Nursing Stuff: Ventilators
Answers
01. b. If you are a nurse, this might be one of your first actions. If you are able to manage the vent, then D might be appropriate. Remember the DOPE mnemonic for troubleshooting the ET tube: Displacement Obstruction Pnemothorax Equipment failure
02. a. Continuous mandatory ventilation
03. c. 20 - 30 mm Hg
04. b. PEEP. It increases the functional residual capacity

Hello Mike,
ReplyDeleteI saw some of your rhythm tames and was wondering if it would be ok if i used them in a AED training course (just to identify in a rudimentary way what the AED works on). Its just a coarse VF, fine VF and Asystole i am looking to use. Really identifying the absolute critical need for High Quality CPR from the beginning of the arrest.
Stefan Hickman. The rhythm strips are for learning purposes and free for all to use. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteMike you are a scholar and a gentleman.
