Cardiopulmonary Part Nine Flashcards
forced vital capacity
amount of air that is under volitional control
what are rhonci
continous low-pitched, sonorous breath sounds
forced vital capacity formula
FVC = IRV + TV + ERV
frothy sputum indicates
pulmonary edema
tidal volume
the amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled during normal resting breathing
how deep should chest compressions be for CPR
at least 2 inches
how would a capillary bleed be described
low pressure
oozing
dark red blood
hyperventilation leads to respiratory…
alkalosis
what is mucoid sputum indicative of
cystic fibrosis or conditions with chronic cough
what is deconditioning
decrease in aerobic fitness, VC, muscle strength, ROM
as a result of prolonged bed rest or inactivity
when are rhonchi heard
expiration
examples of anticoagulants
coumadin and heparin
side effects corticosteroids
osteoporosis
muscle wasting
slow wound healing
bronchodilator MOI
relax smooth muscle and open airway lumen to assist in breathing
examples of bronchodilators
epinephrine
aluprent
ventolin
proventil
atelectasis
shrunken and airless state of part of the lung
what are rales (auscultation)
crackles - extra breath sounds associated with pathology
percussion sounds with atelectasis
dull/flat percussion
residual volume
volume of air remaining in the lungs following a full or maximal expiration
forced expiratory volume
the volume of air that can be forcefully expelled in 1 second following a full inspiration
