a, For the early initiation mechanical hyperventilation, can
fulfill the patient high respiratory drive and there will be less
chance of ALI. Hyperventilation increases blood PH and normalizes
cellular function. hypocapnia affects arterial blood oxygenation,
hyperventilation increases the arterial o2tension and normalizes
the acid-base condition.
b, Metabolic acidosis compromises normal cellular function. using
sodium bicarbonate to treat metabolic acidosis is controversial.
Tris hydroxymethyl aminomethane(THAM) can be an effective method to
control acidosis, THAM excreted by the kidney, so co2 production
will not rise, it control the arterial PH and decreases arterial
co2 tension. it is an effective alteration for sodium bicarbonate
for treating acidosis with ALI.
c, Permissive hypercapnia acceptable to treat patients with ALI.
patient tolerate respiratory acidosis until renal compensation
correct arterial PH. THAM has more buffering capacity than
bicarbonate, it will be effective in metabolic acidosis. THAM
avoided respiratory compensation with mechanical ventilation to
avoid lung injury.
Metabolic acidosis often occurs in patients with impaired circulation following cardiac arrest. Mechanical hyperventilation cannot be...
1.All of the following are examples of upper airway obstruction EXCEPT: Asthma Croup Laryngitis Anaphylaxis Exposure in PALS evaluations refers to an assessment for: Trauma Burns Fractures Any of the signs of a problem above Which statement about fluid therapy for shock is NOT correct? Fluid therapy is never indicated for cardiogenic shock. Fluid therapy with small boluses is commonly indicated for cardiogenic shock.Increased urine output often indicates improved condition, None of the above True or False: When treating obstructive...
True or False: A respiratory rate consistently less than 10 or greater than 60 breaths per minute in a child of any age is abnormal and suggests the presence of a potentially serious problem. True False True or False: PALS management of respiratory distress/failure is adjusted based on the severity of the current condition. True False True or False: Shock may occur with a normal, increased, or decreased systemic arterial pressure. True False True or False: Respiratory failure or shock...
