Question 1: pressure regulator
Answer:
a device connected to an oxygen cylinder to reduce cylinder pressure so it is safe for delivery of oxygen to a patient
Question 2: oxygen cylinder
Answer:
a cylinder filled with oxygen under pressure
Question 3: How many liters of oxygen does a M cylinder contain?
Answer:
3,000 liters
Question 4: partial rebreather mask
Answer:
a face mask and reservoir oxygen bag with no one-way valve to the reservoir bag so some exhaled air mixes with the oxygen; used in some patients to help preserve carbon dioxide levels in the blood to stimulate breathing
Question 5: artificial ventilation
Answer:
forcing air or oxygen into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has inadequate breathing.also called positive pressure ventilation
Question 6: automatic transport ventilator
Answer:
a device that provides positive pressure ventilations. it includes settings designed to adjust ventilation rate and volume, is portable and is easily carried on an ambulance
Question 7: stoma
Answer:
a permanent surgical opening in the neck through which the patient breathes
Question 8: What are the normal respiratory rates for an infant?
Answer:
25-50 breathes per minute
Question 9: pocket face mask
Answer:
a device usually with a one-way valve, to aid in artificial ventilation. a rescuer breathes through the valve when the mask is placed over the patient's face. it acts as a barrier to prevent contact with a patient's breath or body fluids
Question 10: What is the appropriate intervention for adequate breathing?
Answer:
oxygen by a nonrebreather mask or nasal cannula
Question 11: pulmonary respiration
Answer:
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and circulating blood in the pulmonary capillaries
Question 12: How many liters of oxygen does a E cylinder contain?
Answer:
625 liters
Question 13: How many liters of oxygen does a H cylinder contain?
Answer:
6,900 liters
Question 14: alveolar ventilation
Answer:
the amount of air that reaches the alveoli
Question 15: respiration
Answer:
the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the blood and between the blood and the cells. also used to mean, simply, breathing Question 16: What are the negative side effects of positive pressure ventilation?
Answer:
decreasing cardiac output, gastric distention, and hyperventilation
Question 17: What is the cylinder constant for a M cylinder?
Answer:
1.56
Question 18: What is the cylinder constant for a E cylinder?
Answer:
0.28
Question 19: respiratory distress
Answer:
increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of breath
Question 20: cyanosis
Answer:
a blue or gray color resulting from lack of oxygen in the body
Question 21: ventilation
Answer:
breathing in and out, or artificial provision of breaths
Question 22: hypercapnia
Answer:
high levels of carbon dioxide
Question 23: flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device
Answer:
a device that uses oxygen under pressure to deliver artificial ventilations. its trigger is placed so the rescuer can operate it while still using both hands to maintain a seal on the face mask
Question 24: bag-valve mask
Answer:
a handheld device with a face mask and self-refilling bag that can be squeezed to provide artificial ventilations to a patient. it can deliver air from the atmosphere or oxygen from a supplemental oxygen supply system
Question 25: diffusion
Answer:
a process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
Question 26: cellular respiration
Answer:
the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between cells and circulating blood
Question 27: nasal cannula
Answer:
a device that delivers low concentrations of oxygen through two prongs that rest in the patient's nostrils
