Bradypnea, bradycardia, confusion, cyanotic skin, hypotension, fatigue, diminished lung sounds, cardiac
dysrhythmias - CORRECT ANSWERS Late hypoxia symptoms
ventilation - CORRECT ANSWERS the process of moving gases in and out of the lungs
respiration - CORRECT ANSWERS exchange of the gases oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
lungs and airways - CORRECT ANSWERS 2 parts of the pulmonary system
hyperventilation - CORRECT ANSWERS when a person breathes fast and deeply to move a large
amount of air through the lungs, causing too much CO2 to be removed by the alveoli.
hypoxemia - CORRECT ANSWERS mild hyperventilation can occur in response to ___, and
hypoventilation can lead to it.
hypoventilation - CORRECT ANSWERS when a decreased rate or shallow breathing moves only a
small amount of air into and out of the lungs.
hypoxia - CORRECT ANSWERS what hypoxemia can progress to, meaning an oxygen deficiency
in the body tissues.
hypoxemia - CORRECT ANSWERS a low level of oxygen in the blood.
, breathing rate and depth, airway and lung condition - CORRECT ANSWERS 2 things that
ventilation is affected by
lung surface and thickness of alveolar membrane - CORRECT ANSWERS 2 things that respiration
is affected by
pulse oximetry - CORRECT ANSWERS measures the oxygen saturation of blood
95-100 - CORRECT ANSWERS normal SpO2 of blood is between ___-___%
Capnography - CORRECT ANSWERS this measures respiratory depression and appropriate levels
of CO2 (in inhaled and exhaled air)
Ineffective airway clearance - CORRECT ANSWERS type of ventilation impairment that is the
inability to clear secretions or obstructions from the respiratory tract to maintain a clear airway.
smoking, secretions, inflammation, spasm, inadequate cough effort, foreign bodies, artificial airway,
environmental, sleep apnea - CORRECT ANSWERS 9 risk factors for ineffective airway clearance
stridor - CORRECT ANSWERS this can be heard without a stethoscope and is a high-pitched,
harsh, crowing inspiratory sound caused by partial obstruction of the larynx or trachea.
retractions - CORRECT ANSWERS the visible pulling in of the intercostal, supraclavicular, and
subcostal tissue to try and increase depth of inhalation.
grunting - CORRECT ANSWERS noisy, difficult breathing caused by forced expiration against a
closed glottis and involuntary muscle contraction during expiration to help keep alveoli open.
dyspnea - CORRECT ANSWERS shortness of breath
