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.

25
Discontinuous popping sounds heard in early inspiration; harsh, moist sound originating in the large bronchi
COARSE CRACKLES
26
function tests that are routinely used in patients with chronic respiratory disorders to aid diagnosis.
PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST
27
The movement of air in and out of the airways.
VENTILATION
28
is a radiographic procedure that utilizes x-ray machine
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
29
a decrease in oxygen supply to the tissues and cells that can also be caused by problems outside the respiratory system.
HYPOXIA
30
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
EXPIRATION
31
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.
INSPIRATION
32
Causes of Increased Airway Resistance:
- CONTRACTION OF BRONCHIAL MUCOSA - THICKENING OF BRONCHIAL MUCOSA - OBSTRUCTION OF AIRWAY - LOSS OF ELASTICITY
33
respiratory center initiates each breath by sending messages to primary respiratory muscles over the phrenic nerve.
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
34
Vibrations of the chest wall that result from speech detected on palpation.
TACTILE FREMITUS
35
When does sputum specimen collected?
EARLY MORNING
36
provides for reoxygenation of blood and release of CO2
PULMONARY CIRCULATION
37
is a surgical procedure in which an opening is made into the trachea. The indwelling tube inserted into the trachea is called a _________
TRACHEOSTOMY
38
is the elasticity and expandability of the lungs and thoracic structures.
COMPLIANCE
39
carry blood from the heart to the lungs
PULMONARY ARTERIES
40
the administration of oxygen at a concentration greater than that found in the environmental atmosphere.
OXYGEN THERAPHY
41
a decrease in the arterial oxygen tension in the blood.
HYPOXEMIA
42
a sign of lung disease that is found in patients with chronic hypoxic conditions, chronic lung infections, or malignancies of the lung.
CLUBBING OF THE FINGERS
43
involves passing an endotracheal tube through the nose or mouth into the trachea.
ENDOTRACHEAL SUCTIONING
44
Percutaneous removal of a small amount of lung tissue
BIOPSY OF THE LUNGS
45
Some ________sounds are divided into two categories: discrete, discontinuous sounds (crackles) and continuous musical sounds (wheezes)
ADVENTITIOUS SOUNDS
46
This is a non-invasive procedure involving the use x-rays with minimal radiation
CHEST X-RAY
47
has 2 respiration centers that work with the inspiration center to produce normal rate of breathing
PONS
48
A probe or sensor is attached to the fingertip, forehead, earlobe or bridge of the nose
PULSE OXIMETER
49
is the actual blood flow through the pulmonary circulation.
PULMONARY PERFUSION
50
prolongs inhalation
APNEUSTIC CENTER
51
Is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged at the air–blood interface.
DIFFUSION
52
This is the direct inspection and observation of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi through a flexible or rigid bronchoscope.
BRONCHOSCOPY
53
A change in the normal nail bed. It appears as sponginess of the nail bed and loss of the nail bed angle.
CLUBBING OF THE FINGERS
54
It is done during bronchoscopy
TRANSBRONCHOSCOPIC BIOPSY
55
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
CRACKLES
56
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.
INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY
57
the flow of gas in and out of the lungs
VENTILATION
58
Deep, low-pitched rumbling sounds heard primarily during expiration; caused by air moving through narrowed tracheobronchial passages
SONOROUS WHEEZES (RHONCHI)
59
Discontinuous popping sounds heard in late inspiration; sounds like hair rubbing together; originates in the alveoli
FINE CRACKLES
60
the filling of the pulmonary capillaries with blood.
PERFUSION
