Answer 1

1. 3 Important aspects of the care of the patient on Mechanical Ventilator.

• Checking Oxygen saturation levels
• Monitoring arterial blood gas analysis
• Maintain ventilator settings
• Check the vital signs

2. List and explain 3 reasons for non invasive positive pressure ventilation.

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : In COPD sufficient amount of oxygen levels were not able to reach the lungs and Non invasive methods such as Bipap or CPAP supplies oxygen.
• Acute Respiratory Failure : Respiratory Failure leads to death and this can be avoided with non invasive mechanical ventilation.
• Congestive Heart Failure: Bipap helps in fewer complications when complications when compared to enfotracheal intubation.Patient becomes hemodynamically stable.

3. 5 items of incubation tray and their uses.

Items	Indications or
Endotracheal tube	Intubate the tube according to the age and size of the person
Stylet	provides rigidity and shape to the ET tube to insert freely.
Syringes	Used in intubation to fill the cuffs with air.
Face Mask	Used to give oxygen
Laryngoscope	Used to visualize and aids in intubation

4. Measuring of Nasotracheal airway and indications : Can be measured from pinna of the ear to the tip of the nose and then to the diaphragm.

2 Indications : For the correct placement of the tube

Avoid dislodging of the tube from the airway.

5. Oral airway can be measured from the corner of the mouth to the ear lobe.

6. Oxygen equipment used : Nasal cannula, Nasal masks,Ambu bags etc.

7. 4 litres / min for 2 to 3 hrs.

8. 24 to 44 % of oxygen can be delivered through intubation

9.Respiratory indications for intubation : Ventilation failure, Avoidance of aspiration, to provide sufficient oxygen for lungs.
