What else can I help you with?
Who reveices venturi mask?
COPD patient
What is the primary respiratory drive for a patient with COPD?
Hypoxic drive.
What is the normal pulse for a COPD patient?
intermittent temperature according to the condition
Why copd patient cannot apply oxygen more than 4 liter per minute?
because elasticity of alveoli is diminished in patient with COPD therefore administering more than 4liters/minute will collapse alveoli and patient may die.
Can Dilaudid make you sick after kidney stone?
Dilaudid and other opioids often make patients sick regardless of the reason they are given. This is why they are usually given in conjunction with an anti-nausea preparation.
What is the goal O2 sat for end stage COPD patient?
88 to 93 o2
How should a patient with COPD be positioned?
sitting upright at least 45 degree ange
What would be the best rate of O2 for a patient with COPD?
2 liters per minute
Is COPD is a disease that is a combination of lung cancer and bronchitis?
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Why given low oxygen to a COPD patient?
Low oxygen is given to COPD patients primarily to prevent complications associated with hypercapnia, where excess carbon dioxide builds up in the blood. Supplemental oxygen helps alleviate hypoxemia, improving oxygenation without suppressing the patient's respiratory drive. Careful monitoring is essential, as too much oxygen can lead to respiratory depression in these patients. Adjustments are typically made based on blood gas measurements to ensure optimal oxygen levels.
Can someone with COPD be given an influenza vaccination?
Yes. Having Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is not a contraindication to receiving an influenza vaccination.
Why would a COPD patient have a higher percentage of red blood cells than a healthy person without COPD?
That is the good question and you probably know the answer. In case of the COPD patient you have less perfusion of the oxygen. The red blood cell production is stimulated by the low concentration of the oxygen.
