A

Weakening of tissue= COPD, Outerlining of lung

55

Increased airway resistance, Pulmonary barotrauma, Nosocomial infection, Respiratory Alkalosis, Hyperoxia, Impaired venous return, Gastric distention, Air trapping, Auto PEEP, overdistention

56
Q

Impaired Venous return

A

Less blood to right of heart, positive pressure into mediastinal

57
Q

Mediastinal consists of

A

heart, esophageal, trachea, spinal

58
Q

Hyperoxia

A

100% O2

59
Q

Respiratory Alkalosis

A

Blowing of more CO2= hyperventilation

A

Hospital acquired

61
Q

Trigger the IPPB how

A

Begin breathing= 2cm of water (neg pressure)

62
Q

Ez-PAP

A

Positive airway pressure

63
Q

A

barotrauma or pneumothorax

64
Q

Bronchial hygiene

A

Make sure airways are clear (secretions)

65
Q

Hyperinflation therapy

A

Increase aeration (atelectasis)

66

reestablish lung volume by taking deep breaths
