In this disease, elastic recoil of the lung is diminished, expiratory flow rates are
reduced, there is an increased FRC, lung compliance is increased. - ANSWERS-
Emphysema
an abnormal, irreversible dilation of the bronchi caused by destructive and
inflammatory changes in the walls of the airway. Caused by respiratory infections,
TB lesion, secondary to cystic fibrosis, bronchial obstruction. Productive cough
with large amounts of thick, foul smelling sputum. - ANSWERS-Bronchiectasis
Most common causative organism of pneumonia (bacterial) - ANSWERS-
streptococcus pneumoniae
,What is P. jiroveci pneumonia treated with? - ANSWERS-Pentamidine
what type of organism is the most common cause of lung abscess, creating foul
smelling secretions? - ANSWERS-Anaerobic
Use inspiratory flow equation: flow rate = L/t
0.5 L/1 second = 0.5 LPS
0.5 x 60 = 30 LPM at least must be delivered
Find air/O2 ratio:
100-35=65
35-21=14
65/14 = 4.64, so ratio is 5:1
5+1 = 6 x 6LPM = 36 LPM delivered by the air entrainment mask
While making oxygen rounds, you discover the 6 inch reservoir tubing on a 60% T-
piece set up has fallen off. What may result from this situation?
1. The FiO2 could decrease
2. The total flow to the patient could increase
,3. More room air entrainment could occur - ANSWERS-FiO2 decrease and room
entrainment can occur
A patient is using a 30% air entrainment mask at an O2 flow of 5 LPM. What is the
total flow being delivered? - ANSWERS-100-30 = 70
30-21 = 9
70/9 = 7.7, so 8:1
8+1 = 9
9x5 LPM = 45 LPM
Large cylinders use which type of safety system? - ANSWERS-ASSS (american
standard safety system)
*different number of threads/inch and different thread size
Small cylinders use which type of safety system? - ANSWERS-PISS (pin index safety
system)
Color of carbon dioxide tank - ANSWERS-gray
Color of nitrous oxide tank - ANSWERS-light blue
, Color of helium tank - ANSWERS-brown
color of oxygen tank - ANSWERS-green
The respiratory therapist receives an order to set up a moderate level of oxygen
on a patient who arrives in the ED breathing at a rate of 35 BPM. Which of the
following is most appropriate to use?
1. Simple O2 mask at 10 LPM
2. Nasal cannula at 4 LPM
3. Nonrebreathing mask at 15 LPM
4. Air-entrainment mask at 40% O2 - ANSWERS-Simple mask at 10 LPM
The physician has ordered oxygen to be set up on a patient who has a
spontaneous tidal volume of 500 mL and an inspiratory time of 1 second. Which
of the following devices will deliver a flow that meets or exceeds this patient's
inspiratory flow?
1. 35% air entrainment mask at 6 LPM
2. 60% aerosol mask at 12 LPM
