med Surg test 3 Flashcards
(124 cards)
what is gas exchange
the process in which o2 and. co2 is exchange in the body
o2 is transported from the lungs to the blood
co2 is transported from the blood to the lungs
what is oxygenation
the process where oxygen is getting to the body
hypoxia means
a decrease in o2 in the cellular tissues
hypoxemia mean
A decrease in o2 in the blood
what does ventilation means
the movement of air in the atmosphere to the alveoli
diffusion
the process of o2 and co2 moves to an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration
perfusion
blood flow to the tissues and organs
shunting
in adequate ventilation and adequate perfusion
-pulmonary embolisms
what is atelectasis
the collapse of the alveoli
-leads to pnemonia
-hold onto fluid
what are the causes of atelectasis
- obtructive
- in adequate activation of surfactant
3.compression
- not meeting o2 needs
what are the risk factors for atelectasis
- pre-op pts who are immobile, abdominal dissension
- anestia greater than 4 hrs
chronic lung disease
lung cancer
morbid obesity
smoking
plural effusions
Ng tube placements
what are the signs and symptoms of atelectasis
dyspnea
coughs
fever
leukocytes
diminished breathe sounds
sputum production
the use of accessory muscles often happen because of
significant respiratory distress
as the nurse what type of mangement should be done for atelectasis?
- use the incentive spirometry
- turns
- mobilization
- nebulazier and bronchidlators
5.CPT - splinting when coughing
what is the goal for the pt using an incentive spirometer? what are the risk if the person is below the goal
1000-1500
risk for pneumonia or atelectasis
as a nurse with o2 therapy what mangement practice should be meet? what are some safety tips?
- monitoring for decrease in o2
-mointer skin integrity - asses need for o2
do not use protrolleum items
what does a endotracheal tube? how long should it be used for?
ideal for short term use < 10 day
-sereves as a temporary airway
what gives you 100% fio2
trach
non rebreather mask
endo-tube
what does a tracheotomy ? how long should it be used for? what are some safety practice?
- long term use >21 days
-surgical opening made into the trachea for breathing
-avoid showers, sprays, and powders
what is COPD
- a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
-NOT FULLY REVERSIBLE
-air flow limitation is progressive - the pt is breathing in 02 but holding onto c02
-this pt will have high levels of c02
what is the rule for chronic bronchitis
cough sputum for 3 months wishing 2 years in a row
what a the risk factors with copd
Smoking
- how many years?
- how many packs
packs* years =
environmental smoke( second hand smoke)
occupational dust and chemicals ( where you work the type of environment)
infections
APlhia 1 antitrpisin deficiency
what are the signs a symptoms of COPD
dysoena
use of assessor muscles
chronic coughs
sputum production
what is the criteria for COPD
FEV1 <80%
FEV1/FVC ration less than 70%
