Respirtoy Therapy

Create a PowerPoint On how you would manage a patient on an mechanical ventilator: * Include initial patient assessment * Include ICU monitor assessment – what we look for * Include what assessment is done in the ventilator. * Assess the ventilator for leaks – describe the graphics, types of alarms, and how is fixed. Explain potential sites for leaks * What assessment is done and how is fixed when the high-pressure alarm is on * How synchrony is achieved in the ventilator – nonpharmacological interventions and pharmacological interventions * How auto-PEEP is fixed and what type of graphic is commonly seen. Explain: * the differences between both procedures: In line suctioning and nasotracheal suctioning * In which way is the airway (ETT) suctioned ( open suction system and closed suction system). Explain both methods and the advantages.
