Pulmonary Flashcards
increase in PaCO2 levels in blood
hypercapnia
increased PaCO2/respiratory acidosis is present w/…
chronic bronchitis
reduced PaCO2/respiratory alkalosis is present w/…
pneumonia
normal volume of air inhaled and exhaled during quite breathing
tidal volume TV
additional volume of air that can be inspired beyond TV
inspiratory reserve volume IRV
additional volume of air that can be expired beyond TV
expiratory reserve volume ERV
volume of air that remains in lungs after forceful expiration so lungs don’t collapse
residual volume RV
maximum amount of air that can be inhaled. TV+IRV
inspiratory capacity IC
amount of air remaining in the lungs after normal tidal exhalation. ERV+RV
functional residual capacity FRC
maximum amount of air that can be exhaled following maximum inhalation. IRV+TV+ERV
vital capacity VC
12-20 bpm
>24 bpm
< 10 bpm
eupnea
tachypnea
bradypnea
irregular exhalation and inhalation. Associated w/ heart failure and in pts who are dying
Cheyne-Stokes breathing
cerebellar dysfunction and pts have irregular depths of breath
ataxic breathing
brain injury involved and pts have prolonged inhalation phase
apneustic breathing
pulmonary pathology where volume of air is reduced. Decreased compliance of lungs or chest
restrictive lung dysfunction RLD
