12
Q

Location of respiratory center in the brain

A
  1. Medulla oblongata
  2. Pons
12
Q

These are located in medulla oblongata that respond to changes in blood and hydrogen ion concentration.

A

CHEMOSENSITIVE RECEPTORS

12
Q

This is characterized by extreme inspiratory effort with no chest movement and an inability to cough or speak.

A

COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED AIRWAY

12
Q

Factors affecting respiratory function

A
  1. Age
  2. Environment
  3. Lifestyle
  4. Health status
  5. Medications
  6. Stress
12
Q

When this happens, arterial PO2 rises and PCO2 falls. The person may experience light-headedness and numbness and tingling of the fingers, toes, and around the mouth as a result

A

HYPERVENTILATION

12
Q

It is released during stress that causes the bronchioles to dilate, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to active muscles.

A

EPINEPHRINE

12
Q

Harsh, high-pitched sound in inspiration

12
Q

An abnormally slow respiratory rate, which may be seen in clients who have taken drugs such as morphine or sedatives, who have metabolic alkalosis, or who have increased intracranial pressure (e.g., from brain injuries)

12
Q

It is indicated by low-pitched snoring during inhalation

A

PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTED AIRWAY

12
Q

Refers to the rate, volume, rhythm, and relative ease or effort of respiration

A

BREATHING PATTERNS

12
Q

Normal respiration, is quiet, rhythmic, and effortless.

12
Q

Rapid respiration; is seen with fevers, metabolic acidosis, pain, and hypoxemia

12
Q

Increased levels of carbon dioxide

A

HYPERCARBIA/HYPERCAPNIA

12
Q

Inadequate alveolar ventilation, may be caused by either slow or shallow breathing, or both

A

HYPOVENTILATION

12
Q

Absence of any breathing

12
Q

Low levels of oxygen in the blood

13
Q

Is the increased movement of air into and out of the lungs. During hyperventilation, the rate and depth of respirations increase and more CO2 is eliminated than is produced.

A

HYPERVENTILATION

14
Q

A type of hyperventilation that accompanies metabolic acidosis by which the body attempts to compensate for increased metabolic acids by blowing off acid in the form of CO2

A

KUSSMAUL BREATHING

15
Q

Rhythmic waxing, waning of respirations from very deep to very shallow with short periods of apnea commonly caused by chronic diseases, increased intracranial pressure, or drug overdose

A

CHEYNE-STOKES RESPIRATIONS

16
Q

Cluster respirations, shallow breaths interrupted by apnea; may be seen in clients with CNS disorders.

17
Q

Difficulty breathing while lying down

17
Q

Difficulty breathing

17
Q

Condition of insufficient oxygen in body tissue

17
Q

Bluish discoloration of skin, nail beds, mucous membranes due to reduced hemoglobin-oxygen saturation

18
Q

Conditions that decrease cardiac output

A

> Congestive heart failure
Hypovolemia

18
Q

Are noninvasive tests that show how well the lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow,

A

PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS

19
Q

Maintains moist mucous membranes to aid removal of secretions

20
Q

These are used to deliver humidity and medications.

A

NEBULIZERS

21
Q

These are devices that add water vapor to inspired air

A

HUMIDIFIERS

21
Q

Aspirating secretions through a catheter connected to suction machine or wall suction outlet

A

SUNCTIONING

21
Q

Is the drainage by gravity of secretions from various lung segments.

A

POSTURAL DRAINAGE

21
Q

An estimation of the oxygen content a person inhales and is thus involved in gas exchange at the alveolar level.

A

FiO2 (Fraction of inspired oxygen)

22
Q

This involves giving the client breaths that are greater than the tidal volume set on the ventilator through the ventilator circuit or via a manual resuscitation bag.

A

HYPERINFLATION

23
Q

This can be done with a manual resuscitation bag or through the ventilator and is performed by increasing the oxygen flow (usually to 100%) before suctioning and between suction attempts. This is the best technique to avoid suction-related hypoxemia.

A

HYPEROXYGENATION

23
Q

collection of air in the pleural space

A

PNEUMOTHORAX

24
Q

accumulation of blood in the pleural space

A
