Hi my moms oxygen level is 30 o2? |
and her respirations are 30 and her pulse is 130. Her pulse ox reads 98 percent. She is on a trach ventilater due to having sepsis and ards. She also has Marsa, Can someone tell me how all this looks? also when will she get out of the hospital? also how long do you keep MARSA? 10 point for helping me out. thanks 30% oxygen is very low considering room air is 21%, so that is good. Her oxygen saturation is good too, normal is 92%-100%. Her respiratory rate is a little high, normal is 8-20, with 12 being ideal. Pulse is also high, normal is 60-90. I think you meant MRSA, which is a staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics. ARDS(Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome) is a serious condition that makes the lungs very stiff and hard to inflate. It sounds to me like your mom is very sick. Be patient and don't try to rush taking her off the ventilator. There is much more information that goes into weaning someone off the vent. Her minute ventilation should be less than 10 liters, and with her respiratory rate being that high, I would imagine that her minute ventilation is high also. She should also have an RSBI (rapid shallow breathing index) done. This is done by dividing her spontaneous respirations, by her spontaneous tidal volume. This is done by taking her off the vent and counting respirations and measuring her tidal volumes for 1 minute. You can get her tidal volume by dividing her minute volume by her respiratory rate. Her RSBI should be less than 100. I know this may be somewhat confusing and hard to understand, so ask your mother's respiratory therapist to explain it to you, that's what they're there for. They are the one's who monitor the ventilators and all the parameters that have to do with ventilators. Most importantly as I said before, be patient and allow your mom time to get well. I must add this.....It would be very hard for me to take the advice of someone who claimed to be a NURSE, but could not even spell!! Here is a website on MRSA. Good luck! Her pulse ux is good. Resperations and pulse are elevated. Generallty resrerations are around 18 and pulse about 72-80. As for getting off the vent a person uaually gets weaned off and it verys from patient to patient. I think you meant mersa which is generally a hospital aquired infection. Make sure all personell and visitors properly wash their hands before and after any treatments. Antibiotics should take care of the mersa. Good luck and God bless The level of oxygen in closing the lungs is what the challenge is. 30 o2? I do not know what you mean. On O2 and ventilator her O2 of 98% is fine, if she can maintain it off O2, when her sepsis goes away. I have no idea of what marsa is and neither do my medical associates. |
