Presentation Transcript

  1. RESPIRATORY TREATMENTS

  2. MEDICATIONS • Bronchoconstrictor • Bronchodialator • Mast Cell Inhibitor • Anti-inflammatory • Antibiotics

  3. Nose and Throat • Septoplasty – surgical reconstruction of the nasal septum • Sinusotomy – surgical incision into a sinus. Used to tx chronic sinusitis • Laryngectomy – surgical removal of the larynx • Endotracheal Intubation – establishes an airway

  4. Trachea and Bronchi • Tracheotomy – emergency procedure in which an incision is made into the trachea to gain access to the airway below a blockage • Tracheostomy – creating an opening into the trachea and inserting a tube to facilitate airway clearance and air diffusion • Stoma – an opening on a body surface

  5. Lungs, Pleura, Thorax • Pneumonectomy – removal of all or part of a lung • Lobectomy – removal of a lobe • Pleurectomy – surgical removal of part of the pleura • Thoracentesis – puncture of a chest wall with a needle to obtain the fluid from the pleural cavity, etc (use to re-expand collapse lung and to drain pleural effusions • Thoractomy – surgical incision into the chest wall

  6. Respiratory Therapy • Supplemental Oxygen • Postural Drainage • Ventilator/Respirator – Mechanical device for artificial ventilation • IPPB Machine – Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing

  7. Oxygen • Depending on the state, health care assistant may not be able to administer • Used to treat hypoxia (symptoms inc. rapid resp rate/pulse, restlessness and cyanosis) • Needs a physician order – will include the method of administration and the concentration to be given

  8. Methods of Administration • Cannula –a low-flow oxygen delivery device designed to operate with flows usually 2 to 6 L/min.   

  9. Methods of O2 Administration • Mask – rate 6 to 10 liters/min • These devices are high-flow oxygen delivery devices.  Precise F1O2's are controlled using Bernoulli's principle. F1O2 can be adjusted by changing either the size of the jet or the size of the air entrainment port.

  10. Methods of O2 Administration • Tent/Hood – rate 10 to 12 liters/min

  11. Methods of O2 Administration • Plastic tube inserted by MD, RN, RT, or other qualified indiv. • Flow rate 2 to 6L/min

  12. Precautions • Monitor patient • Humidify O2-distilled water, max fill ½ to 2/3 fill • Avoid flammable materials • No smoking • No flammable materials (nail polish removal) • Static electricity
