Q

how does age affect oxygenation function?

A

decreased oxy
-increased work of breathing:
expiration becomes active, should be passive (have to work harder to breath)
-decreased gas exchange due to:
decreased capillaries (where gas exchange takes place)
decreased inspiratory lung volumes

Q

how does age affect ventilation function?

A

decreased vent
-ineffective cough (thicker secretions)
-drier mucous membrane
-delayed gastric emptying= increase aspiration risk
-impaired mobility- impacts resp system
-meds that decrease vent
-tissues and airways more rigid/stiff; diaphragm moves less efficient=less air exchange

39
Q

what do crackles sound like?

A

fine, popping/crackling discontinuous sounds
*air moving through wet secretions
*causes alveolar collapse (pneumonia, fluid overload)
*can be coarse or fine!

40

need to clear secretions through coughing or suction

41
Q

how to cough for rhonchi?

A
  • breathe in
  • 3 small coughs (work secretions up closer to exit)
  • breathe in
  • one big cough
42
Q

noninvasive ways to check pulmonary function?

A

pulse ox
chest x ray (lung outline)
pulmonary function test (volume in 1 second, max expiratory pressure: blow as fast and hard as you can to measure volumes, also for vent)

43
Q

what does pulse ox measure?

A

arterial hemoglobin, saturation of oxygen

44
Q

when to do continuous pulse ox measurement?

A

if abnormal- less than 90

45
Q

what is a pulse ox spot check?

A

on during vital reading then taken back off

46
Q

what are the invasive way to assess pulmonary function?

A

arterial blood gas analysis (go into artery for sample: gives oxy, bicarb, ph, and co2= oxy and vent)
bronchoscopy (tube into lungs)

47
Q

what is SpO2? PaO2?

A

SpO2: saturation
PaO2: partial pressure of oxygen (from invasive monitoring in ABG)

48
Q

if spo2 is 70%, what is pao2?

A

40%

49
Q

if spo2 is 80%, what is pao2?

A

50
Q

if spo2 is 90%, what is pao2?

51
Q

if spo2 is 95%, what is pao2?

53
Q

tumors are?

A

55
Q

interventions for adequate pulmonary functioning?

A

-smoking cessation
-positioning (Fowler’s is best [45-60])
-chest physiotherapy (cut hands and repeatedly tap area to loosen fluid= easier to cough up, several shallow huffing breaths then final forceful cough)
-anxiety control
-pursed lip breathing (for COPD- prolongs expiratory phase, inhale 2 exhale 4)
-adequate fluid intake (hydrations thin secretions)
-humidified oxygen
-nutrition
-resp meds
-coughing and deep breathing
-incentive spirometry

what is the “christmas tree”?

A

measures fio2
