Respiratory Problem Neonate Flashcards
Trace the blood flow of oxygenated blood from the mother to the fetus:
Umbilical veins > ductus venosus > Liver > IVC > Right atrium > foramen ovale > left atrium > left ventricle > ascending aorta
What are the 8 signs and symptoms of respiratory distress in the newborn?
Tachypnea Retractions Alar flaring Grunting Cyanosis Decreased breath sounds with rales or rhonchi Pallor apnea
Trace the blood flow of unoxygenated blood from the fetus to the mother:
Unoxygenated blood from the SVC > Right atrium > Right ventricle > Ductus arteriosus
More oxygenated blood goes to two organs:
Brain
Heart
The normal respiratory rate in neonatal
30-60 breaths per minutes
When retractions are present these muscles are involved:
Intercostals
Subcostals
Sternal
Suprasternal
Expiring thru a closed glottis to produce a FRC that will expand the alveoli at the end of the expiration
Grunting
