Q

 Definition of oxygenation and gas exchange

A

 The process of providing cells with oxygen through the respiratory system, which is accomplished by pulmonary ventilation, respiration, and perfusion

18
Q

What happens when gas is exchanged?

A

 02 moves from the lungs to the bloodstream CO2 passes from the blood to the lungs

19
Q

 What is at the end of each bronchiole and what does it do?

A

Alveoli where the lungs in the blood exchange 02+ CO2

20
Q

 How many times does this happen per minute? Respiratory rate.

A

12 to 20 is the normal rate

21
Q

Inspiration

A

 Air is drawn in and chest cavity expands

22
Q

Expiration

A

Air moves out and chest cavity become smaller

23
Q

If a patient cannot ventilate on their own, what do you do?

A

Bag valve mask

24
Q

What may cause a patient to stop breathing?

A

Medication overdose
 Spinal cord injury
 Anesthesia

25
How often should you bag valve mask pump?
Once every five seconds or 12 to 20 times per minute
26
Oxygenation who should you see first?
 Apneic or obstructed patient
27
What does surfactant do?
 Surfactant increases compliance in the lungs
28
85 to 95% 02 what do we do?
 Apply a nasal cannula begin at 2 L a minute increase to 6 L a minute
29
80 to 85% 02. What do we do?
Apply a Venturi mask 4 to 6 L a minute anything over 4 L will dry out
30
Less than 80% 02 what do we do?
 Apply a non-rebreather at 10 to 15 L per minute
31
A person is apneic. What do we do?
Apply a bag valve mask 
32
When do you use humidification?
Giving oxygen greater than 4 L a minute and infants always need humidification
33
Wheezing
Cause – airway narrowing, or bronchoconstriction Sound – whistling
34
Stridor
Causes – airway obstruction  Tracheal inflammation  Sound – wheezing in upper airway
35
Crackles
Sound – rice, crispy treats  Causes – fluid in lungs
36
Broncovesicular
Sound – normal breathing sound
37
Oxygenation – diagnostic test
ABG - tells how much CO2 + O2 in the blood Chest X-ray - non-invasive want to make sure lungs are clear
38
Oxygenation – prevention
 Education – Hand hygiene – Stop smoking – Vaccination – Deep breathing – Coughing
39
Oxygenation – secondary – screening
– Auscultating lung sounds – CT scan
40
Oxygenation - Tertiary - Treatment
– Positioning – Medication – Administering 02  - nutrition
41
Oxygenation – poor ventilation
– Give breaths  Adult – 12 to 20 breaths  Baby – 30 to 60 breaths
42
Oxygenation – education
Incentive spirometer – prevent adelecticis Pursed lip breathing – exhale CO2  Cough and deep breathing
43
What is cellular regulation?
Functions within a cell to maintain homeostasis in the way it produces an intracellular response, including horror, moans, Cito, Keynes, and neurotransmitters.
