor for hemodynamic changes
positive
ventilator settings - ANSWER FiO2
end-expiratory pressure, provides
Tidal Volume
positive pressure to airways during
Respiratory Rate
expiration and helps keep alveoli
PEEP open
Mode
common mechanical ventilator setting in which airway pressure is
maintained above atmospheric pressure
disadvantages: increased thoracic pressure decreases venous return to
the heart. high levels can cause barotrauma, tension pneumo
respiratory rate - ANSWER minimum number of breaths per minute the
vent will ensure your pt takes
increase the rate to blow off CO2, decrease rate to retain
