Module 5 Flashcards
Most common airway obstruction
Tongue
How long can the brain survive without oxygen?
6 minutes
Upper airway cuts off at
The vocal cords
Upper airway includes
Nasopharynx( nasal cavity, turbinates, nasal septum, sinuses)
Oropharynx ( tongue, palate) ( soft and hard)
Lower airway includes
Trachea aveoli, bronchi bronchioles
Total lung capacity
6L
Right versus left lung lobes
Right lung has three lobes
Left long has two lobes
Turbinates
Three. Boney shelves.
Produce from the lateral walls of the nasal cavity, and extend into the nasal passage
Upper airway
Nasal cavity
Lines with ciliated mucous membrane
Nasal septum
Divides the nasopharynx into two passages, composed of bone and cartilage
Sinus
Cavities formed by cranial bones, prevent contaminants from entering the respiratory track
Hyoid bone
Small horse shoe shaped bone to join epiglottis and thyroid cartilage are attached
Hard vs soft plate
Hard equals anterior portion form by the maxilla and palatine bones
Soft equals posterior to the hard palate
Trachea is the
Windpipe
Conduct for air entry into the lungs
Consist of a series of C-shaped cartilage rings
Which side of the stem bronchus is shorter and straighter
The right side tracheal tubes can end up here
Bronchioles
Dilate constrict in response to stimuli divide into smaller β> bronchi
Aveoli
Are ballon like clusters
Single layer
Site of oxygen and carbon exchange
Atelectatasis
Collapse of the aveoli
Surfactant
Decrease the friction surface tension and keeps the aveoli expanded
3 parts to the pleura sac
Most outer part is the parietal pearl
Middle part is the plural cavity
Inside lining part the visceral pleura
Parts of the lungs (labelled diagram)
Youβre doing great keep going :)
Tidal volume equals
Volume of air that is inhaled/exhaled in a single respiration (6-8ml/kg)
Inspiratory reserve volume equals
Amount of air that can be inhaled, in addition to tidal volume
300oml
How much of title volume remains in the upper airway?
1/3
1200ml is expelled to two places and where
1200 ml expelled in each breath
1200 ML is kept in the lung ( revisional volume )
2/3 of air is left where
Alveolar
Ventilation equals
Ability of the body to move air in and out of the lungs
Respirations equal
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide physical exchange of gases
Dead space equals
Any portion of the airway that lingers (but no air flow) therefore cannot participate in gas exchange
Anatomic dead space
Includes the trachea
And large bronchi
Physicallogical dead space
Created by inter-pulmonary obstructions, or atelecatosis
BBM nasal canula we do this
Alveolar volume
Remaining volume of inhaled hair, reaches the aveoli for gas exchange
Aveoli dead space volume is around
350ml
As respirations increases what happens to aveoli volume
Leads to a decrease in aveoli volume which leads to only dead space
Minute volume
Amount of air received in and out in one minute
Minutes alveolar volume
Amount of air that actually participates in gas change in one minute
AMV = DSV x RR
Fio2
Percent of oxygen in inhaled air
Example
Room air 21%
BVM 100%
Inspiration equals how many thirds
Expiration equals how many thirds
Inspiration equals 1/3
Expiration equals 2/3
What part of the brain is responsible for breathing?
Medulla/pons
What nerves are responsible in ventilation
Phrenic nerve
Intercostal nerve
What triggers the impulse to breathe
Carbon
