Study Notes
β2 Agonists and Treatment Protocols
- High doses of β2 agonists are administered via inhalation for effective bronchodilation.
- Ipratropium bromide, an anticholinergic medication, is added through inhalation to enhance β2 agonist effects.
- Hydrocortisone is given intravenously at a dosage of 200 mg every 6 hours to reduce inflammation.
- Consider administering a single dose of intravenous magnesium sulfate (1.2-2 g) over 20 minutes for patients unresponsive to initial inhaled bronchodilator therapy.
- Correction of acidosis and dehydration should be managed with intravenous fluids.
Oxygen Therapy and Blood Gas Interpretation
- Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are crucial for assessing oxygenation status and acid-base balance.
- Normal pH range is from 7.34 to 7.44; deviations indicate acidosis or alkalosis:
- Acidosis results in decreased O2 binding to hemoglobin, causing tissue hypoxia.
- Alkalosis increases O2 binding to hemoglobin.
- Normal arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) ranges from 94% to 100%:
- At open air, SaO2 should be above 94%.
- Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) must exceed 80 mm Hg (or 10.6 kPa) for adequate oxygenation.
