⩥ Ventilation.
Answer: Movement of air in and out of the lungs (neurologic control)
⩥ Respiration.
Answer: Exchange of gases in the alveoli (pulmonary)
⩥ Perfusion.
Answer: The transport of blood through arteries, capillaries, and tissues
⩥ Types of Perfusion.
Answer: Central perfusion - heart and major vessels; Tissue perfusion -
blood flow to specific organs and tissues
⩥ Acute respiratory conditions.
Answer: Examples include pneumonia and asthma flare-ups.
⩥ Chronic lung disease.
Answer: Includes COPD, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.
,⩥ Neurologic conditions affecting breathing control.
Answer: Conditions that impair the body's ability to regulate breathing.
⩥ Cardiovascular conditions reducing pulmonary blood flow.
Answer: Conditions that limit blood flow to the lungs.
⩥ Hematologic disorders.
Answer: Examples include anemia.
⩥ Aging-related changes affecting gas exchange.
Answer: Includes decreased lung elasticity, reduced vital capacity,
increased residual volume, ineffective cough, and increased secretions.
⩥ Cardiovascular disease.
Answer: Includes atherosclerosis and heart failure.
⩥ Reduced cardiac output.
Answer: A condition where the heart pumps less blood than normal.
⩥ Vessel obstruction or narrowing.
Answer: Conditions that block or narrow blood vessels.
,⩥ Neurologic conditions affecting cerebral blood flow.
Answer: Conditions that impair blood flow to the brain.
⩥ Pulmonary conditions affecting blood flow.
Answer: Conditions that impact blood flow to and from the lungs.
⩥ Aging-related changes affecting perfusion.
Answer: Includes decreased heart muscle efficiency, loss of arterial
elasticity, thickened capillary walls, and reduced ability to respond to
stress.
⩥ Health History.
Answer: A review of the patient's current health status, chronic illnesses,
medications, past cardiac or pulmonary conditions, family history of
heart or clotting disorders, and lifestyle factors such as smoking,
exercise, diet, and substance use.
⩥ Subjective Data for Gas Exchange.
Answer: Includes symptoms reported by the patient such as cough,
dyspnea (shortness of breath), and chest pain with breathing.
⩥ Subjective Data for Perfusion.
, Answer: Includes symptoms reported by the patient such as central or
peripheral pain, dizziness or syncope, fatigue, edema, bleeding or
bruising, dyspnea, and paresthesia.
⩥ Objective Data for Gas Exchange.
Answer: Includes vital signs (respiratory rate, SpO₂, heart rate,
temperature), inspections for anxiety, distress, cyanosis, barrel chest, use
of accessory muscles, pursed-lip breathing, nail clubbing, and
auscultation of lung sounds.
⩥ Objective Data for Perfusion.
Answer: Includes vital signs (blood pressure, pulse quality, SpO₂),
inspection of skin color and temperature, palpation of capillary refill and
peripheral pulses, skin turgor, and auscultation of heart sounds.
⩥ Diagnostics for Gas Exchange.
Answer: Tests such as arterial blood gases (ABGs), complete blood
count (CBC), chest X-ray, CT scan, and pulmonary function tests.
⩥ Diagnostics for Perfusion.
Answer: Tests including cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiogram (ECG),
lipid panel, and coagulation studies.
⩥ Vital Signs for Gas Exchange.
