Q

Respiration involves

A

Ventilation diffusion and perfusion. Activation of the respiratory center occur via impulse from chemo receptors located in the aortic arch and carotid artery be a stretch and Irritant Receptors in the long via receptors in muscle and joint. CO Is the most powerful respiratory stimuli causing an increase in Respiratory depth and rate. The cervical cortex of the brain allow voluntary control her breathing.

Q

Ventilation(breathing)

A

Movement of gas in and out of the lungs. Inspiration(Inhalation)Is the active breathing in. Expiration(Exhalation)The act of breathing out. Has both autonomic and voluntary control.

Q

Dyspnea

A

A client with dyspnea may complain of shortness of breath or that he cannot get enough air. Paroxysmal Nocturnal dyspnea (PND) Occurs at night when the client is in supine position. Austin PND is associated with orthopnea, the need to use more pillows. Dyspnea on exertion(DOE)Is a common phrase. You should also describe what kind and Quantity of exertion bring on dyspnea. To position a dyspnic Client correctly in bed, placed a pillow lengthwise beneath the back and head. The bed is in semi Fowler’s position

53
Q

Blood pressure

A

The American Heart Association recommends requiring blood pressure as systolic muffling disappearance - 126/70/66. Low blood pressure hypotension 90/60 - confusion dizziness weakness pale cyanotic or cool skin. High blood pressure hypertension 130/80 - Headaches nosebleed flushing anxiety or pain.

55
Q

Respiration

A

Normal rate is 12 to 20 breaths per minute. If abnormal count respiration for a full minute. If audible breath sounds are heard Note on inspiration or expiration

56
Q

Temperature

A

If patient temperature is elevated ( 37.8 c or 100 f ) - febrile. Patient temperature is normal -afebrile. In the acute setting most temperature are obtain using an electronic thermometer. Glass thermometers are use for clients on isolation. Contra indication unable to hold thermostat in mouth too weak mouth breather oral surgery seizure disorder or recent hot or cold liquid in the last 15 minutes

57
Q

Pulse oximetry

A

Can be attached to finger toes or ear lobe. The following factors can interfere with the accuracy of oxygen saturation-Hypotension, hypothermia, Vasoconstriction, Movement of the finger, low perfusion, cigarette smoking, and finger nail polish. Normal for adults 95 to 100% acceptable range for elderly is 92% to 100% value less than 92% in adult may suggest respiratory compromise

58
Q

Pulse physiology

A

Horses are regulated by the autonomic nervous system through the sinoatrial node.Parasympathetic stimulation of the Vegas nerve flow the pulse rate while sympathetic stimulationIncreases the heart rate. The pulse rate is the number of Pulsation felt or palpated over the peripheral artery. This same pulse rate can be also heard over the apex of the heart(apical)

59
Q

65
Q

Normal capillary refill is less than three seconds.

A

Abnormal findings include an absent, week, thready pulse, A forceful or bounding pulses, and A asymmetrical pulse.So long capillary refill is associated with alternations in peripheral perfusion in cardiac output.

69
Q

Common cardiovascular and peripheral vascular variation in newborns and children

A

Visible cardiac Pulsation if the chest wall is thin. Sinus dysrhythmia (The rate increases with inspiration in decreases with expiration).Presence of S3(in about 1/3 of all children - heart murmurs). More rapid heart rate ( until about 8 years of age)

70
Q

Carmen cardiovascular and Peripheral Vascular variation in older adults.
