Respiratory Flashcards
Respiratory Assessment
-1- of -2-
- Type and location

-1-: auscultate while patient says -2-; if more of a long -3-, possible -4-
- Egophony
- “EEE”
- “AAA”

Respiratory Assessment - Transmitted voice sounds
Bronchophony: -1- chest wall; ask pt to say -2- repeatedly; -3- auscultation = -4-
- Hold stethoscope at
- “99”
- clear, distinct
- abnormal (consolidation)
Respiratory Assessment - Transmitted voice sounds
-1-: auscultate as patient -2-; if -3- and distinct, -4-
- Whisper pectoriloquy
- whispers, “1, 2, 3”;
- clear
- possible consolidation
Respiratory Assessment
> -1- if -2- of age and -3-
> Inspect -4-
- PFTs
- greater than 8 years
- cooperative
- work of breathing (nasal flaring, intercostal or supraclavicular contractions, grunting, head bobbing)
Respiratory Assessment - Obstructive Disease
Characterized by -1- rates; -2- within -3- or -4-
- reduced airflow
- lung volumes
- normal range
- larger
Respiratory Assessment - Obstructive Disease
Typical of a child -1- (air trapping) which results in decreased rates and FEV1 (e.g., -2-, -3-, -4-)
- having trouble exhaling (Obstructive, breathing Out)
- asthma
- chronic bronchiolitis
- cystic fibrosis
Respiratory Assessment - Restrictive Disease
> characterized by -1- and -2-
> Typical of a child that has -3-, thus affecting the -4- (e.g., -5-)
- reduced volumes
- expiratory flow rates
- trouble inhaling air
- volume
- pneumonia
Bronchiolitis
Def: a disease of the lower respiratory tract that causes -1- leading to obstruction of the -2-
> Typically noted among children -3- of age
- inflammation
- small respiratory airways
- < 3 years
Bronchiolitis
> Most cases result from a -1- (e.g., -2-, -3-, -4-, -5-, among others)
- viral infection
- RSV
- rhinovirus
- parainfluenza
- adenovirus
Bronchiolitis - S/S
> -1- symptoms lasting for several days
> moderate fever: -2-
- URI

Bronchiolitis - S/S
Gradual development of -1- (e.g., -2-, -3-, -4-, cyanosis, prolonged expiration)
- respiratory distress
- nasal flaring
- grunting
- intercostal retractions
Bronchiolitis - S/S
Respiratory Distress

- immunofluorescence assay (IFA)
- positive for RSV
- or flu
Bronchiolitis - Mgmt
