Oxygenation Flashcards
Children resp rate
20-30/min
Newborn resp rate
30-60/min
Abnormal breath sounds that occur when air passes narrowed airways filled with fluid or mucus, or when pleural linings are inflamed
Adventitious breath sounds
A complete absence of respirations
Apnea
Atelectasis
Collapse of a portion of a lung
Shallow breaths interrupted by apnea
Biota respirations
Abnormally slow respiration rate less than 10
Bradypnea
Rhythmic waxing and waning of respirations from very deep breathing to very shallow breathing with periods of temp apnea
Cheyanne stokes respirations
The mixing of molecules or ions of two or more substances as a result of random motion
Diffusion
Difficult or labored breathing
Dyspnea
Chronic condition in which alveoli are dilated and distended
Emphysema
Normal quiet breathing
Eupnea
Spit out
Expectorate
Hematocrit
The proportion of rbcs to total blood volume
The accumulation of blood in the pleural cavity
Hemothorax
Co2 accumulates in blood
Hypercapnia
Low partial pressure of o2 or low saturation of oxyhemoglobin in the arterial blood
Hypoxemia
Blowing off co2 through deep and rapid breathing
Kussmauls breathing
Expansibility of the lung
Lung compliance
The tendency of lungs to collapse away from the chest wall
Lung recoil
Exists when there is excessive fluid in the pleural space
Pleural effusion
AIr collects in pleural space
Pneumothorax
Aka alveolar/capillary membrane. Where gas exchange occurs
Respiratory membrane
Harsh high pitched sound may be heard during inspiration
Stridor
