A home care patient with kyphoscoliosis requires intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) treatments twice per day with O2.
 
  A local charitable organization has given the family a pneumatically powered IPPB device for this purpose. Which of the following gas sources would you recommend to drive this device?
  1. Liquid O2 reservoir
  2. O2 concentrator
  3. Compressed gas cylinder
  a. 1 and 2 only
  b. 2 and 3 only
  c. 3 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Question 2

When visiting a home care patient receiving nasal O2 at 2 L/min through an O2 concentrator, you measure the FiO2 of the outlet gas as 0.63. Which of the following best explains this finding?
 
  a. This FiO2 is normal at this flow.
  b. The sieve pellets are exhausted.
  c. The gas inlet filter must be clogged.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because both concentrators and personal liquid O2 systems operate at low pressures, they cannot be used to drive equipment needing 50 psi, such as pneumatically powered ventilators and large-volume jet nebulizers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If the concentration is less than the manufacturer's specification at the given flow, the pellet can-isters are probably exhausted and should be replaced.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
