Pulmonary Rehab Flashcards
Explain the V/ Q mismatch using the terms “shunt and dead
V/Q mismatch: either the lung gets blood flow with not enough O2 or O2 with not enough blood
dead space: excess oxygen ( V)
shunt: excess blood flow ( P)
Which volume is the amount of air that we inhale and exhale during one respiratory cycle
Tidal volume
Which is the amount of air remaining in the lungs at the end of normal exhalation
functional residual capacity
This breathing aid helps prevent infection and reduce atelectasis
Incentive spirometer
measures volume of air inhaled after inspiration
Which capacity is the total amount of air exhaled after maximal inhalation?
vital capacity
Indicator of ability to breathe deeply and cough
Reflects Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength
This lung volume is directly affected in emphysema and pneumothorax infection since there is air trapping and increased intra thoracic pressure
residual volume
apnea ( breathing pattern definitions)
Lack of airflow to the lungs for >15 seconds
Biot’s respirations
CONSTANT increased rate and depth of respiration followed by periods of apnea of varying lengths
Cheyne-Stokes respirations
Increasing DEPTH of ventilation followed by a period of apnea
Kussmaul respirations
Increased regular RATE and DEPTH of ventilation
Paradoxic ventilation
Inward abdominal or chest wall movement with inspiration and outward movement with expiration
MISMATCH OF HOW THE CHEST WALL MOVES AND BREATHS GOING IN AND OUT
Bradypnea
Ventilation rate <12 breaths per minute
Hyperpnea
Increased depth of ventilation
Hyperventilation
Increased rate and depth of ventilation resulting in decreased PCO2
Hypoventilation
Decreased rate and depth of ventilation resulting in increased PCO2
Hoover’s sign
The inward motion of the lower rib cage during inhalation
Sighing respirations
The presence of a sigh >2-3 times per minute
Orthopnea
Dyspnea that occurs in a flat supine position. Relief occurs with more upright sitting or standing
What does arterial blood gas measure
pH
ventilation ( CO2)
oxygenation ( O2)
What happens the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right
pH increases
alkalosis or hypocapnia
