exam 3 Flashcards
Normal Values for
Oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) is
95-100%
Normal Values for
Partial pressure of arterial oxygenation: (Pa02) is
60-100mm Hg
Normal Values for
Arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) is
35-45 mm Hg
4 Physiological factors affecting oxygen
Decreased oxygen-carrying capacity (anemia then subsequent hypoxemia)
Decreased inspired oxygen concentration (High Altitude)
Hypovolemia (trauma, surgery)
Increased metabolic rate (sepsis, illness)
6 Conditions Affecting Chest Wall Movement:
Pregnancy
Obesity
Musculoskeletal abnormalities
Trauma
Neuromuscular disease
CNS alterations
During early stages of hypoxia the blood pressure is _______ unless the condition is caused by shock. As the hypoxia worsens, the respiratory rate _____ as a result of respiratory muscle fatigue.
elevated
declines
3 early Central Nervous System Signs and Symptoms of Hypoxia
apprehension
restlessness or irritability
confusion, poor concentration and lethargy
3 late Central Nervous System Signs and Symptoms of Hypoxia
- Combativeness
- Coma
- confusion
2 early Respiratory Signs and Symptoms of Hypoxia
Tachypnea
Dyspnea on exertion (DOE)
4 late Respiratory Signs and Symptoms of Hypoxia
Dyspnea at rest
Use of accessory muscles
Retractions on inspiration
Pause for breath between sentences, words
3 early Cardiovascular Signs and Symptoms of Hypoxia
Tachycardia
Mild elevated BP
Dysrhythmias
3 late Cardiovascular Signs and Symptoms of Hypoxia
Dysrhythmias
Cyanosis
Cool, clammy skin
- Determines ability of the lungs to efficiently exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. differentiate pulmonary obstructive from restrictive disease
Pulmonary function studies (PFT)
- Specimen of plural fluid obtained for cytological examination
- Results may indicate an infection or neoplastic disease
Thoracentesis
- Visual examination of the tracheobronchial tree through a narrow, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope
- Performed to obtain fluid, sputum, or biopsy samples; remove mucus plugs or foreign bodie
Bronchoscopy
- Nuclear scanning test used to identify abnormal masses by size and location
lung scan
can be performed nasally, orally, or via artificial airways such as endotracheal tubes and tracheostomies
Suctioning
Oral suctioning is performed with a ____ device.
Yankauer
Goal is to achieve and maintain a maximal inspiration to improve pulmonary ventilation, loosen secretions, facilitates gas exchange and prevent alveolar collapse.
Incentive Spirometry
Incentive Spirometry Correct use:
exhale normally then slowly and deeply inhale as much as possible, hold 3 seconds and exhale, repeat 10X every hour while awake
Humidification is necessary for clients receiving O2 therapy >__L/min
4
Keep O2 delivery systems ___ feet from open flames
10
Oxygen Capability at 1-6L/min
Nasal Cannula
Best option for patients with COPD as it delivers very low flow oxygen
Nasal Cannula
Provide concentrations of O2 at 4-8L/m
Face Tent
Provides 5-10L of O2
Simple Face Mask
Minimum of 5L/min O2 required to prevent client from re-breathing exhaled carbon dioxide
Simple Face Mask
Provides 6-10 L of O2 per minute
Partial Non-rebreather with a reservoir bag
rebreathe first third of exhaled air in conjunction with O2.
Patient is still taking in room air.
Partial Non-rebreather with a reservoir bag
Provides 10L/min of O2
Non-rebreather Face Mask with reservoir bag
prevent room air and client’s exhaled air from entering the bag so only O2 in bag is inspired
Non-rebreather Face Mask with reservoir bag
4L=24-28%
8L=35-40%
12L=50-60%
Venturi Mask
Hydration ________ml/day
Cough and deep breathe every___ hours while awake
1500-2000
1-2
