PULMONARY PERFUSION   blood flow through the pulmonary vasculature  
🗑
RESPIRATION   gas exchange between: air-blood blood-cells  
🗑
RHONCHI   low pitched, wheezing or snoring sound on auscultation. Associated with partial airway obstruction  
🗑
STRIDOR   harsh high pitched sound on INSPIRATION, secondary to UPPER AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. Usually heard w/out steth.  
🗑
TIDAL VOLUME (VT OR TV)   normal breathing, volume inspired-expired w. each breath  
🗑
VENTILATION   mvmt of air through airways  
🗑
AGE RELATED RESPIRATORY CHANGES   reduced alveolar surface area ...loss of alveolar elasticity...reduced tidal flow & vital capacity...= reduced O2-CO2 exchange / DECREASED O2 DIFFUSION  
🗑

🗑
ARDS   ACUTE RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME  
🗑
S/S ARDS   tachynea, dyspnea, progressive hypoxemia, following lung trauma, shock, bypass, multiple blood transfusions...  
🗑
COPD   dyspnea with expiratory wheezing  
🗑
WHAT CONDITIONS predispose / often show ORTHOPNEA?   orthopnea may be found in pts. w/ heart disease and occassionally in COPD (p.495)  
🗑
The presence of both inspiratory and expiratory wheezing usually signifies....   ...Asthma (if the patient does not have heart failure) (p496)  
🗑
profuse amount of purulent sputum (thick, yellow - green - or rust colored)or a change in sputum color is s/s of.....   Respiratory Bacterial Infection  
🗑
Thin mucoid sputum results from...   viral bronchitis  
🗑
pink tinged mucus suggests...   lung tumor  
🗑
profuse, frothy, pink mucus, often welling up in throat may indicate...   pulmonary edema  
🗑
