Oxygenation (Exam 1) (Sub with JD's FCs) Flashcards

1
Q

Breathing is what kind of process?

A

Passive. It is regulated by O2 CO2 and pH of the blood.

-When CO2 increases the body knows to increase rate and depth of breaking to help remove CO2

Q

Hypoxia Causes

A

-Decreased hemoglobin levels/low O2 carrying capability (Decrease Hemo)

-Diminished O2 concentration of inspired O2 (Altitude)

-Inability of tissues to get O2 from the blood (Cyanide poison)

-Decreased diffusion of O2 from alveoli to blood-infections/pneumonia

-Poor perfusion with oxygenated blood (shock)

-Impaired ventilations from trauma (rib fracture)

A

Central Cyanosis.

25
Q

Chronic Hypoxia

A

-Chronic Lung conditions (COPD)

-Cyanotic nail beds
-Clubbed nail
-Sluggish Cap refill
-Barrel chest

26
Q

Important when it comes to coughing

A

Control the patients pain

27
Q

Sputum collection

A

-Collect early morning

-Collect 1-2 hours after patient eats

-Sterile procedure

-Teach patient to cough into the container and get as much expectorate sputum as possible

-May require suctioning if they cant cough anything up

28
Q

Negative sputum collections means

A

It was normal and they did not have anything

29
Q

Sputum for acid-fast bacillus (AFB)

A

-Screens for presence of AFB for detection of tuberculosis by early morning specimens on 3 consecutive days

30
Q

Sputum for cytology

A

-Obtained to identify lung cancer

-Differentiate type of cancer cells

31
Q

Pulmonary Function Test

A

-Basic ventilation studies. How well you are breathing

-Determines ability of the lungs to efficiently exchange O2 and CO2.

-Used to differentiate pulmonary obstructive from restrictive disease

32
Q

Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR)

A

-Airway resistance. Asthma and progression of asthma

33
Q

Bronchoscopy

A

Checking for normal airways without massess, pus, or foreign bodies

34
Q

Lung scan

A
