"Intubate and provide assisted ventilation with PEEP" emergency treatment would be appropriate.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) preserves the airway pressure of the patient beyond the atmospheric level by exerting pressure which inhibits passive emptying of the lung. It serves as the positive pressure that will persist in the airways at the end of the respiratory process i.e end of exhalation, which in manually ventilated patients is higher than the ambient pressure. While intubation serves to insert a flexible plastic tube into the trachea to retain an open airway or to function as a conduit through which other medications may be administered.
Answer:
141.98 ml/day
Explanation:
The data given by the exercise is as follows:
Weight of child = 45 lbs
Dose of medication = 0.02 g / lbs four times a day
Bottle concentration = 125 mg / tbs
The question asks for the total amount of medication the child has to receive in ml per day.
One should know the conversion of tbs to ml (1 tbs = 4.93 ml approx.)
Total medication in grams this child should receive per day:
0.02 g/lbs x 45 lbs x 4 times a day = 3.6g a day = 3600 mg a day (always check which units are the most convenient)
Since 1 tsp of the medication contains 125mg:
3600 mg / 125 mg/tsp = 28.8 tsp a day
Finally, since each tsp contains approx. 4.93 ml:
28.8 tsp x 4.93 ml/tsp = 141.98 ml a day = 141.98 ml/day
