IGGY: Respiratory & Oxygen Flashcards
Alveoli to blood = (Gas exchange/ Perfusion)
Delivery of oxygen to tissue = (Gas exchange/ Perfusion)
Alveoli to blood = Gas exchange
Delivery of oxygen to tissue = Perfusion
Pharynx or (throat) is divided into these 3 areas
Starting at the top
Naso
Oro
Laryngopharynx
Where does gas exchange take place
Between alveoli and Lung capillaries
NOT AIRWAYS
Which side of the heart recieves oxygen poor blood
Which side pumps oxygen rich blood to the body?
Which side pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs
Poor = Right
Rich = Left
Pumps to lungs = Right
Hemoptysis is most often seen in…
Chronic bronchitis
Lung cancer
Tracheal shift
Pneumothorax, Pleural effusion, medistinal mass, neck tumor PUSH TRACHEA WHICH SIDE
Pneumonectomy, fibrosis, Atelectasis PUSH TO WHICH SIDE
Pneumothorax, Pleural effusion, medistinal mass, neck Tumor = AWAY Affected Area
Pneumonectomy, fibrosis, Atelectasis = Towards affected area

Emphysema/ COPD (Barrel chest)
Crepitus (air under skin) is felt as….
Crackling
Pneumothorax
Tactile fremitus (vibration) is a normal find
Reduced fremitus is associated with…
Pneumothorax/ pleural effusion
Air / Fluid trapped in the space
Percuss the lungs
What is a normal lung sound
Resonance
Abnormal breath sounds are called
Adventitious
Breath sound heard over trachea/ larynx
Bronchial
Normal breath sound heard over Major Bronchi
Bronchovescular
Normal breath sound heard over peripheral field of lungs- air flows from smaller bronchioles to alveoli
Vesicular
Nurse role in patients with a CT scan
Sensitivity to contrast material
Allergy to Iodine & Shellfish
IV contrast materials is nephrotoxic
Kidney function
Type II diabetes?
Taking Metformin
