Dyspnea, Cyanosis and Abnormal Respiratory Patterns Flashcards
subjective experience of breathing discomfort that consists of qualitatively distinct sensations that vary in intensity
Dyspnea
Onbejective manifestation of dyspnea
Collaborating signs
Neurl signa; sent to the sensory cortex at the same time that motor output is directed to the ventillatory muscles
Corollary discharge
Different sensory afferents
Chemoreceptors
Mechanoreceptors
Chemoreceptors
Carotid bodies and medulla
Thing that activate the carotid bodies and medulla
hypoxemia, acute hypercapnia, and academia
Mechanoreceptors
Chest wall receptors and afferents
Pulmonary Vagal receptors -> chest tightness
J receptors -> air hunger
Receptor sensitive by bronchospam
Pulmonary Vagal Receptors
receptors sensitive to interstitial edema
J receptors
Receptor that is activated by acute changes in pulmonary artery pressure
Pulmonary Vascular Receptors
Breathlessness occurs during?
Heightened ventilatory demand Respiratory muscle abnormalities Abnormal ventilatory response Abnormal breathing patterns Blood-gas abnormalities
Different Receptor Pathways
Intrapulmonary parenchymal receptors Airway irritant receptors Carotid receptors Central chemoreceptors Peripheral vascular receptors
Stretch receptors in interstitial edema and charge in pulmonary compliance
Intrapulmonary parenchymal receptors
Receptors that detects hypoxic drive
Carotid body reeptors
Receptor that detects hypercapnic drive
Central chemoreceptors
Atrial mechanoreceptors, pulmonary artery baroreceptor
Peripheral Vascular Receptors
ration of the pressure generated by the respiratory muscle to the maximum pressure generating capacity of the muscles
Sense of Respiratory Effort
ASthma and CHF
Descriptor: Chest tightness or constriction
Pathophysiology: Bronchoconstriction, interstitial edema
COPD, asthma, neuromuscular. chest wa;; restriction
Descriptor: Increased work or effort
Pathophysiology: Airway obstruction, neuromuscular disease
