Oxygenation & Perfusion Flashcards
oxygenation
process of providing cells with oxygen through the respiratory system
Upper Respiratory system structure
mouth
nose
pharynx
larynx
Lower Respiratory system structure
trachea
lungs
-bronchi
-bronchioles
-alveoli
Process of Oxygenation
ventilation - inhale and exhale
respiration - alveolar gas exchange
perfusion - movement of oxygen and CO2
Factors affecting oxygenation
level of health
development
medication
lifestyle
social determinates of health
psychological
Oxygenation issues
pneumonia
COPD
Athsma
Oxygenation Assessment
history
vital signs
System specific assessment
pain
fever
fatigue
changes in baseline
Oxygenation Nursing Interventions
facilitate pulmonary ventilation and airway patency
positioning
ambulation
TCDB
hydrate
incentive spirometer
medication
Oxygenation devices
Nasal Cannula
Simple Mask
FiO2
Fraction of inspired oxygen
Perfusion
the flow of blood
Perfusion Cardiac Structure; Chambers, Valves, Electrical Pathway
chambers; R Atrium, R ventricle, L atrium, L ventricle
Valves; Tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral, aortic
Electrical Pathway; sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, bundle of his, purkinje fibers
Where does each side of the heart pump blood
R (Vena)- oxygen to lungs
L(Artery)- Blood into body
Cardiac Output
amount of blood pumped in one minute
Factors Affecting Perfusion
Level of health
development
medication
lifestyle
social determinants of health
psychosocial
