Respiratory Flashcards
What are the part of the upper respiratory?
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Paranasal Sinuses
The volume of air inspired and expired during normal quiet breathing is?
Tidal volume
The site of external respiration is?
Alveolar-capillary membrane
Hypoventilation is?
Decreased filling of alveoli leading to high blood (CO@) and low blood PH
A 55yr male presents to the hospital with SOB, coughing, difficulty breathing with an increase in activity, and wheezing. Upon examination his skin has a pink he and he has a barrel-chest appearance. He reports recent weight loss with no significant changes to his eating patterns. He also reports a 40yr history of smoking. What is likely his diagnosis?
Emphysema
A 75yr old female presents to the ER after her family found her unconscious in her bedroom. She demonstrates regular deep inspirations followed by inadequate expirations. What type of breathing patterns is this?
Apneustic
A 75yr old female presents to the ER after family found her unconscious in her bedroom. She demonstrates regular deep inspirations followed by inadequate expirations. What is the prognosis of this type of breathing pattern?
Poor
True or False
Clubbing is often acquired and can be reversed if the underlying causes is treated?
True
According to the unit material what are typical symptoms of respiratory disease?
Abnormal Sputum
Describe pleural effusion?
The accumulation of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura
What conditions may result in hypoventilation?
Obesity
Stroke
Medications like opioids and benzos
What respiration s are characterized by regular deep inspirations with an inspiratory pause and then followed by inadequate respirations and is often a sign of sever brain injury?
A premature newborn at 28 weeks gestation demonstrates difficulty with breathing after birth. The nurse notes labored efforts, such as “grunting” sounds with each breath. The infant is diagnosed with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) due to underdeveloped lungs.
What is the mechanism of action of this substance secreted by the implicated cells?
Breaks hydrogen bonds and limits water surface tension
A premature newborn at 28 weeks gestation demonstrates difficulty with breathing after birth. The nurse notes labored efforts, such as “grunting” sounds with each breath. The infant is diagnosed with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) due to underdeveloped lungs.
True or False
The newborn can be given a synthetic formula of this substance to aid their breathing and lung function.
True
A premature newborn at 28 weeks gestation demonstrates difficulty with breathing after birth. The nurse notes labored efforts, such as “grunting” sounds with each breath. The infant is diagnosed with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) due to underdeveloped lungs.
What substance do the implicated cell secrete?
Surfactant
A premature newborn at 28 weeks gestation demonstrates difficulty with breathing after birth. The nurse notes labored efforts, such as “grunting” sounds with each breath. The infant is diagnosed with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS) due to underdeveloped lungs.
What lung cells do you suspect are not developed and are contributing to the respiratory distress in this infant?
Type II alveolar cells
What is the typical symptoms of respiratory disease?
Dyspnea
What would be expected from a person with a restrictive lung disease?
Decreased FVC and TLC
FEV1 that is normal or slightly reduced
Ratio of FEV1 to FVC is normal or increased
True or False
Obstructive diseases are generally characterized by difficulty with exhalation, but can also affect inhalation
True
True or False
Restrictive disease pathophysiology may be related to fibrosis or pulmonary tissue.
True
