T/F: Babies will be breathing faster than an adult
True
Up to 44/min in infants
How does infection increase the respiratory rate?
Infection causes faster metabolism → need to burn more/ need energy in the face of infection → so pulmonary system also compensates because body needs more oxygen → thus ↑ respiratory rate
High levels of acid present in the blood
Acidosis
How does acidosis affect the respiratory system?
Acidosis → produces a lot of carbonic acid (one major form of acid) and if not removed will cause injury to the body
Low levels of O2 in the blood
Hypoxemia
How does heart failure affect the respiratory system (inc difficulty in breathing?
Left side of the heart fails to pump → damming of blood in left ventricle → damming in left atrium → blood and fluid will go back upstream to pulmonary bed causing it to be flooded → low oxygenation → compromised O2 and CO2 exchange (in the capillary beds) → hypoxemia → difficulty breathing → ↑ respiratory rate
Low levels of thyroid hormones = ?
slow metabolism which can also affect breathing pattern
T/F: Drug such as anesthetic drugs/ pain reliever speeds up the heart
False
Anesthetic drugs/ pain reliever slow down the heart
T/F: Hyperpnea is deeper than tachypnea
True
T/F: Occasional sighing is not normal
False
Asthma has a problem in air entry. It also has a problem in expiration of air
a. TF
b. FT
c. TT
d. FF
b. FT
T/F: Asthmatic patients have bigger lungs than normal people
True
T/F: When Cheynes-Stokes is seen in a patient, it is considered a medical emergency.
True
Process of Ketoacidosis
D/t too much rigor in the body → poor sourcing of fuel leads to the body sourcing from ketones, with acid becoming a byproduct
