◉ Aerobic Metabolism
Answer: In the presence of oxygen, the cells convert glucose into
energy through this process.
◉ Anaerobic Metabolism
Answer: Without adequate O2, the cells do not completely convert
glucose into energy and lactic acid and other toxins accumulate
into the cell. If this is not corrected (with adequate perfusion and
ventilation) the cells will die.
◉ Hypoxia
Answer: Dangerous condition in which the cells in the tissues do
not receive enough O2.
◉ V/Q Mismatch
Answer: Ventilation and perfusion must be matched. A failure to
match ventilation and perfusion, lies behind most abnormalities
in oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
, ◉ Hypoventilation
Answer: Minute vol- decreases. CO2 elimination- decreases,
leading to hypercarbia. The level of CO2 in the pt's blood will
exceed normal limits.
◉ Hyperventilation
Answer: Minute vol- increases. CO2 elimiation- increases, leading
to hypocarbia. The level of CO2 in pt's blood will fall below
normal, leading to dizziness, and numbness in the face and
extremities.
◉ Intrapulmonary Shunting
Answer: Blood entering the lungs from the right side of the heart,
in an unoxygenated state.
◉ Resp Acidosis
Answer: Anytime a pt is in resp distress or is unable to breathe,
acidosis quickly develops, because of a buildup in CO2.
◉ Resp Alkalosis
Answer: Alkalosis can develop if respiration's are too high, and
there is not enough CO2 in the body, the body will be high in base.
◉ Orthopnea
Answer: Severe dyspnea experienced when recumbent and
relieved by sitting or standing up.
