ET-Ventilator • Identify indications for placement of endotracheal tube/ventilator. • Describe nursing responsibilities and priorities for the client during intubation with ventilator. • Identify principles of ABG interpretation and relevance to ventilator management. • Describe different modes of ventilation and significance of ventilator settings. • State potential complications and measures to prevent complications with ventilator.

  5. Insulin & Carb Counting • Time action profiles of… • Novolog • Regular • Lente • NPH • Mixing • Insulin pen

  6. IV Med Administration Principles • COMPATIBILITY • Correctly calculate rate of IV push to q15-30 seconds • Label all syringes brought into room once aspirated • Assess site • Aseptic technique w/port • Knowledge of most common side effects

  7. IV Meds • IV Push • Morphine 4mg/1cc • PDA 1mg per minute…how much volume q minute • IV Piggyback • Rocephin 1Gram in 50cc bag • Give over 30”-what do you set IV pump to infuse • IV Heparin • 215 lbs. • 70u/kg bolus….15u/kg hourly rate

  8. SAVE that Line! • S: Scrupulous hand hygiene • Before and after contact w/vascular access device and prior to insertion • A: Aseptic technique • During catheter insertion & care • V: Vigorous friction to hubs • With alcohol whenever you make or break a connection to give meds, flush • E: Ensure patency • Flush all lumens w/adequate amount of saline or heparin to maintain patency per hospital policy

  9. IV Insertion:Venous Selection • Start distally • LE not routinely used in adults due to risk of embolism/thromboplebitis • Visualize veins if possible • Avoid areas of flexion • Use smallest IV possible • 22 ga. (blue) Standard • Ensure vein can handle size of jelco

  10. Principles of IV Therapy • BP cuff-keep on opposite arm if continuous IV infusion • Do not use PIV same side as pt. who has had axillary node dissection, dialysis shunt • Hair removal if needed-use clippers or scissors

  11. IV Insertion • Chloroprep • Prep for at least 10 seconds • Allow to air dry before insertion • Distal/circumferential traction • Low approach angle…bevel up directly on top of vein • Upon blood flash go level and advance 1/8” • Slide jelco in slowly • Pressure on vein 1” distally once removed stylette • Stabilize PIV securely with tape or Stat-lock if available (preferred) • Transparent dressing

  12. Progression Skin blanched…edema<1” in any direction…cool to touch…may or may not have pain Edema 1-6” in any direction At this level or greater requires incident report Gross edema >6” in any direction…mild to moderate pain Skin tight, leaking, discolored, bruised or swollen, deep pitting edema, circulatory impairment IV Therapy Complications: Infiltration

  13. DC infusion immediately Document…notify MD Ongoing assessment of CMS and appearance Follow guidelines depending on if vesicant medication Dopamine & vasopressors most common Extravasation injuries are a sentinel event Infiltration/Extravasation: Nursing Priorities

  14. IV Therapy Complications: Phlebitis • Progression • Initially redness at site with or without pain • Pain at access site site w/redness • In addition red streak…palpable venous cord • Palpable venous cord >1” and purulent drainage At first sign of phlebitis IV must be DC’d and event documented

  15. IV Therapy Complications:Infection • Prevention • Use aseptic technique when accessing ports and upon insertion • Monitor site and integrity of dressing • Infection Present • Blood cultures from catheter and separate venous site • Monitor for sepsis

  16. Site Assessment • Assess tenderness by palpation • Redness • Moisture/leaking • Swelling distally if continous infusion • Dressing labeled • Date inserted • Size of IV jelco • Initials of nurse • If >4 days since inserted DC and restart

  17. Nursing Responsibilities • Frequent IV site assessment • Be aware of medications that irritate vein • Vigilant with meds that can cause cellular damage if infiltrate • Infiltrated? • Stop IV immediately • Elevate extremity • Warm packs • Check w/pharmacy if additional measures needed

  18. Nursing Responsibilities • Primary/secondary tubing changed per hospital policy • Q 4 days (ANW) • TPN/Lipids changed q day • Intermittent IVPB tubing changed q 24 hours • When IV dc’d assess site and make sure jelco tip intact • If Heparin used to flush central access device…assess for HIT

  19. PIV Troubleshooting • Pain • Assess site…always a red flag and IV should be DC’d unless has irritating solution infusing • Distal occlusion alarm on IV pump • AC site-extend arm • Flush site and assess for occlusion • Leakage • Make sure is not from loose attachment to jelco • ? Infiltration • Flush IV slowly w/5-10cc NS • Assess for leakage/swelling/pain

  20. Central Lines: PICC • Indications • Length of therapy • Complications • Phlebitis • Measure mid arm circimference and document • Nursing Priorities • Dressing intact • Site assessment • Note how many cm. out to hub & validate

  21. Central Lines: Implanted Port • Accessing ports • Access needle/tubing changed q 7days • Dressing changed q 7 days • Site assessment

  22. Indications Length of therapy Complications Nursing Priorities Risk of Infection Insertion Accessing device Systemic infection Remove as soon as possible Central Lines: Non-Tunneled

  23. Locations Indications Nursing priorities Site care Pressure bag CMS Complications Infection Infiltration Bleeding Arterial Lines

  24. Blood Product Administration • Minimum 22 g.(blue hub) IV-prefer 20g. (pink) or 18g. (green) • Informed consent obtained • Administer within 30” once received from Blood Bank • Blood tubing with filter-use NS to prime/flush • Validate pt., type of blood product, expiration date, blood tag # • VS before, 15” after initiation, end of each • Infuse PRBC’s over 2 hours (appx 300cc/unit) • Consider Lasix chaser if hx CHF

  25. Complications Blood Products • Circulatory Overload Acute Hemolytic Reaction • Chills, fever, flushing, tachycardia, SOB, hypotension, acute renal failure, shock, cardiac arrest, death Febrile-Nonhemolytic Reaction • Sudden onset of chills,fever, temp elevation >1 degree C. headache, anxiety Mild Allergic Reaction • Flushing, urticaria, hives

  26. Nursing Responsibilities • STOP transfusion • Maintain IV site-disconnect from IV and flush with NS • Notify blood bank/MD • Recheck ID • Monitor VS • Treat sx per MD orders • Save bag and tubing-send to blood bank

  27. Chest Tube: Nursing Priorities • Assess resp. status closely • Check water seal for bubbling • Milk NOT strip every 2 hours • Assess color-amount drainage • Call MD if >100cc/hr x2 hours first 24 hours • Sterile quaze/occlusive dressing at bedside

  28. Mechanical Ventilation • The use of an ET and POSITIVE pressure to deliver O2 at preset tidal volume • Modes • Assist Control (AC) • TV & rate preset • Additional resp. receive preset TV • Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) • Additional resp. receive own TV • Used for weaning • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) • Bi-pap • Non-mechanical • receive both insp. & exp. Pressures w/facemask

  29. Mechanical Ventilation • Terminology • Rate • Tidal volume • 10-15cc/kg • Fraction of inspired O2 concentration (FiO2) • Use lowest possible to maintain O2 sats • Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) • Minute volume • RR x TV • AC12-TV 600-50%-+5

  30. Mechanical Ventilation: Adverse Effects • Complications • Aspiration • Infection-VAP • Stress ulcer of GI tract • Tracheal damage • Ventilator dependancy • Decreased cardiac output • Positive pressure decr. venous return & CO • Barotrauma • pneumothorax

  31. Ventilator Alarm Troubleshooting High pressure Secretions-needs sx Tubing obstructed or kinked Biting ET Low pressure Disconnection of tubing Follow tubing from ET to ventilator Mechanical Ventilation:Nursing Priorities
