Question
Answer
person breaths in air but it gets stuck in their lungs and can't exhale all the air from their lungs, resulting in the barrel-chested look, in a patient with   COPD  
🗑
Because patients w/COPD fully exhale, there is a build-up of   CO2 in the lungs  
🗑
The drive for a person to breath islcaused by the low CO2 levels which stimulates the body to   intake more oxygen/air.  
🗑
If you give a person with COPD high level of __, more CO2 will build up in their body further decreasing their respiratory rate.   oxygen  
🗑
In newborns born very prematurely, growth of the blood vessels supplying the __ may stop for a period of time & when growth resumes, it occurs in a disorganized fashion.   retina  
🗑
during disorganized rapid growth, the small blood vessels may bleed and eventually lead to __   scarring  
🗑
may also increase the risk of retinopathy of prematurity   high blood oxygen levels  
🗑
In the most severe cases,disorganized rapid growth may ultimately result in __ of the retina from the back of the eye and loss of vision   detachment  
🗑
involves abnormal development of lung tissue, characterized by inflammation and scarring in the lungs   bronchopulmonary dysplasia  
🗑
bronchopulmonary dysplasia develops in __ __ __ who have received high levels of oxygen for long periods of time or who have been on a ventilator during treatment for respiratory distress syndrome   severely ill infants  
🗑
bronchopulmonary dysplasia is __ __ in infants born early (premature) whose lungs were not fully developed at birth.   more common  
🗑
insufficient oxygen   hypoxia  
🗑
can be administered via endotracheal intubation, nasal cannula, masks, tents, & hoods   oxygen  
🗑
O2 delivered at high concentration/prolonged periods of time can cause hypoventilation, particularly w/COPD leading to CO2 retention &   acidosis  
🗑
O2 delivered at high concentration/prolonged periods of time can lead to   confusion  
🗑
O2 delivered at high concentration/prolonged periods of time can lead to changes in the __ of the lungs   alveoli  
🗑
O2 delivered at high concentration/prolonged periods of time can lead to __ in premature infants   blindness  
🗑
smoking, matches & electrical equipment that may spark are __ __ in rooms were O2 is used   not allowed  
🗑
act by relaxing smooth muscles of bronchial tree, thereby relieving bronchospasm & increasing vital capacity of lungs   bronchodilators  
🗑
bronchodilators are used in symptomatic treatment of acute resp. conditions such as   asthma/COPD  
🗑
potent bronchodilators that increase vital capacity & decrease airway resistance   sympathomimetics  
🗑
sympathomimetics work on smooth muscle in lungs to cause   relaxation  
🗑
sympathomimetics can affect the entire __ nervous system   sympathetic  
🗑
ease of use, efficacy & portability are all   advantages of MDIs  
🗑
manufacturers are DC productions of MDIs due to the   ban on CFC  
🗑
provide medication only under pressure of inspiration, rather than through compression valve   breath-actuated inhalers  
🗑
andrenergic drug side effects related to __ incl. nervousness, tremor, dizziness   CNS

🗑
Xanthines, dosage based on response & drug levels; IV slowly   aminophylline  
🗑
Xanthines, tabs ER   theophylline (Uniphyl)  
🗑
Xanthines, caps ER   theophylline (Theo-24)  
🗑
for increasing rate of absorption Xanthines should be taken with   full glass of water on empty stomach  
🗑
to decrease irritation caused by Xanthines   take with meals  
🗑
IM injection is contraindication for   administration of Xanthines  
🗑
side effects related to __ __ incl. nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, abdominal cramps, anorexia, or diarrhea   GI distress
