Q

Pathophysiology of ventilation: restrictive

A

Inability to effective breathe in

Ex. interstitial lung disease, infiltrative lung disease (pneumonia), disorders of pleura or chest wall, surgical resection of lung (lobe removed), pregnancy, obesity, ascites

Q

Respiratory Assessment: Sputum: yellow green

A

Upper respiratory infection

22
Q

Respiratory Assessment: Sputum: rusty

A

Pneumococcal pneumonia

23
Q

Respiratory Assessment: Sputum: pink

A

Blood mixed in alveoli/bronchioles

Pneumonia or pulmonary edema

24
Q

Respiratory Assessment: Sputum: frothy

A

air bubbles from fluid in pulmonary capillaries that enters alveoli

25
Q

Respiratory Assessment: Sputum: bloody

A

hemorrhage in respiratory tract, embolism, or trauma to the respiratory tract

26
Q

Dyspnea def

A

shortness of breath

27
Q

Orthopnea def

A

only occurs when laying flat, usually due to fluid distribution in lungs

28
Q

Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea def

A

Sudden gasping for air when sleeping

29
Q

Wheezing def

A

high pitched sound usually exhalation but can be either

30
Q

Pleuritic pain def

A

chest pain when breathing, sharp/stabbing pain when inhaling (inflammation from pleural membranes)

31
Q

Tachypnea def

32
Q

Bradypnea def

33
Q

Normal respirator rate

34
Q

Hypernea def

A

normal rate but deeper than usual

35
Q

What causes cyanosis

A

lack of oxygen

36
Q

What causes pallor

A

decreased blood flow

37
Q

Normal breath sounds: bronchial sounds: location, pitchy, expiratory vs inspiratory sounds

A

listen over trachea and larynx
high pitched, loud
expiratory sounds > inspiratory

38
Q

Normal breath sounds: bronchovesicular sounds: location, pitchy, expiratory vs inspiratory sounds

A

Listen over major bronchi or between scapula
Medium pitch and intensity
Expiratory = inspiratory

39
Q

Normal breath sounds: vesicular sounds: location, pitchy, expiratory vs inspiratory sounds

A

Listen over smaller bronchioles and alveoli
Low pitched and soft
Inspiration>Expiration

40
Q

Adventitious breath sounds: Rales/crackles sounds

A

Short, popping sounds
Most often during inhalation
Can indicate: infxn, inflammation, CHF

41
Q

Adventitious breath sounds: Wheezes, stridor, and rhonchi

A

Wheezes - high pitched, heard over airways
Stridor - high pitched wheeze, heard over larynx
Rhonchi - low pitched, snoring quality

42
Q

Adventitious breath sounds: Friction rub

A

Deep harsh, grating sound
inspiration > expiration
caused by rubbing of visceral and parietal pleura

43
Q

Normal blood pH range

44
Q

Normal PaO2 range

A

80-100mmHg

45
Q

Normal PaCO2 range

A

35-45 mmHg

46
Q

Normal SaO2 range

A

92-100 on room air

47
Q

FVC def

A

forced vital capacity (biggest hardest exhalation)

48
Q

FEV1 def

A

forced expiratory volume in 1 second (first second of exhalation)

Should be >70%

49
Q

Peak flow meter: Green

A

80-100%, no action needed

50
Q

Peak flow meter: Yellow

A

50-80%, asthma acting up, pt may need rescue med

51
Q

Peak flow meter: Red

A

<50%, pt needs med and needs medical attention
