Indications for manual ventilation:
List the complications associated with manual ventilation
Monitoring tools
H cylinder Tank calculation. PSIG: 4000 and 15 L/min (tank psig x tank size) / flow
4000x3.14 / 15 = 837 min 837/60= 14 hours
E cylinder Tank calculation. PSIG: 2500 and 14 L/min (tank psig x tank size) / flow
2500x.28 / 14 = 50 min
Equipment needed for manual ventilation
Adjustable Flow Restrictor Controls flow of O2 by using a series of calibrated ports and delivers a set flow at a designated pressure. Designed for 50 PSI equipment sources or liquid portable oxygen.
Complication: Hyperventilation may cause respiratory alkalosis, cardiac dysrhythmias, and hypotension.
Complication: Loss of PEEP/CPAP may result in hypoxemia or shock.
Complication: Position Changes may result in hypotension, hypercarbia, and hypoxemia.
Complication: Tachycardia and other dysrhythmias has been associated with transport
Complication: Equipment Failure can result in inaccurate data or loss of monitoring capabilities.
Complication: Inadvertent disconnection of intravenous access for pharmacologic agents may result in
hemodynamic instability.
Complication: Movement (3)
Complication: loss of O2 supply may lead to hypoxemia
