FUNDA LAB (OXYGENATION)

• is a basic human need. Breathing is synonymous with life. Respiratory system replenishes body’s Oxygen supply and eliminates waste from the blood in the form of Carbon Dioxide.

  Oxygenation
• Purpose of oxygenation:

  To relieve dyspnea.

  To reduce or prevent hypoxemia (low level of O2 in blood) and hypoxia (low level of O2 in

  cells).

  To alleviate associated with struggle to breathe.
• Sources of Therapeutic oxygen:

  Wall Outlets(Central supply)

  Oxygen cylinders
• Bronchial Hygiene Measures(Steam Inhalation) Purpose:

  To liquefy mucous secretions.

  To warm and humidify inspired air.

  To relieve edema of airways.

  To administer medications.
• Steam Inhalation Types:

  Aerosol Inhalation

  Medimist Inhalation
• Done among pediatric clients to administer bronchodilators or mucolytic – expectorants.

  Aerosol Inhalation
• Done among adult clients to administer bronchodilators or mucolytic – expectorants.

  Medimist Inhalation
• A technique for removing the liquid secretions with a catheter using a negative (vacuum)pressure. The amount of negative pressure varies depending on the patient and the type of suction equipment. The airway is suctioned from the nose to the mouth.

  Suctioning
• Purpose of Suctioning:

  To remove secretions obstructing the airways.

  To facilitate respiration.

  To obtain a specimen for diagnostic purpose.

  To remove accumulated secretions that can cause infection.

  To stimulate coughing and deep breathing.
• Types of Suctioning

  Nasopharyngeal Suctioning

  Oropharyngeal Suctioning

  Oral Suctioning

  Tracheostomy Suctioning
• Removal secretions from the throat through a nasally inserted catheter.

  Nasopharyngeal Suctioning
• Removal secretions from the throat through an orally inserted

  catheter.

  Oropharyngeal Suctioning
• Removal of secretions from the mouth. It is performed with a suctioning

  device called Yankeur-tip or tonsil-tip catheter.

  Oral Suctioning
• Similar to nasotracheal suctioning except that the catheter is

  inserted through the tracheostomy tube rather than the nose. The catheter is inserted approximately 4-5 inches (10-12.5 cm) or until resistance is felt.

  Tracheostomy Suctioning
• Appropriate-sized catheter:

  infants- Fr.5 to 8

  children, FR. 8 to 10

  adults, 12 to 18 Fr
• is a flexible plastic tube that is placed through the mouth into the trachea (windpipe) to help a

  patient breathe. The endotracheal tube is then connected to a ventilator, which delivers oxygen to

  the lungs. The process of inserting the tube is called endotracheal intubation.


  Endotracheal tube
• Purpose of laryngoscope:

  1. when a patient is unable to breathe on her own
  2. For general surgery
  3. To remove a foreign body
  4. To protect the airway against aspiration
  5. To visualize the airway
  6. After lung cancer surgery
  7. To support breathing
