•Incomplete or poorly done homework results in Study support (R212) This afternoon at 3:40pm
Aims from specification(h) describe the use of a spirometer and peak flow meter to measure tidal volume, vital capacity, forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR);
(i)analyse and interpret data from a spirometer;
(j) describe the possible causes of respiratory arrest;
(k) explain how expired air resuscitation should be carried out on adults, children and babies in order to maintain blood oxygen concentration.
(h) describe the use of a spirometer and peak flow meter to measure tidal
volume, vital capacity, forced expiratory volume per second (FEV1) and peak
expiratory flow rate (PEFR);
Spirometer trace: Tidal Volume
• Why does the trace gradually decrease?
• Think about the CO2 absorber (soda lime)
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) • The peak expiratory flow
rate (PEFR) is a person's maximum speed of expiration, as measured with a peak flow meter.
• A small, hand-held device used to monitor a person's ability to breathe out air.
• It measures the airflow through the bronchi and thus the degree of obstruction in the airways.
(j) describe the possible causes of respiratory arrest;
• What is respiratory arrest?• http://www.today.com/video/today/5595350
2#55953502• Use page 54 to write causes of respiratory
arrest.
(k) explain how expired air resuscitation should be carried out on adults, children and babies in order to maintain blood oxygen concentration.
Read the procedure for respired air resuscitation on page 54 &55
Complete the following table to compare respired air resuscitation for an adult, child, infant.
Feature of Respired Air Resuscitation
Adult Child Infant
Body position On back
Head position Slight tilt
Rescue breaths YES
Breathing rate Every 5 seconds
