Assessment of Respiratory Function (Online Lecture) Flashcards
changes in respiratory status are increasingly recognized as one of he most sensitive indicators of
clinical deterioration
bleeding does what to respirations
increase
upper respiratory
warm and filter
lower respiratory
accomplishes gas exchange
4 steps of respiration
ventilation
oxygen diffusion
transportation
tissue extraction
ventilation
movement of air in and out of lungs
oxygen diffusion
diffusion of O2 and CO2 across alveolar membranes
transportation
need hemoglobin and cardiac output
tissue extraction
tissues have to be able to pull O2 out of blood stream to use it
respiration
the gas exchange between atmospheric air and blood between the blood and the cells of the body
ventilation
what is needed (your air pump)
diagprahm
ABG
hypo and hyper ventilaion
hypo: Co2 down
hyper: Co2 Up
increase airway resistance
more difficult to ventilate
decrease compliance
do not expand/expell
examples of diseases of ventilation issues
COPD, asthma, allergic reaction, edema
pulmonary artery is a low or high pressure system
low
diffusion
exchange of O2 and CO2 at the alveolar-capillary membrane
high ventilation perfusion ratio
dead space
no blood flow
perfusion issue
ex: PE
low ventilation perfusion ratio
shunt
ventilation issue
increase CO2 decrease PaO2
EX; collapsed alveloli
oxygen therapy is used to support
diffusion
changes in respiratory rate/pattern
biggest indicator for oxygen
what are some other manifestations for oxygen
mental status, confusion, agitation, anxiety lethargy, disorientation, comatose, dyspnea, BP changes, HR changes
late stages for oxygen
central cyanosis: lips are blue
example of acute hypoxic
alcohol intoxication
examples of chronic hypoxia
fatigue, lethargy, drowsiness, delayed reaction time
what should we monitor with oxygen
signs of hypoxia (should be improving)
ABG
pulse ox
what drives our decision for o2 amount
always want to use least amount of O2 necessary to support that patient
venturi mask
most reliable and accurate method for delivering precise concentrations of oxygen through non invasive means
