Q

secondary apnea is when

breathing stops and will not begin unless RESUSCITATIVE measures are immediately instituted (any limitation in oxygen will cause this to occur).

Reflex apnea is when

A

something irritating and provoking like vapor or gases is inhaled there is INVOLUNTARY or temporary halt in respiration.

25
Q

A periodic apnea in the newborn is

A

normal finding and usually associated with rapid eye movement sleep. Pause is 10-15 seconds

(if prolonged and accompanied by cyanosis not normal)

26
Q

Q

Palpation of crepitus can be found with

Pleural friction rub is caused by… feels like

A

rupture in respiratory system or by infection organism that produces gas (can mimic allergic reaction because it can go to the face/arms the swelling)

inflammation of pleural surfaces , coarse grating vibration .

31
Q

thoracic expansion is observed by placing thumbs at the level of the

A

10th rib

32
Q

Tactile fremitus is when you

If decreased or absent means

increased if:

A

palpate for vibration during verbalizations such as “99” or “Micky mouse”

excess air in lungs (emphysema, pleural thickening or effusion, or bronchial obstruction).

(coarser or rougher) in presence of fluids or solid mass within the lungs and heavy but non-obstructive bronchial secretions or compressed lung.

33
Q

gentle tremulous fremitus

A

infections cause or inflammation some lung consolidations

34

hyperinflation, emphysema, pneumothorax, asthma.

pleural effusion, pneumonia, atelectasis asthma

36
Q

diaphragm of the stethoscope used for

41
Q

wheezing can be heard during

If bilaterally

unilaterally

A
