Oxygenation Flashcards
What vital sign is associated with ventilation?
Respiration
Definition: moving of air in the lungs
Ventilation
Definition: exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the atmospheric air in the alveoli and blood in the pulmonary capillaries
Respiration
Definition: movement of solute from higher to lower concentration
Diffusion
Electrical activity of atrial depolarization is associated with what kind of ECG pattern?
P wave (Atria pumps)
Electrical activity including a delay at the AV node is associated with what ECG pattern?
PR segment (ventricle filling)
Electrical activity of ventricular depolarization is associated with what ECG pattern?
QRS complex (ventricle pumps out blood, atria rests)
Electrical activity of ventricular repolarization is associated with what ECG pattern?
T wave (ventricle rests)
No electrical activity on an ECG shows what pattern?
Isoelectric line (atria filling)
Disturbance of the rhythm of the heart
Dysrhythmia
Describe how atrial dysrhythmia will look on an ECG
no P wave since there is a problem with atria
Describe how a ventricular dysrhythmia will look on an ECG
No QRS complex
Tachyarrhythmia with pulse = ?
stable
Tachyarrhythmia without pulse = ?
Unstable
Ischemia
decreased O2 supply to the heart caused by insufficient blood supply
Infarction
death of heart tissue due to lack of O2
Perfusion
blood flow from Lt side of heart, through systemic circulation; oxygenated capillary blood passes through body tissues
Internal Respiration
exchange of oxygen and CO2 between the circulating blood and body tissues
Paresthesia is caused by ?
decreased O2 to tissues
Treatment for hyperventilation
Breathe into paper bag
Breathing back in Co2 increases CO2 in blood
Perfusion
blood flow from left side of the heart, through systemic circulation; oxygenated capillary blood passes through body tissues
Internal Respiration
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the circulating blood and body tissues
