COPD Flashcards
what is the common cause of COPD
- smoking
- genetics
increased Co2- decreased O2= triggered ventilation
what is the therapeutic O2 sat of the COPD px
89-92%
what is the most accurate and precise respiratory mask
1-2L/min
alveolar fibrosis/ damage. “PINK PUFFERS” rosy flushed red, struggling to breath. alveoli is thick and poor gas exchange. and has a thin build
emphysema
+ barrel chest
poor saturated RBC=Pink
chronic hypoxia= increased RBC
inflammation of the bronchi, mucus production “BLUE BLOATERS”, cyanotic, overweight . when doing activity it increased the work of activity
chronic bronchitis
mgt for COPD

- hypercapnia- purse lip breathing*
diaphragmatic breathing
LET THEM SIT* every there is a activity

s/sx of asthma
Bronchoconstriction
Airway obstruction
Mucus production
what is the best purpose of Incentive spirometer
to Lung expansion, prevent lung collaps
what is the Dx tool for severity of asthma and to measure expiratory volume*
PEFM Peak expiratory flow meter
trapped air in the pleural space
pneumothorax
spontaneous injury- may caused also a closed chest injury
blunt trauma in the luncgs
closed chest injury
