A patient who is intubated cannot eat because of the tube in their throat. A feeding tube in the nose, mouth or stomach allows the doctors to pump food into the patient's stomach.
noone really knows because the sedation produces amnesia the intubated patient could go through hell but they wont remember it not very comforting
After a person has been intubated, chest compressions are no longer interrupted to do ventilations. Instead, chest compressions are done continuously, and ventilations are done simultaneously at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This is because now that the patient is intubated, (assuming placement of the tube has been confirmed) the airway is open, so the rescuers no longer have to stop compressions to open the airway and check for chest rise.
Because emphysema reduce the oxygen perfusion (transfer) from alveoli into the blood thus also reduce the oxygen supply to the muscle and organ. Reduce the oxygen delivery to the periphery cause weight loss and thus they (emphysema patient) look thin.
No. While under anesthesia, you ( the patient) are intubated ( which means there is a tube down your throat to facilitate breathing for the unconscious patient ), and any saliva produced is suctioned away to prevent complications when the patient is being extubated.
In the early stages of emphysema, you can control it with medication, but eventually the patient requires oxygen rather than medication.
When I entered the operating room, the patient was already in supination and ready to be intubated.
Decreased Oxygen, increased CO2, Acidosis
cannot use nitrous oxide
Each patient should first talk to his/her doctor about exercise. However, generally speaking, it is good for MOST patients to have some exercise, as tolerated. Emphysema can make it harder to breathe. A patient may need to go slowly, and use safety rails on stairs.
yeah
Emphysema is a condition in which tiny air sacs in the lungs build up with air. As these sacs grow, they may break. People with emphysema usually become very short of breath. Depending on the condition of the patient's emphysema, it may be treated with medicine, vaccines, oxygen therapy, surgery, lung transplant, protein therapy, or pulmonary rehabilitation. Only a doctor can properly decide what the patient needs for treatment.
