On scene, you are by the side of a 3-week-old male who was born prematurely and has an apnea monitor on. His mother states that she was awakened by the alarm and when she went to check on the baby, he was awake and crying. Assessment reveals him to be resting quietly in his mother's arms. The airway is patent and respirations adequate. Vital signs are pulse 136, respirations 28, and SpO2 99% on
room air. Since the local emergency department is busy and overcrowded, it would be appropriate to: A) watch the baby for 15 additional minutes and get a refusal if he remains stable. B) provide high-concentration oxygen and immediate transport to the hospital. C) recognize a monitor malfunction and help make arrangements for a new one. D) further assess the baby and treat any problems found prior to transport.
Cuffed ET tubes are generally not used in the field until the child is 8 to 10 years old because:
A) the cuff would apply pressure and obstruct the airway. B) the high-pressure cuff would likely rupture the trachea. C) most children are only intubated for short periods of time. D) a cuff at the cricoid ring is not necessary to obtain a seal.
On arrival at the intensive care unit, a critically ill client suffers respiratory arrest and is placed on mechanical ventilation. The physician orders pulse oximetry to monitor the client's arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) noninvasively. Which vital sign abnormality may alter pulse oximetry values?
a) Fever b) Tachypnea c) Tachycardia d) Hypotension
