L1+2 Oxygen And Suction Flashcards
Process of gas exchange
Pulmonary ventilation
Alveolar gas exchange
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Systematic diffusion
Transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Flow of co2 and o2
Where o2 goes?
What affect rate of oxygen transport
O2 from lung goes into tissue
Co2 goes from tissue to lung (exhale)
o2 combined lossely with hemoglobin in rbs into tissue as oxyhemoglobin
Exercise, cardiac output
Factors that affect respiratory function
Age
Environment
lifestyle
Health status
Stress
Medication
Affecting respiratory function-age
Neonate
Lung filled with amniotic fluid
Fully expand by 2wks old
Older adult
More rigid chest wall and less elastic
Less cough reflex
Environment
Higher altitude=lower po2cold or too hot, cold-) must expend more energy to maintain temperature
How lifestyle affect respiratory function?
Have exercise vs didnt
Lifestyle with physical exercise will increase rate and depth of respiration
Sit-) lack of alveolar expansion and deep breath pattern
Health status& medication affecting respiratory function
Respiratory system disease affect oxygenation of blood
Medication can reduce rate and depth of breathing such as diazepam and opioid
RR has to be monitored with nurse when administering these drugs
Stress affecting respiratory function
Pow increase and pco2 decrease as hyperventilation
Light head, numbness of finger and tows and mouth
Short term symptoms
Other a alteration in respiratory function
Airway patency
Upper airway obstruction
Due to foreign object obstruction e.g. fall tongue
Lower respiratory obstrution
Due to accumulate of mucus or inflammatory exudates
Client may have restlessness, dyspnea
Tachypnea
Bradypnea
Tachypnea: fever, pain, hypoxemia
Brady: drug affected, brain injury
Heath history taking related to respiratory disease
History of respiratory disease
Presence of risk factors
Lifestyle related to respiratory problems
Current respiratory problems
Presence of cough and sputum
Present of chest pain
Environmental history
Medical history
Inspection to sputum
White/ clear: viral infection
Yellow or green: bacteria infection
Black: coal dust
Rusty (blood): pneumococcal pneumonia, TB
Hemoptysis: small to large amount of frank blood
Pink& frothy (泡)
Foul smelling (臭
Other assesment for physical examination
Palpation
Pulse
Skin tempt
Tenderness
Percussion敲
Area of consolidation/ air pocket
Auscultation
Breathing sound
Heart sound
Assesment- pulse oximeter
SpO2=95-100
remove acrylics nails
Remove dirt and skin oil
Minimize patient movement
Assesment- arterial blood gases (ABG)
Sample taken from radial, bradial, femoral pulse
Assesment-sputum samples
-chest x ray
- allergy test
Microscope evaluation of sputum
Xray: provide anterior-posterior view of heart& lung
Allergy test: indentify antigen that may cause hypersensitivity
Assesment- spirometry- peak flow monitoring
Measure the amount of air can be exhale with forcible effort
