Terms in this set (180)
Four life functions: 1. Ventilation- moving air in and out of lungs
2. Oxygenation- getting oxygen into the blood
3. Circulation- moving blood through the body
4. Perfusion- getting oxygen into the tissues
Vitals that interpret ventilation respiratory rate
(moving air in and out...breathing) tidal volume
chest movement
breath sounds
PaCO2
EtCO2
Vitals that interpret oxygenation heart rate
(oxygen in the blood) color
sensorium
PaO2
SpO2
Vitals that interpret circulation heart rate and strength
(moving blood through the body by cardiac output
heart)
, Vitals that interpret perfusion blood pressure
(getting oxygen into tissues by sensorium
pressure) temperature
urine output (kidneys not perfusing)
hemodynamics
What is the most important life ventilation
function
what is the most common life oxygenation
function
Marked means more severe.. it is an emergency
Signs what you see (objective)
anything that can be seen or measured
Symptoms what the patient tells you (subjective)
how you feel
recommended therapy for nicotine recommend nicotine therapy
users
Normal urine output 40 ml/hr
1 L/day
if intake exceeds urine output, this weight gain (due to gaining fluid too)
could result in: electrolyte imbalance
increased hemodynamic pressures
decreased lung compliance (decreased
ventilation and oxygenation)
Normal CVP 2-6 mmHg
