indications for intubation
4 Ps Patency of airway Pos pressure ventilation Protection from aspiration Predict deterioration
when should anticipate intubation
6 Ps of RSI
PRep PRe-oxygenate - 3-5 minutes Pretreat with medss Paralysis with induction Place the tube with proof Post-intunation mgmt
3 ways to help intubation
5 major causes pf resp distress
"breathing poorly can cause a lot of tension" PE pulmonary edeme (CHF) Acute exacerbation of COPD acute severe asthma Tension pneumo
5 possible substances blocking lung parenchyma
4 possible problems with circulation in lungs
4 things that can invade pleural space
3 possible reasons chest wall compliance issues
3 cardiac causes
what does SaO2 of 90% equal in pO2
60
what is main PFT in ER
peak expiratory flow
- to assess limitations
what is def. of resp failure
pO2 45
2 types of resp failure
O2 delvery types and the o2 amounts
prongs - 25-40% face mask - 50-60% O2 reservoir mask - 90% bag-valve AMBU - 100% CPAP/biPAP
3 main systems to think about with shock
signs of shock
mental status pulse - high BP - insensitive marker for tissue perfusion orthostatic vitals resp rate - tachypnea skin - cool and clammy heart sounds - muffled in cardiac JVP - low in hypo and sepsis, high in LV failure and R heart problems
