Quiz 4 Heathers portion Flashcards
Hypoventilation?
slow breathing increase in CO2 in blood. seen with COPD. (O2 Drives breathing)
Hypoxemia?
Low 02 in blood- increase resp rate to increase 02.
Cyariosis
a blush discolouration of skin from poor circulation or lack of 02.
Polycythemia
Increase concentration of hemoglobin in blood—clots. need to mobolize pt.
Hypercapnia
Excessive CO2 in blood. Monitor 02 and CO2, breathing exercises.
Clubbing fingers
Defect in gas exchange
Dyspnea at rest
SOBAR ; do positioning and slow movements.
Postural Draining
Positioning to help drain fluid and chest therapy
Atalectasis
Complete/partial collapse of lung
Cor-pulmonate
alteration in structure/function of right ventricle.
What is Cor-pulmonate caused by?
a primary disorder of the respiratory system. Increase pressure exerting on the heart due to a primary (lung injury).
Electrolyte Imbalances are caused by?
loss of body fluids. vommitting etc. Dehydration
Recurrent infections
Two plus infections that occur within 1 yr. Reactivation of an infection.
Respiratory failure
lack of gas exchange in body
Blue bloaters
Inflammation of the bronchii
Symptoms of blue bloaters
cough, excessive mucus
Cystic Fibrosis ?
Malnutrition, massive lung damage.
Cystic Fibrosis affects the cels that produce what?
Sweat, mucus, saliva and digestive secretions.
CF is similar to cement dehydrated a viscus T/F?
T
Symptoms of CF?
Salty skin, cough, hypoxia, fatigue, delayed growth
Treatment for CF
Salt, increase protien and fluid, chest physio humidify air, heart lung transplant
Treatment of Chronic Bronchitis?
O2 therapy Bronchodilators Corticosteriods Antiobiotics if bacteria Postural draining and chest physio Increase in hydration
Lung Cancer complications
Airway obstruction lung tissue inflammed fluid accumulation
Pleural Effusion?
Increase of fluid in pleural cavity
Symptoms of pleural effusion
Chest pain. tachycardia.
Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax can cause lung to collapse t/f?
T
Risk factures of Pnuemothorax
Smoking.. hx of lung disease
Symptoms of it
Chest p and tightness anxiety and depression
Pulmonary Embolism
Lodging of a blood clot in pulmonary artery and obstructed blood supply to lung
Causes of Pulmonary Embolism
DVI Deep vein thrombosis in L/E
Top 3 Risk factors
- Blood stasis — not moving
- Trauma, fracture, Sx
- .Diagnosis that increase clotting
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome?
Rapid developing resp failure… Lungs are congested and heavy.
Symptoms of ARDS
Shallow breathing, cough, sputum, hypotension, fever, confusion
How to prevent atelectasis?
Increase mobility, coughing, deep breathing Pain management Splinting
