Unit 6
31
Intrapleural
Pressure in the plural cavity around the lungs
Intrapulmonary Pressure
Pressure in the lung
Equal to atmosphere
Normal tidal volume
500 mL
Compliance
Lung stretching
Atelectasis
Partial lung collapse
Lung recoil
Opposite of compliance
Easing of stretching important for expiration
Hemoglobin
97% O2 is bound
Factors affecting O2 transoirt
Cardiac output
Erythrocytes
Hematocrit
Excercise
CO2 transport
Bicarbonate in RBC
CO2 in HGB
Carbonic acid in plasma
Medulla
Responds strongly to CO2 concentration and stimulates increased respiration
Emphysema
Controlled by O2 concentrations
CO2 chronically elevated
High O2 levels may stop breathing
Lungs at birth
Fluid drains
CO2 increases and then first breath
2 weeks to full infation
Factors decreasing adult lung functioning (Decreases)
Decreasing: Tissue elasticity Gas exchange Cough reflex Cilia movement Muscle/Bone strength Immune system Efficiency in eating
Environmental factors of Oxygenation
Temp
Pollution
Altitude
Lifestyle factors of Oxygenation
Exercise
Employment
Foreign substance inhalation
Hyperventilation and Oxygenation
PO2 rises
CO2 falls
Bronchioles dilate
Blood flow increases
Upper Airway Obstruction
Nost Phar and Lar
Caused by food, tongue falling back, Wet sounding secretions
Lower Airway obstruction
Bronchi and lungs
Caused by mucus and exudate
RR across lifespan
Neonate 40-80
Infant 30
Preschool 25
Adolescent and up 12-20
Pediatric Oxygenation diseases
Infection
Choking
Cystic Fibrosis
Asthma
Older Adults Oxygenation Diseases
Infection Emphysema COPD Pneumonia Smoking/Chemical Alpha1Antitrypsin
Older Adult Pneumonia symptoms
Absent fever Confusion Decreased appetite Increased VS Decreased O2
