lower respiratory disorders Flashcards
pulmonary edema
bilateral fluid in the lungs, alveoli, or both
differs from pneumonia because its on both sides
cardiogenic pulmonary edema
CAD
cardiomyopathy
heart valve problems
HTN
left sided heart failure –> increase in pulmonary venous pressure that forces fluid into the capillaries
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema medical management
improve left ventricular function
vasodilators–> nitro
preload reduces
ionotropic meds
after load reducers –> vasotec catopril
intra aortic balloon pump
contractility meds
noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
lung infection
toxin exposure
sepsis
smoke inhalation
chest trauma
adverse drug reaction
low oncotic pressure
pulm edema clinical manifestations
BLOOD TINGED FROTHY SPUTUM
pulm edema assessment
crackles
rapidly progresses towards apices of lungs
x rays –> increased interstitial markings
tachycardia –> heart working overtime
pulse ox falls
abg worsens
pulm edema noncardiogenic medical management
correct underlying cause
diuretics
fluid restriction
sup oxygen to relieve hypoxemia and dyspnea non rebreather–> cpap–> intubation
morphine for anxiety
acute respiratory failure
sudden and life threatening deterioration of gas exchange function of lung
acute respiratory failure abg
respiratory acidosis
PaO2 less than 60
SaO2 less than 90
PaCO2 more than 50
pH less than 7.35
Acute respiratory failure impaired ventilation: respiratory
acute obstruction
ARF impaired ventilation: CNS
drug overdose
head trauma
infection
hemorrhage
sleep apnea
ARF Impaired Ventilation: neuromuscular
myasthenia gravis
guillian barre syndrome
ALS
spinal cord trauma
ARF impaired ventilation: musculoskeletal
chest trauma –> cant expand chest
kyphosis
malnutrition
ARF impaired oxygenation: perfusion
pneumonia
ARDS
heart failure
COPD
Pulmonary embolism
restrictive lung disease
ARF impaired oxygenation: post op
analgesia –> resp depression
pain –> cant deep breathe or cough
ventilation perfusion mismatch
ARF early clinical manifestations
restlessness
air hunger
headache
tachycardia
increased BP
fatigue
ARF late clinical manifestations
confusion
lethargy
central cyanosis
tachypnea
diaphoresis
resp arrest
use of accessory muscles
decreased breath sounds
ARF medical management
correct underlying cause
intubation and MV
oxygenation
