OXYGEN THERAPY

I - DEFINITION :
This is a technique that consists in supplying the body greater than the area ambiant.Elle is particularly useful in the treatment of hypoxic conditions resulting from a decrease in O2 concentration in the blood . The purpose of the process is xygénothérapie hypoxia while reducing the work of the respiratory system and the myocardial stress .
All transport of oxygen to tissues depends on several factors :
- From cardiac output
- The amount of O2 pressure
- The concentration of hemoglobin
- The need for metabolism

II - INDICATIONS:
   A / Lack of saturation of hemoglobin O2

- Drop the pressure of O2 in ambient air
- Airway obstruction eg oviposition or foreign body
- Impairment of respiratory muscle reached by the nerve centers or paralysis eg tetanus
- Any bronchopulmonary disease resulting in insufficient ventilation eg asthma
- Emphysema
   B / Insufficient hemoglobin necessary for the transport of O2:

- Hypoxemia anemic eg anemia
- In case of massive hemorrhage
- In case of CO2 poisoning
   C / Traffic slowed causing a poor transport of O2 in the blood :

- Heart Failure
- Shock and collapse
III - AGAINST - INDICATIONS:
Are not formal , however the O2 should be used with extreme caution in older chronic respiratory insufficiency , in PA and in NNE

IV - SOURCE O2:
The O2 can be provided by:

A / Obus O2 pressure or O2 cylinder :
Distribution is provided by a suitable pressure regulator on each shell to reduce the pressure
A meter indicating the number of liters / min
Precautions are necessary for the use of the shell :
- Never lubricate the valves and fittings regulators as the combination of a fat + O2 yields a mixture deteriorating
- Remove the shells of excessive heat as the temperature may rise dangerously high pressure shell
- Remove the shells with great caution
- Do not smoke near
B / receivable in wall socket :
  Allows to control the number of liters per min



V - FORMS OF GOVERNMENT :
The O2 is distributed by different devices, all have the same principles:
- The flow rate is 6 to 8 l / min in adults and three to 6L/min except complications in children
- The O2 must be humidified by passing it through a bubbler bottle filled ¾ of the distilled
• The nasopharyngeal probes : Irritating and risk of infection
• The tents O2 generates an atmosphere containing 50-60 % O2 ¼ hours after commissioning
                                   marche.Certaines people feel claustrophobic anxiety tent .
• Incubators : Can be used in children and have the same principles as tents adults
• Eyeglasses O2
• O2 masks : it is necessary to connect and adjust the speed before adjusting the mask on
                                        sick

 VI - PREPARATION OF MATERIALS :
- To administer : glasses, among other probe

Prescribed at the start rate may change depending on the monitor and the patient's condition

D - Monitoring source :
- Ensure that no pipe is bent or disconnected
- Check the stability of the flowmeter
- IT must frequently check the pressure in a cylinder O
VIII - PRECAUTIONS :

- An O2 excess can have :
       ex a toxic effect on the lungs and the CNS : O2 intoxication in artificial ventilation
       attenuation of respiratory stimulation with low respiration eg IRC - emphysema
       chronic obstructive bronchitis
should always monitor : the state of consciousness , facial color , change in BP , PULSE and FR
- The O2 is a combustible material there tjs fire risk
- The equipment O2peut be a source of bacterial cross infection
- The breathing circuits are changed daily and sterilized

IX - ACCIDENTS :

• O2 pressure ( dosing error )
• O2 unhumidified
• OAP
• Blindness
• Apnoea in chronic respiratory insufficient
• Bloating of the stomach when introduced probes deeply

The O2 is a very effective treatment side must be used with caution

TRACHEOTOMY OR tracheostomy

I - DEFINITION :

The tracheostomy is a surgical procedure which involves making a surgical opening on the front side of the trachea to establish an endotracheal tube without modification of the anatomical structures . Tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent . Breathing is through the tracheal opening but also the airway. The orifice without cannula may quit quickly.

II - OBJECTIVES :

- Maintain the freedom of the airways.
- Ensure adequate gas exchange .
- Extract effectively bronchial secretions .
- Assist patients who can not tolerate intubation .
- Allow the patient to gain greater autonomy.

III - INDICATIONS:

- Breach of the respiratory centers without paralysis of swallowing ( mennigé state).
- Paralysis of swallowing (poliomyelitis) .
- In case of temporary or permanent laryngeal disorders ( obstructive tumor benign or malignant ) .
- Trauma of the larynx.
- Diphtheria .
- Brain tumors leading to impairment of the respiratory centers .
- Tetanus .

- Tape or tape.
- A pair of sterile scissors .
- Local anesthetics .
- Tracheal suction equipment .
- Bean .
- Bag disposal.

V - TECHNICAL :

The surgeon makes a horizontal incision in the patient's right under the first cartilaginous rings , the tracheal cannula with a curved mandrel or plug is inserted into this opening
After inserting the shutter is immediately removed so that the patient can breathe. The tracheal cannula is inserted and then is internally latched . Tracheal cannula was held in place by a cord gas tied around the neck of the patient.
VI - NURSING ROLE AND MONITORING POST -OPERATIVE :
- Humidification of the air we breathe :
* This is necessary because the natural humidification is removed by tracheotomy , we risk
    thus increasing the concentration of bronchial secretions and therefore result in an obstruction.
      * It can be achieved either by saturating the air with humidity by spraying or serum
          physiological by the tracheostomy tube .
 
- Aspiration of bronchial secretions :
* For this there must be a vacuum in working condition and sterile probes to soft side ports
    béquillées slightly .
      * Depression used for vacuuming should be moderate .
      * Starting after insertion of the probe into the trachea probe should never be pinched
          when suction is on.
      * The frequency of aspirations vary with the condition of the bulk of the disease but it will know that
          it not a trivial gesture.

- Change of dressing and cannula :
* If the patient is conscious, prevention care and explain the course .
* Perform a simple hand washing.
* Gather materials .
* Put on disposable gloves to avoid contact with secretions and put on a mask to avoid
   risk projection secretions.
* Remove the pads and discard.
* Clean the area around the opening of the tracheostomy with sterile gauze soaked in antiseptic
   sliding the pad under the flange of the cannula .
* Clean the flange of the cannula .
* Firmly grasp the cannula and cut the cord and discard soiled .
* Change the cord and insert the precut under the collar compresses to absorb
   flow and prevent infection.
* Remove the sterile gloves.
* Make an antiseptic wash.

- Other treatments:
* A patient can eat tracheotomy if no swallowing disorders if this is the case it is
   pose a gastric tube .
* The caregiver must not forget that the patient is aphonique and thus provide him what to write.
Monitoring will depend in part the cause of tracheotomy :
      * A temperature curve of pulse and respiration TA .
      * Observation facies and the patient's condition , cyanosis , agitation being signs of respiratory problems
      * Radiation monitoring (chest clichet ) , biological ( blood gas ) ( electrolytes ) .

VII - ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS :
- Sudden Death in the very rare introduction may occur especially during aspirations in tetanus .
- Trigger cough reflex during the insertion of the cannula : remove the cannula and ask the patient to
   to qq . of inspiratory and expiratory movements.
- Accidental decannulation due to inadequate fixation.
- Stenosis of the trachea and vocal cord paralysis ( nerve damage reccurents ) .
- Bronchial irritation and exacerbation of the hole due to tracheal aspiration of secretions and
   inadequate care .

VIII - Conclusion :
Tracheotomy is almost always benign early intervention that could save bcp . life , it is still necessary that the post-op care and monitoring. is level so as not to lose the patient the benefit of the tracheotomy. J - R
AROUND THE VENOUS

I - GENERAL :

Venous approaches rely on a complex system of channels , arteries, capillaries and heart . Veins drained blood to the heart . There are 2 types of veins
- Receptive veins which plays a passive role in the return circulation .
- Propelling veins which circulates back managed by gravity.

II - GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS :

 The patient should be informed of the technique he will undergo .
 Ensure comfort to gain his cooperation.
 The operator must comply with hygiene by washing hands , skill and knowledge.

III - ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

- ADVANTAGES: - implemented in a vessel of large caliber and therefore a larger and faster throughput
                                 for a faster effect of drugs .
                              - Allow the measurement of PVC.

- DISADVANTAGES: - risk of injury and bleeding arteries and adjacent veins.
                                       - Risk of perforation.

IV - MONITORING AND TECHNICAL :
( See courses in medicine SI )

V - CONCLUSION :

Take a venous access is an important technique that should be taken into consideration so it will avoid incidents and accidents that may occur to avoid complications .
