Q

Crackles

Study These Flashcards
A

Soft-high pitched discontinuous popping sounds, produced by fluids in the airways or alveoli, delayed reopening of collapsed alveoli, coarse. Due to inflammation, congestive heart failure,bronchitis, COPD. End of deep inspiration. Normal in infant

22
Q

Wheezes

Study These Flashcards
A

Continuous, musical sound, constricted by swelling, narrowing, secretions or tumor. Sibilant wheezes or sonorous wheezes. Asthma, tumors, build up of secretions.

23
Q

Arterial Blood gas and pH analysis

Study These Flashcards
A

Pressure exerted by oxygen and carbon dioxide. Adequacy of oxygenation, ventilation, perfusion. Normal result pH 7.35~.45 PCO2 35-45 mmHg, PO2 80-100 mmHg. Allens test

24
Q

Vital Capacity

Study These Flashcards
A

Amt of air displaced by maximal exhalation

25
Forced expiratory vital capacity
Amt of air expelled from a point of maximal inspiration to a point of maximal inspiration
26
Forced Inspiratory Vial Capacity
Amt of air inhaled from a point of maximal exhalation to a point of maximal expiration
27
Forced Expiratory Volume
Forced expiratory volume that can be expressed in 1,2 or 3 seconds in the first second of the FEVC maneuver
28
Total Lung Capacity
Amt of air contained within the lungs at maximum inspiration
29
Residual volume
Amt of air left in the lungs at maximal expiration
30
Peak Expiratory Flow Rate
Maximum flow attained during the forced expiratory maneuver
31
Thoracentesis
Procedure of puncturing the chest wall and aspirating pleural fluid
32
Diet plan
45-55% carbohydrates, 30-40% fat, 12-20% protein, rich in Vitamin A,B,C
33
Expectorants
Reduce the viscosity of the secretions/ Guaifenesin
34
Suppressants
Depress the cough reflex/ codeine -addictive/ dextromethorphan- non-addictive
35
Lozenges
Benzocaine- local anesthetic effect
36
Lower lobes
Trendelenburg
37
High fowler
Upper lobes
38
Hypoxemia
Insufficient oxygen in blood
39
Bronchodiliators
Open narrowed airway
40
Mucolytic agents
Liquefy or loosen thick secretions
41
Reduce inflammation
Corticosteroids
42
Nebulizers
Disperse fine particles of liquid medication into the deeper passages of the respiratory tract
43
Metered-dose inhaler MDI
Controlled dose of medication witch each compression of the canister
44
Nasal cannula
Low flow 1L/min = 24% 2L/min =28% 3L/min =32%
45
Simple mask
LF- 6-10L/min 35%-60% (5L/min minimum)
46
Partial rebreather
LF- 6-15 = 70%-90%
47
Non-rebreather mask
LF- 6-15L/min =60%-100%
48
Venturi mask
HIGH FLOW- 4-10L/min =24%-55%
49
Transtracheal oxygen delivery
Small catheter inserted to trachea
50
Pursed lip breathing
Diminishes carbon dioxide retention. Prolongs expiration, increase airway pressure, lessens the amt of airway trapping and resistance
