Respiratory (test 3)

small, hairlike projections

absence of breathing

red blood cells

• decreased cough reflex

• inhibited lung expansion

• mm are not as moist

• loss of normal lung recoil

Low oxygen in the blood

high amounts of carbon dioxide in the blood

Decreased lung capacity

• arthritis causing stiffness of chest wall

• scoliosis decreases lung capacity

Problems moving air in and out

• Asthma

• emphysema

• chronic bronchitis

• COPD

Removal of pleural fluid via needle into the chest wall and pleural space

300-700

difficulty breathing

Hoarseness and loss of voice

• if lasting more than 2 weeks could be throat cancer

• lung or heart disease

Croaking sound on auscultation

• obstruction in airways

• admin oxygen

• reassure the patient

• pursed lip breathing

• high fowler's position

low levels of oxygen in the tissues

Arterial blood gas arterial oxygen below 50 partial pressure of carbon dioxide above 50

Caloric

3000 mL

3 days

nosebleed

• Have patient sit forward and apply direct pressure pinching the nose just below the bone for 10-15 min

• Cold compress can also help

sore throat/ inflammation of the pharynx

Could indicate bleeding

Disorder where the patient stops breathing several times during sleep

• usually the tongue blocking the airway

• CPAP machine used at night to treat

Surgical incision made for insertion of breathing tube

Sterile

• auscultate lungs before and after

• inflammation of the lungs

• viral less severe than bacterial

• people 65 and older can get vaccine

30-40

-Collapse of alveoli in lungs

• reversible

• diminished breath sounds

• lesions on lung tissue

• spread airborne

• dx by skin test (if bigger than 5mm = positive)

• can be inactive or active in the body

• At least four drugs for a long period of time (around 6-9 months)

• negative pressure isolation room

-Inflammation of the pleura

• sharp and abrupt pain

• have patient lie on affected side and splint when coughing

Fluid in the pleural space

• thoracentesis usually performed to remove fluid

fluid within the pleural space becomes infected

• thick and purulent

• chest tube tx

• Too much mucus being produced by lungs

• impairs lung and ciliary function

• no cure

A condition that describes two diseases

• emphysema

• chronic bronchitis tx by bronchodilators and anti inflammatory agents

• cautiously use oxygen due to dependence

Enlargement of the right side of the heart caused by pulmonary htn

• inflated alveolar spaces -air is hard to exhale but easy to inhale

• too much mucus that lowers ciliary function

• inflamed bronchi

Smoking (90%)

caused by too much pressure in pulmonary artery

collapsed lung

presence of blood in the pleural cavity

Collection of fluid in spaces of the lung

• left sided HF common cause

An air leak

Above 4L

Non Rebreather mask
