hyperventilation and causes a decrease in hydrogen ions
hydrogen ions
hypoventilation and causes an increase in hydrogen ions
hydrogen ions
normal pH for the blood 7.35-7.45
what causes respiratory hypoventilation
acidosis
- respiratory depression from opioids, poisons
- brain tumors, stroke, trauma
what causes
- muscle weakness, flail chest, obesity, sleep apnea
hypoventilation
- airway obstruction
- pneumothorax
- tachycardia (severe is bradycardia), tachypnea,
hypertension
manifestations of
- anxiety, irritability, confusion, coma
respiratory acidosis
- ineffective, shallow, rapid breathing
- pale or cyanotic
- oxygen therapy
nursing care for a patient
- maintain patent airway
with respiratory acidosis
- positioning and breathing techniques
what causes respiratory hyperventilation
alkalosis
- fear, anxiety, intracerebral trauma, excessive
what causes mechanical ventilation
hyperventilation - hypoxemia from asphyxiation, high altitudes, shock,
pneumonia
