Hyperventilation syndrome - Correct answer usually severe agitiation, anxiety or fright, hyperventilation, progressive signs and symptoms of alkalosis, (light headedness dizziness, numbness, feeling of tightness,

muscle twitching, carpal-pedal spasms, tetany, seizures, loss of consciousness peripheral circulation - Correct answer blood outside the central circulation, blood supply for the extremities, consist of veins and arteries

• Central circulation - Correct answer blood in the heart and in the pulmonary circulation Epiglottitis - Correct answer A disease in which the epiglottis becomes inflamed and enlarged and may cause an upper airway obstruction. Croup (laryngotracheobronchitis) - Correct answer a viral infection that causes swelling of the larynx and epiglottis; a barking noise is characteristic when do you perform rescue breathing? - Correct answer When a person collapses and stops breathing Ventilation (adult) - Correct answer 10 ventilations per minute, 6-8 ml in mechanical ventilation Ventilation rate of Pediatric Patients - Correct answer 20-30 breaths per minute ventilation rate of an infant - Correct answer 1 breath every 6-8 seconds Normal respiratory rate (adult) - Correct answer 12-16 breaths per minute Normal respiratory rate (pediatrics) - Correct answer 20-30 breaths per minute Normal respiratory rate (infant) - Correct answer 20-30 breaths per minute Breathing assessment - Correct answer respiration rate rhythm, regular or irregular quality/character of breathing depth of breathing quality of breathing - Correct answer regular, irregular, labored, gasping, wheezing

Techniques to Open the Airway - Correct answer Head tilt/chin lift, jaw thrust maneuver Head tilt chin lift - Correct answer Relieves airway obstruction in an unresponsive victim jaw-thrust maneuver - Correct answer A technique used to open the airway of a trauma patient with possible neck or spine injury FBAO management: child - Correct answer Abdominal thrusts (Heimlich) until object expelled or child unconscious FBAO management: Adult - Correct answer Stand behind patient put both arms around the upper abdomen and clench one fist Grasp it with the other hand and pull sharply inward and upwards alternate between 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts FBAO on Responsive Infant - Correct answer DO NOT PERFORM HEIMLICH ON INFANTS UNDER ONE YEAR OF AGE.

4. Firmly give five chest thrusts on infant's sternum, between nipple line.
5. Repeat steps until object is removed or infant goes unconscious. What to do if dentures are loose - Correct answer remove the dentures Proper ventilator technique for two person rescue and BVM - Correct answer one rescuer can deliver the recommended tidal volume by squeezing the bag while the second rescuer can use both hands to provide an effective mask seal on the patient's face. Assisted ventilation - Correct answer mechanical means are used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing Appropriate oxygen delivery devices - Correct answer Bag valve mask, non rebreather, nasal cannula, CPAP, BiPAP

Bag valve mask - Correct answer 100% oxygen, 1.5 liters of oxygen per breath if SpO2 is less than 94% - Correct answer poor gas exchange (hypoxia), give supplementary oxygen Carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange at the alveolar level - Correct answer Inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli. Oxygen enters the body to get to the lungs - Correct answer Oxygen enters the lungs through inhalation (air is moistened through the nares) then passes through the alveoli into the blood active inhalation - Correct answer muscular process through which lung- thorax unit is dilated Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract phrenic nerve - Correct answer innervates the diaphragm Dyspnea - Correct answer difficult or labored breathing apnea - Correct answer temporary cessation of breathing See Saw Respirations - Correct answer chest and abdominal muscles alternately contract larygnectomy - Correct answer excision of the larynx tracheostomy - Correct answer creation of an artificial opening into the trachea Beta 1 receptors - Correct answer - (1) Heart, kidneys -Increase BP and HR, increase renin secretions (reabsorbs water and decreases BP) -Drugs: Isoprotekenol.
