Test #3 Flashcards
Systolic BP > 140, Diastolic BP >90
Hypertension
Decreased blood flow to kidneys, release of renin, renin converted to angiotensin, causes adrenals to secrete aldosterone, causes retention of sodium and release of potassium
CHF Fluid rention - Water follows sodium
Fever, flank pain, leukocytosis in urine, dysuria
Pyelonephritis
Hematuria, dark urine, edema, hypertension, initial strep infection, proteinuria, hypoproteinemia
glomerulonephritis
Increase BUN, uric acid, creatinine, low Ph, abnormal electrolyte levles, chronic anemia
renal failure
Low volumes during PFT, lesion on alveoli, internal chest wall, external chest wall, occurs during inspiration, difficult to fully fill lungs with air
Restrictive pulmonary disease
ARDS, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary edema, empysema, obesity, pregnancy, scoilosis
Examples of restrictive pulmonary disease
Low flow rates during PFT, lesion usually in the airways, problem during exhalation, difficult to exhale all the air in the lungs
Obstructive pulmonary disease
COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis
Examples of obstructive pulmonary disease
Obstruction is caused by
mucosal edema, bronchospasm, production of thick mucus
Result of viral infection, laryngeal spasm - especially in young children, loud, high-pitched inspiratory sounds
Croup
Viral infection, epiglottis swells and blocks airflow into lungs - usually in older children, stridor, drooling, medical emergency
Epiglottitis
Asthma triggers
Allergens, infections, stress, emotion, noxious fumes, cold air, over-exertion
A reversible inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles
Asthma
Respiratory distress, tachypnea, SOB, wheezing, dyspnea, cough, cyanosis
Asthma attack
Asthma treatment
albuterol, xoponex, bronchodilator, oxygen therapy
