How do you increase pao2 with mechanical ventilation?
In manual ventilation you can increase the PaO2 by hyperventilating the patient, by increasing the respiratory rate and/or by increasing the volume of air that you deliver to the patient. If using a BVM for example, compressing the bag faster and/or harder will increase the arterial oxygen pressure, but there is a limit to what you can do with manual ventilation. Perfusion in the lungs has a major impact on PaO2. Also, the blood chenistry (anemia or CO2 poisoning) for example will dramatically decrease the PaO2. Sometimes no matter how much you hyperventilate the person, low PaO2 can't be corrected.
Which arterial bleed is worse or harder to control femoral radial brachial or popliteal?
The largest one - femoral, but it all depends on the wound, other injuries, blood pressure, position of the patient....
What is the full form of MABF?
MABF stands for Mean Arterial Blood Flow. It is a measure of the average pressure in a patient's arteries during a single cardiac cycle. Mean arterial blood flow is calculated by adding one-third of the systolic blood pressure to two-thirds of the diastolic blood pressure. It is an important parameter in assessing cardiovascular function and tissue perfusion.
A patient lying horizontally on his belly is in what position?
The patient is in the prone position.
What procedure does a lung perfusion scan involve?
a small amount of the protein labeled with a radioisotope is injected into the patient's hand or arm vein. The patient is positioned under a special camera that can detect radioactive material
How will you manage a patient whose arterial pH is 7.6?
A patient who has an arterial pH of 7.6 should be watched carefully. The cut off for normal levels is 7.45, so their blood is more basic than alkaline. If it rises anymore, they may need more intense medical treatment.
Why positioning patient to FOWLER'S?
Why position the patient in Fowler
What are the benefits of placing a patient in the lateral decubitus position with the left side down?
Placing a patient in the lateral decubitus position with the left side down can improve lung function, increase blood flow to the heart, and reduce the risk of aspiration during surgery or medical procedures.
How do you position patients for panorex?

A patient lying horizontally on his belly is in the?
The medical term for a patient lying on his belly is the prone position. The opposite of the prone position is supine, or the patient lying flat on his back.
Why in lobectomy HOB 30 degrees?
Raising the head of the bed to 30 degrees after a lobectomy helps improve lung expansion and ventilation-perfusion matching, reducing the risk of postoperative complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia. This position also helps with drainage of pleural fluid and may enhance the patient's comfort and recovery.
What position is when the patient is positioned prone and the x ray comes into the patient from the right side and exits to the left?
Ventral decubitus position
