🗑
What is perfusion   Process by which oxygenated capillary blood passes thru body tissues  
🗑
What regulates respiration   The medulla is the respiratory center.stimulated by increase in CO2 and H+ ions. Chemoreceptors in aortic arch & carotid sensitive ABG and BP that will activate medulla. Stimulation of medulla increases rate & depth of ventilation.  
🗑

🗑
What are Pleural friction rub   Continuous dry grating sound caused by inflammation of pleural surfaces and loss of pleural fluid  
🗑
What is Pulse oximetry   Measures arterial blood oxyhemoglobin saturation; Use in monitoring pts with oxygen therapy or at risk for hypoxia. Desaturation indicates gas exchange abnormalities. Range of 95-100% considered normal  
🗑
What are nursing interventions for respiratory patients   Reducing anxiety, maintain good nutrition, promote comfort (positioning), maintaining adequate fluid intake, promoting proper breathing  
🗑
What are some breathing techniques   Deep breathing – such as in hypoventilation; make each breath deep to move bottom ribs breathing in thru nose and out thru mouth; Incentive spirometry; Pursed lip breathing; Abdominal & diaphragmatic breathing  
🗑
