Respiratory pt 1 Flashcards
what are some conditions that can cause orthopnea
left ventricular heart failure
pulmonary edema
describe cheyne-stokes respirations
alternating apnea and hyperventilation
what is the purpose of kussmaul breathing
to unload CO2
central sleep apnea
defect in respiratory centre
what is exudative pleural effusion
fluid in pleural cavity has proteins - inflammation, infection, malignancies
true or false:
sypathetic nervous system constricts the bronchioles
false - it dilates the bronchioles
Hyperventilation
breathing very fast and deeply, exhaling more air than you take in
when does surfactant production occur
late in gestation
name some signs of dyspnea
flaring nostrils
accessory muscle use
what kind of disease would have a low forced vital capacity
restrictive
what does stridor signal
airway obstruction
apnea
temporary cessation of breathing
name 4 symptoms of ARDS
dyspnea
sever hypoxemia
decreased lung compliance
diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates
what is a diffuse pulmonary infiltrates
anything more dense than air
what is hypercapnia
having too much CO2 in your blood
what triggers periods of hyperventilation with cheyne-stokes respirations
rising levels of CO2
forced vital capacity test
deep breath in and then exhale forcibly
pneumothorax
air in intrapleural space
what is dyspnea
difficulty breathing
what things can crackles in resp signmal
pneumonia
pulmonary fibrosis
what are the 4 kinds of hypoxia
anemic
ischemic
histotoxic
hypoxemic
what keeps fluid from moving into alveoli from capillaries
surfactant
obstructive sleep apnea
relaxation of muscles that support soft tissues of throat
what are the two main types of acute obstructive airway disease
acute bronchitis
asthma
what does hyperventilation result in
hypocapnia
what are teh typical treatments for asthma
bronchodilators
corticosteroids
(via a nebulizer typically)
minute ventilation test
total air in or out in one minute
what kind of disease would have a low forced expiratory volume
obstructive
what occurs with rapid deep breathing
CO2 flushed out
pH rises
what does ARDS stand for
acute/adult respiratory distress syndrome
what can a low PCO2 cause with regards to breathing
hypoventilation and can cause periods of apnea
what are the two kinds of sleep apnea
obstructive
central
describe asthma
episodic acute airway obsturction resulting from stimuli that would not elicit a response in non-asthmatic individuals
hypoxia vs hypoxemia
hypoxia: low oxygen levels in your tissues
hypoxemia: low oxygen levels in your blood
only having water in the alveoli would cause what and when
alveolar collapse during expiration
describe the early acute phase of extrinsic asthma
narrowing of airway that peaks within 15-30 mins (bronchospasm mainly)
anemic hypoxia
too few RBCs or RBCs with abnormal Hb
leakage of water, protein, inflammatory cells and RBCs into interstitum and alveolar lumen
This is known as what
hyaline membrane disease
ischemic hypoxia
blood circulation impaired
in obstructive diseases is forced expiratory volume high or low
low
what is the most important stimulus of surfactant
normal ventilation
what is the proliferative phase of lung injuries
replacement of type 1 and 2 cells
what kind of asthma typically goes into remission in early adulthood
extrinsic
what things can cause clubbing
diseases that interfere with oxygenation
what does hypoventilation result in
hypercapnia
Hyperpnea
breathing more deeply but not necessarily faster
