Anatomy and Physiology Just the Basics CPR! Diagnostic indicators
100
What is Oxygen
This gas is inhaled and diffuses into the blood stream in the lungs
100
What is Carbon Dioxide
This is the gas that capnography measures
100
What is Endotracheal tube and King LTSD
ETCO2 detectors can be applied to these advanced airways
100
What is hypocarbia
This is the medical term for when the pt.'s EtCO2 levels are less than 35 mm Hg
200
What is Carbon Dioxide
This gas is produced as a waste product by cells and exhaled
200
What is 35-45 mm Hg
This is the normal range for capnography values in healthy people
200
What is 10mm Hg
This is the level you can expect EtCO2 to be when doing adequate compressions
200
What is hypercarbia
This is the medical term for when the pt.'s EtCO2 levels exceed 45 mm Hg
300
What are alveoli
These structures in the respiratory tract are tiny air sacs that allow for rapid gas exchange
300
What is approximately $11
This is how much an adult cannula costs
300
What is a spike in EtCO2
This is an indicator of ROSC
300
What is low EtCO2
This would indicate sepsis in a patient
400
What is thought the nose, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, capillaries
This is the pathway that gas travels through the airway to the blood stream
400
What are the oxygen bag, the monitor (left side as you face it) and the cabinet in the medic unit
This is where capnography cannulas are kept (3 places)
400
What is square wave
This is the ideal wave form to confirm an advanced airway
400
What is shark fin
This is the characteristic shape of the wave form in an asthma attack
500
What is end tidal capnography
This is what EtCO2 stands for
500
What is all working CPRs
Apply EtCO2 to these patients (remember the category!)
500
What is hyperventilation
This will decrease the pt.'s EtCO2 level
