Exam 3 Flashcards
how many pairs of ribs are there
12
what are the 4 major functions of the respiratory system
supply oxygen to the body for energy
remove carbon dioxide (waste)
maintain acid-base balance (homeostasis) of arterial blood
maintain heat exchange
what can environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) cause in a baby
sudden infant death syndrome
negative behavioral/cognitive functioning
increased rates of adolescent smoking
does residual volume increase in the aging adult
yes
what is the most common chronic disease in children
asthma
objective data of the lungs includes
inspection
palpation
percussion
auscultation
what is Tactile (vocal) Fremitus
use hands to assess for palpable variations
hands over skin
have them say “99” or “blue moon”
what is a sound that is not pathologic
atelectic crackles
short popping, crackles, few breaths disappear
what is the normal outcome of Tactile (vocal) Fremitus when auscultation
soft, muffled, indistinct
hear sound, not distinguish what is said
what do diseases cause in tactile fremitus
increase intensity and enhance transmission of sounds
Bronchophony
auscultate posterior chest
99 should be muffled and soft
if loud (consider lung consolidation)
Egophony
evaluates intensity of voice
say “eee”
if “aaa” is heard, consider lung consolidation
Whispered Pectoriloquy
performed when (+) bronchophony is auscultated whisper (1, 2, 3) should be faint/muffled
what are normal differences of infants lungs/thoracic cavity
rounded thorax
equal anterioposterior to transverse chest diameter
by what age does the thorax reach adult ratio
6
1:2
are crackles in the lungs of a newborn common
yes
what are normal RR for infants
30-40
may spike to 60
when may RR be different in infants
extremes in temperature
feeding
sleeping
are brief period of apnea in infants normal? if so, for how long?
yes
10-15 seconds
when breathing, what may happen to the HR
it may speed up
what are normal findings in the aging adult related to respiratory system
increase in AP diameter Kyphosis (hunchback) outward curvature of thoracic spine chest expansion may decrease but still symmetric tend to tire easily when auscultating
what is the ratio of a barrel chest
1:1
whats the ratio of normal chest
1:2
what are pulmonary embolisms typically caused by
DVT
what are s/s of pulmonary embolism
chest pain (worse on inspiration) dyspnea apprehension (impending doom) anxiety restless diaphoresis hypotension crackles wheezes Partial Pressure <80 mm
what is crepitus
it is noticed palpating surface of ones skin
can sound like bubble wrap
can be sign of an open thoracic injury (punctured lung leaking air)
where is the apex of the heart
bottom
where is the base of the heart
top of the heart
what are the great vessels
arteries and veins that are connected to the heart
what are the two continious loops of blood vessels
Pulmonary Circulation
Systemic Circulation
what are the two AV valves
tricuspid (right)
Bicuspid/Mitral (left)
when are the two AV vales closed
during systole (emptying) to prevent regurg of blood back into aorta
what are the semilunar valves
Pulmonic (right)
Aortic (left)
what is the blood flow of the heart
right atrium right ventricle pulmonary artery lungs pulmonary vein left atrium left ventricle
when does S3 occur
when ventricles are resistant to filling during early rapid filling phase (Protodiastole)
when does S4 occur
at the end of diastole, at presystole, ventricle resistant to filling
what is S4 a sign of
HF
MI
when is S3 normal
it is okay in children, pregnancy, and conditioned athletes
what are murmurs caused by
the backflow of blood
what is heard if a murmur is present
blowing/swooshing
what are the conditions that result in murmurs
increased velocity of blood
decreased viscosity of blood
structural defects in valves
what is the node that initiates the electric impulse
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
what is the equation for cardiac output
Heart Rate X Stroke Volume
how much does blood volume increase in pregnancy
30-40%
arterial BP decreases
what are the electrocardiogram differences in older adults
prolonged PR interval
prolonged QT interval
QRS is the same
what is the most common underlying cause of death globally
CVD
what are the risk factors of CVD
HTN Smoking Increased Serum Cholesterol Physical Activity Diet
what is Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea
SOB at night, feeling of smothering when sleeping
signs of heart issues in infants can include
diaphoresis when eating
SOB when eating
fall asleep then wake up soon and still be hungry
cyanosis
what is a bruit
something you hear
what can a bruit be a sign of in the carotid
atherosclerosis
build up of plaque
what does the jugular venous pressure give information on
the hearts efficiency to pump
information about the right side of the heart
