Respiratory PowerPoint Flashcards
under what age is diaphragm breathing since intercostal muscles are immature
6 years
do babies automatically switch to mouth breathing
no
main issue with Peds airway
size
swelling is much more dangerous since it is easily occluded
air way size
4mm
since the children have to have more effort to move air in what does that do
increase respiration rate
growing and metabolism is higher so what does that do
increase O2 needs so breathe faster
fever or infections does what
increase O2 demands so increase RR
infants have what which leads to them to tire quickly
less glycogen
trachea of children
shorter
angle of right bronchus
angle is more acute
hyperextended neck can lead to
airway collapse
growth of alveoli age
8 years old
reiteration sites
intercostal
subcostal
substernal
suprasternal
supracalviualr
mild signs of respiratory distress
restless
tachypena
dyspnea
diaphoresis
1st retrations seen are
intercostal
2nd retractions seen are
substernal and subcostal
reiterations mean
O2 exchange is not good so give O2
simple nursing intervention for respiratory distress
elevate HOB
s/s of early decomp
flaring
retrations
grunting
wheezing
hypertension
interventions for early decomp
O2
cpap
elevate HOB
grunt is doing what
maintaining PEEP to prevent alveoli from collapsing
head bob is doing what
attempting to get air in
since kids fatigue due to decreased glycogen stores this does what
lead to apnea
resp failure/ impending arrest
dysnpnea
bradypnea
cyanosis
stupor
coma
CNS changes
