Respiratory (Oxygenation) & Cardiac power point Flashcards
how to calculate pulse pressure
systolic MINUS distolic pressure
normal pulse presure
40
A pulse pressure below 40 indicates
inadequate circulation
pulse pressure above 40 indicates
stiff arteries and heart muscle
mean arterial pressure must be at least
60
all heart sounds are on the ______ except _____
left, aortic
heart sounds of __ __ are considered _________
S3 S4, abnormal
assess feet and legs for
pulse and color
swelling
temperature
numbness or pain
hair growth
who carry oxygenated blood
arteries
who carry unoxygenated blood
Veins
arterial disease treatment
rest with legs down
venous disease treatment
rest with legs UP
cardiac irregularities Assessment findings
irregular heartbeat
difficulty breathing
dizziness with possible loss of consciousness
Blood returns to the
right atrium
right ventricle
pumps blood into the lungs to get re-oxygenated.
Angina is
Chest pain due to decreased oxygen to the heart.
amgina treatment
rest
Nitro tablet sublingual. May repeat Q 5 minutes X 3
F STILL HAVING CHEST PAIN AFTER first 5 MINUTES:
CALL 911.
Cardiac Arrest is
Injury to heart muscle due to lack of oxygen
Cardiac Arrest Symptoms
Chest pain
Nausea/Vomiting
Sweating
“Feeling of doom”
SOA
Treatment for Heart Attack (MEDS)
remeber mona
Oxygen
Nitro
Anticoagulant (ASA)
Morphine
Modifiable Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Lipids
inactivity
smoking
diabetes
HTN
stress
obesity
The upper airways include
nose
nasal cavity
sinuses
pharynx
The lower respiratory system consists of
trachea
the mainstem bronchi
lobar
segmental
subsegmental
Hyperventilation causes
Hypoxemia
Hypoxemia is
blood oxygen is low
Hypoxemia are usually caused by
medication, CNS, high altitude, heat, exercise, panic, fear or anxiety
Hypoventilation causes
Hypoxia
Hypoxia is
poor tissue oxygenation
Lung Elasticity causes
alveoli loose their elastic recoil
Lung Elasticity is seen with
amphysema copd
Lung Compliance is
ease of lung inflation
reduced by edema
loss of surfactant or scar tissue
Airway Resistance is
anything causing restriction in the airways
types of COPD
Emphysema
Chronic bronchitis
Asthma
Pneumonia
Atelectasis
Asthma is
chronic disorder that causes inflammation and constriction of the airways
Pneumonia is
an infection in the lungs caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
Atelectasis results from
blockage or collapse of air passages in at least one lobe of the lungs
Factors Influencing Pulmonary Function: ENVIROMENT
Stress

Altitude
Temperature and Humidity
Allergic reactions
Factors Influencing Pulmonary Function: LIFESTYLE
Pregnancy
Occupational hazards
Nutrition
Exercise
Substance Abuse
Medications affecting pulmonary function
Anesthetics
Opioids
Antianxiety
Magnesium sulfate
Beta blockers in asthmatics
Pathophysiological Conditions affecting pulmonary function: Upper Respiratory Infections
Influenza
Pathophysiological Conditions affecting pulmonary function: Lower Respiratory Infections
Pneumonia

TB
Acute bronchitis
other factors affecting pulmonary function
Fractured ribs or kyphosis
pneumothorax
RISK FACTORS for pulmonary/ cardiovascular function

Signs of distress
Nasal Flaring
Retractions
Use of accessory muscles
Grunting
Body position – Orthopnea difficulty breathing lying down
Stridor – high pitched inspiratory sound caused by partial obstruction of trachea or larynx
Wheezing – musical sound caused by air passing through partially obstructed small airways (asthma)
Edema
Abnormal Lung Sounds
Crackles
Rhonchi
Wheezes
Stridor
Friction rub
Grunting
CPAP is
machine that uses mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while you sleep
