airway

QuestionAnswer
_________is commonly referred to as ventilation or breathing. respiration
name the 4 components in respiration pulmanary, external , internal and cellular
the most common causes of airway obstruction in a altered mental status is the tongue
_________ is a mechanical process of moving air in and out of lungs pulmonary ventilation
____________ gas exchange process that occurs between alveoli and pulmonary capillaries external respiration
____________gas exchange process occurs between the cells and the systemic capillaries internal respiration
__________ (aerobic metabolism) occurs in the cell cellular respiration
name the two passage ways at the end of the pharynx trachea and esophagus
the upper airway consest of nose and mouth pharynx epiglottis larynax
lower airway consets of trachea bronchi and broncioles lungs and diaphragm
durning breathing the diaphragm and intercostal muscles_________ contract
the diaphram moves _______ the intercostal muscles move_______ and _____ durning inhalation down, up and out
the diaphram moves ______ and the intercostal muscles________ causing exhalation up, relax
chemoreceptors continuously monitor levels of ________, carbon dioxide, and _____ in the arterial blood oxygen Ph
DRG stands for dorsal respirtory group
VRG stands for ventral respiratory group
healthy people breathe on a _______ drive hypercarbic
the chemoreceptors become insensitve to carbon dixoide in what kind of respirtory disease. HINT: hypoxic drive COPD
_______ is the process by which the blood and the cells become saturated with o2 oxygenation
an inadequate amount of oxygen being delivered to the cells is called hypoxia
name at least 5 signs of mild to moderate hypoxia tachypenea dyspnea pale cool clammy skin tachycardia elevation in BP restlessness/agitaion confusion headache
Name at least 5 signs of severe hypoxia tachypena dyspnea cyanosis tachy-disrhymias confusion loss of coordinaiton sleepy head bobs slow reaction time altered mental status
In newborns a sign of early hypoxia is bradycardia
Where do you look on the body for signs of hypoxia, (cyanosis) lips, mouth, nose, fingernail beds, conjunctiva and oral mucosa
ventlation on a child it is best to _______ under the neck. pad
________ narrowest porthion of the upper airway in a child less then 10 cricoid catilage
_______ is the most common cause of cardiac arrest in children hypoxia

To aviod potential spinal cord damage in a Pt. with suspected spinal injuries how would open the airway jaw-thrust maneuver
Do not suction longer then 15secs
______ is a sound like a crow cawing, caused by narrowing of the opening in the trachea and the spasming of the larynax crowing
_________ _________ is defined as the air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation residual volume
__________ is a semicirular device or hard plastic hold the tongye away from the back of the airway oropharyngeal airway
Signs of inadequate breathing: rate rhythm quality and depth
slow breathing is called bradypena
fast breathing is called tachypena
adequate resp + adequate tidal vol = adequate breathing
inadequate resp + adequate tidal vol= inadequate breathing
What are the 3 mainconsideration when using a device for artifical ventilaiton good mask seal must deliver adequate volume to inflate the lungs must have a connect for simultaneous o2 delivery
Children and infants ventilate at 12-20 per min @ 3sec
adults with a pulse ventialte at 10-12 per min or every 6 sec
rate of ventilation in a newborn w/pulse is 40-60 per min
a ______ is a surgical opening in the front of the neck that may be permentant or temporary stoma
_________ _______ is a curved hollow tube made of rubber, plastic, or metal - inserteded into the stoma to keep it open tracheostomy tube
