Q

Nursing interventions BEFORE Bronchogram

A
  • Secure written consent
  • Check for allergies to sea foods or iodine or anesthesia
  • NPO for 6 to 8 hours
  • Pre-op meds: atropine SO4 and valium, topical anesthesia sprayed; followed by local anesthetic injected into larynx. The nurse must have oxygen and anti-spasmodic agents ready.

26
Q

function tests that are routinely used in patients with chronic respiratory disorders to aid diagnosis.

A

PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST

27
Q

The movement of air in and out of the airways.

A

VENTILATION

28
Q

is a radiographic procedure that utilizes x-ray machine

A

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

29
Q

a decrease in oxygen supply to the tissues and cells that can also be caused by problems outside the respiratory system.

A

HYPOXIA

30
Q

With relaxation, the diaphragm moves up and intrathoracic pressure increases, this increased pressure pushes air out of the lungs, expiration requires the elastic recoil of the lungs

A

EXPIRATION

31
Q

contraction of the diaphragm (movement of this chamber floor downward) and contraction of the external intercostal muscles increases the space in this chamber, lowered intrathoracic pressure causes air to enter through the airways and inflate the lungs.

A

INSPIRATION

32
Q

Causes of Increased Airway Resistance:

A
  • CONTRACTION OF BRONCHIAL MUCOSA
  • THICKENING OF BRONCHIAL MUCOSA
  • OBSTRUCTION OF AIRWAY
  • LOSS OF ELASTICITY
33
Q

respiratory center initiates each breath by sending messages to primary respiratory muscles over the phrenic nerve.

46
Q

This is a non-invasive procedure involving the use x-rays with minimal radiation

A

CHEST X-RAY

47
Q

has 2 respiration centers that work with the inspiration center to produce normal rate of breathing

A

PONS

48
Q

A probe or sensor is attached to the fingertip, forehead, earlobe or bridge of the nose

A

49
Q

is the actual blood flow through the pulmonary circulation.

A

A

CLUBBING OF THE FINGERS

54
Q

It is done during bronchoscopy

A

TRANSBRONCHOSCOPIC BIOPSY

55
Q

Soft, high-pitched, discontinuous popping sounds that occur during inspiration (while usually heard on inspiration, they may also be heard on expiration); may or may not be cleared by coughing

A

CRACKLES

56
Q

A method of deep breathing that provides visual feedback to encourage the patient to inhale slowly and deeply to maximize lung inflation and prevent or reduce atelectasis.

A

INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY

57
Q

the flow of gas in and out of the lungs

A

VENTILATION

58
Q

Deep, low-pitched rumbling sounds heard primarily during expiration; caused by air moving through narrowed tracheobronchial passages
