Respiratory Medicine — Flashcards

What are the different types of oxygen therapy? _____ - 24-44% FiO2 Simple face mask - 40-60% FiO2 Venturi mask - 24-60% FiO2 Non-Rebreather mask - 60-95% FiO2

_____ is the most extreme respiratory support only used VERY RARELY when intubation with ventilation is not adequate

What investigation is most useful for monitoring respiratory failure? _____

Both type 1 & 2 respiratory failure are managed with _____ and by treating the underlying cause

Oxygen therapy in type 2 respiratory failure should be started at a _____ FiO2 as they may be insensitive to CO2 and respiration could be driven by hypoxia

Hint: Higher/Lower

What are the different types of respiratory pressure support (least → most invasive)? _____ CPAP NIV (BiPAP) Mechanical ventilation

_____ provides a constant pressure to keep the airways expanded

_____ helps to prevent airway collapse, improves ventilation and reduces atelectasis in patients who require respiratory support

Mechanical ventilation is only used when other respiratory support is inadequate. Patients _____ require sedation

Hint: do/don't

_____ provides a higher pressure during inspiration AND a lower pressure during expiration

Hint: Type of pressure support
