Question
Answer
neonate, obligatory nose breathers-   nasal congestion is provlem  
🗑
infant basal metabolic rte much higher   metabolic needs increase with illness  
🗑
infants depend more ON   the MUSCLES of the diaphragm to breathe- abd distention is a problem it can cause resp distress  
🗑
nasal flaring and grunting   attempt to OPEN nares and maintain constant positive airway pressure C-PAP  
🗑
infants can not increase tidal volume   compensate for increased o2 demand by increasing respiratory rate  
🗑
SIGNS OF DISTRESS   begins  
🗑
retrations   the dravwing inward of soft tissue across an underlying bony prominence due to increased INSPIRATORY effort, retration ate described according to location adn classified according to degree or depth  
🗑
chest wall movement   synchronized of rise and fall of the upper chest wall and the abdomen, grade 0 - chest and abdmen rise and fall together, grade 1 - rise of chest lags behind the rise of the abdomen(slight delay), grade 2 - chest and abd rise and fall in see-saw pattern(  
🗑
nasa flaring   grade0- no nasal flaring seen, grade 1 - minimal flaring seen on inspiration, grade 2 - marked flaring seen  
🗑
expiratory grunting   grade 0- no grunting present, grade 1- grunting heard with stethoscope, grade2 -grunting heard with naked ear  
🗑
ABNORMAL BREATH SOUNDS   begins  
🗑
Rales   bubbling or rattling heard as a result of air moving thru fluid in the airways , heard on INSPIRATION  
🗑
rhonchi   harsh sounds heard as a result of air moving thru TENACIOUS fluids or CONSTRICTED airways, heard primarily on EXhallation(fluids moving thru larger spaces)  
🗑
wheezing   whistling sound heard in the airways as a result of constriction, may be EITHER inspiratory or expiratory(fxn of decreased lumen)  
🗑
stridor   harsh crowing sound on INSPIRATION as a result of airway constriction(fxn of decreased lumen)  
🗑
vesucular breathing   normal quiet , rushing sounds heard as air moves through the terminal broncioles and alveoli  
🗑
brinchial breathing   normal loud, hollow blowing sounds as air moves through trachea and maain bronchi  
🗑
ASSESSMENT OF RESP DISTRESS   assess for resp status and patency of the arway, assess for work of breathing , effectiveness of resp effort (o2 sat)  
🗑
monitor/observe   rate(depends age, & as reps rate increses depth decreases)depth, pattern (use of diaphragm+access muscles, retractions (present or ab), nasal flaring, use of diaphragm, use of accessory muscles  
🗑
auscultate/listen   breath sounds= rales, fhonci, wheezes, stridor?, lung sounds=present, equal, absent,loud, soft?, grunting=none , audible with stethoscope, ear?  
🗑
asess oxygenation   skin color, pallor, cyanosis, mucus membranes, nail beds  
🗑
observe behavior   restlessness, irritability, apprehension, lethargy, REMEMBER tachy, hyper irritable=early , brady, hypo, lethargic=late  
🗑
monitor heart rate   count &compare to baseline  
🗑
