Intro to Resp

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

nose   turbonates (conchae) paranasal sinuses smell receptors nasolacrimal ducts  
🗑
pharynx   nasopharynx oropharynx laryngopharynx eustachian tubes  
🗑
external respiration   exchange of O2 and CO2 between lungs and environment  
🗑
Internal Respiration   Exchange of O2 and CO2 at the cellular level  
🗑
Bronchial tree   left and right bronchus bronchioles terminal bronchioles (alveolar ducts) alveoli  
🗑
Gas exchange in lungs   via diffusion  
🗑
blood from lungs then...   returns to heart via pulmonary veins for distribution to the body  
🗑
visceral pluera   thin, moist serous membrane that coverst the surface of each lung  
🗑
pariental pleura   thin, moist serous membrane that covers the thoracic cavity  
🗑
pleural cavity   airtight vacuum that contains negative pressure that helps keep lungs inflated  
🗑
right bronchus is   larger in diameter  
🗑
what allows air to be inhaled and exhaled   rhythmic movements of the chest wall, ribs, and muscles  
🗑
what regulates respiration   nervous control-medulla oblongata and pons of the brain chemoreceptors-in the carotid and aorta  
🗑
surfactant   reduces surface tension  
🗑
Right lung   more apt to recieve foreign body  
🗑
reasons you may perform extensive respiratory assessment   chronic respiration or cardiac conditions; history of respiratory impairment related to trauma; recent surgery or anesthesia  
🗑
subjective data   shortness of breath; dyspnea; cough  
🗑
objective data   expression, chest movement, and respirations; respiratory distress, wheezes, or orthopmea; hypoxia; adventitious breath sounds (sibilan wheezes, sibilant wheezes, sonorous wheezes, crackles, pleural friction rubs )  
🗑
chest radiographs (Roentgenogram) is used to...   visualize the lungs + major thoracic vessels; view alterations in size & location of pulmonary structures; identifies lesions, infiltration, foregn bodies, or fluid; shows disorder involving the parachyma or interstitial spaces;  
🗑
what can a Roentgenogram confirm   pneumothoraax, pneumonia, pleural effusion, and pulmonary edema  
🗑
before a roentgenogram, what must be removed   any jewelry  
🗑
what does Computed Tomography (CT) do   scans the lungs; can be viewed diagonal or cross-sectional requires patient teaching to decrease anxiety  
🗑
Pulonary Function Test (PFT) is....   performed to assess the large and small airways; obtain information on lung volume, ventilation, pulmonary spirometry, and gas exchange  
🗑
what information does a pulmonary function test obtain   lung volume, inspiratory compacity, and total lung capacity  
🗑
Mediastinoscopy   surgical endosopic procedure to obtain lumph nodes for biopsy for tumor diagnosis performed under general anesthesia  
🗑
Laryngoscopy   allows for direct or indirect visualization of larynx requires local or general anestesia  
🗑
Bronchoscopy   Exam for the tracheobronchial tree for abnormalities, tissue biopsy, secretions for cytological or bacteriological studies patient is treated as a surgical patient  
🗑
nursing interventions for a bronchoscopy   *informed consent must be signed *NPO until gag reflexes return *Placed in semi-flowlers position and turned to one side *monitored for signs of laryngeal edema or spasms *monitor sputum for signs of hemorrhage if biopsy is taken  
🗑
what are sputum specimens obtained for   microscopic evaluation  
🗑
guidlines for sputum collection   *Inhale and exhale 3xs, inhale swiftly, cough forcefully, and expectorate into the steril sputum container *provide hypertonic saline aerosol mist if unable to raise sputum *if necessary, obtain sample through endotracheal suctioning  
🗑
cytology studies   performed on sputum or pleural fluid to detect teh presence of abnormal or malignant cells  
🗑
thoracentesis   surgical perforation of the chest wall and pleural space with a needle for the aspiration of fluid  
🗑
nursing interventions for thoracentesis   *explain the procedure and obtain informed consent *procedure performed at bedside, sitting upright, and leaning over a bedside table or on side with affected side up  
🗑
Nursing interventions for thoracentesis   *monitor VS, general appearance, and respiratory status *risk for subsequent pulmonary edema due to fluid shifts if >1300mL removed within a 30 minute procedure *place PT on unaffected side after procedure *obtain CXR after procedure  
🗑
arterial blood gases (ABGs)   measure the lungs' ability to exchange o2 and co2 and the body's acid-base balance  
🗑
normal ABG   pH 7.35-7.45 PaCO2 35-45 mmHg PaCO2 80-100 mmHg HCO2 22-28 mEq/L SaO2 >95%  
🗑
oxygenation..carried in the bloodstream in two forms   oxygen dissolved in plasma-expressed as PaO2 oxygen combined with hemoglovin-expressed as SaO2 represents the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin  
🗑
ventilation is..   *respiratory component of acid-base balance *relationship between pH and PaCO2 *HCO3 is a measure of the metabolic component of acid-base *Kidneys respond to change in pH due to respiratory condition by wasting or retaining HCO3  
🗑
Allen's test is performed to...   check ulnar circulation before a radial artery stick *heparinized syringe to draw 3-5ml from artery *after obtained, pressure is held at the puncture site for five minutes *syringe is callped, labeled, placed in ice water and sent to lab for analysis  
🗑
Pulse oximetry monitoring is   noninvasive method for continuous monitorig of SaO2; used to assess small changes in the respiratory status; the prove measures the amound of light being absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and displays a percentage value  
🗑
a Sa02 of _____ is needed to adequately replentish oxygen in the _____   90-100% plasma  
🗑
An SaO2 below _____ is life threatening   70%  
🗑
Do not's with pulse ox   *attatch probe to extremity with diminished circulation *place probe over pulsating vascular bed *Avoid excess movement *hypothermia can affect readings *do not place in light  
🗑
