(Print)
decrease inflammation in airways
propel trapped material toward upper airway to be expelled via cough
result in decreased airway narrowing during expiration & prevent collapse of small airways; creates smaller opening for air movement
delivers highest concentration of O2 via a low flow mask; used in emergent situations
oxygenated capillary blood passes through body tissues
hyperoxygenate for a minimum of
max amt of air forcefully exhaled
death of heart tissue due to lack of O2
movement of air in & out of lungs
lower chambers of heart
inserting needle into pleural space to aspirate fluid air or both
help loosen & mobilize secretions
uses dry powder form of med; actuated by patient's inspiration
alternative to means of this is important in patients with tracheostomy
used to maintain a patent airway & remove secretions
heart is unable to pump sufficient blood supply
in skeletal & cardiac muscle fibers; released after heart injury
natural pacemaker of heart
max amount of time to suction
important part of preventing respiratory infections
decreased O2 supply to the heart due to insufficient blood supply
continuous musical sounds; due to constriction , such as asthma
proved effective in reducing cardiac arrest related deaths
alveoli collapse
bronchodilator; may cause tremors, palpitations, HTN
gas exchange
best position for dyspnea to help promote respiration
soft, high-pitched intermittent popping sounds; indicate fluid
used during tracheal suctioning
21% of oxygen
provides continuous mild air pressure to keep airways open
used to administer O2 via mechanical ventilator
promotes improved oxygenation of posterior dependent areas of lungs
open narrowed airways
amt of blood pumped per min. SV X HR
major risk factor in cardiopulmonary diseases
if disconnected from drainage unit, submerge in bottle of sterile saline or water; clamping could cause PTX
must monitor serum levels; bronchodilator'
amount of blood forced out of the LV with each contraction
acts as reservoir; used with MDI
phospholipid; helps to prevent alveoli collapse
measures vol. of air exhaled or inhaled
used to measure severity of asthma & degree of mismanagement
inadequate amount of O2 available to cells
insufficient O2 in blood
depress cough reflex
upper chambers of heart
to be done prior to suctioning the patient
helps to protect respiratory mucosa; not recommended for 4L or less
max suctioning for adults
belly breathing; helps to control breathing
measure CO2 level in expired gas
drugs that facilitate the removal of respiratory tract secretions by thinning them
measures peripheral arterial oxyHgb saturation of arterial blood (SpO2)
small air sacs; site of gas exchange
