airway - The upper airway tract or the passage above the larynx, which includes the nose, mouth, and throat. alveolar minute volume - The volume of air moved through the lungs in 1 minute minus the dead space; calculated by multiplying tidal volume (minus dead space) and respiratory rate. alveolar ventilation - The volume of air that reaches the alveoli. It is determined by subtracting the amount of dead space air from the tidal volume. American Standard Safety System - A sa...

Appropriate airway management - *Steps must be performed in order. Bypass steps that do not apply.* a. Open and maintain a patent airway. b. Recognize and treat airway obstructions. c. Assess ventilation and oxygenation status. d. Administer supplemental oxygen. e.Provide ventilatory assistance. Upper airway - Consists of all anatomic airway structures above the glottic opening. *1. Tongue* a. Must be manipulated b. Tends to fall back into the posterior pharynx in unresponsive p...

Which patient would be classified as "immediate" during and MCI? - 8 year old female with no respirations after 5 positive pressure ventilations. A 13 year old female watching a horror movie states she can't catch her breath and her fingers are numb. Respirations are 30 and deep with Sp02 of %100. She is speaking in clear sentences, has clear and equal breath sounds. You should? - Calmly reassure her, encouraging her to calmly slow her rate of breathing. You have inserted an OPA f...

ADULT VENT RATE AND VOLUME 10-12 PER MINUTE EACH DELIVERED OVER 1 SECOND ALPHA RECEPTORS LOCATED IN ARTERIES, stimulated by epinephrine or norepinephrine, the arteries constrict, increases the BP and the blood flow returning to the heart. Block these alpha-receptors and the arteries dilate. Thus an alpha-blocker medication causes vasodilation and can be used to treat hypertension. COMPLICATIONS WITH TRACHEOSTOMY Bleeding Air trapped around the lungs (pneumothorax) Air trapped in t...

What is the term for abnormal breath sounds that result from an obstructed airway? a. crackles b. wheezing c. snoring d. stridor - d. stridor is an upper airway obstruction caused by tissue swelling around the trachea, layrnx, or epiglotitis. Stridor is often present with an airway obstruction, epiglottitis, or croup What is the term for high-pitched whistling sounds heard during expiration? a. friction rub b. stridor c. snoring d. wheezing - d. wheezing suggests lower airway ob...

Alveolar air volume - Amount of air that reaches alveoli for gas exchange (approx. 350 ml. For adult male) Tidal volume minus dead space Dead air space - Anatomically: structures that hold air, but can't participate in gas exchange. Physiologically: alveoli or capillaries destroyed by disease Expiratory reserve volume - Amount of gas that can be forcefully expired at the end of a normal expiration Inspiratory reserve volume - Amount of gas that can be forcefully inspired ...

Which of the following would cause an increase in the amount of exhaled carbon dioxide? - Increased cardiac output All of the following are signs of hypoxia except - dehydration Inhalation occurs when the - diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract and cause a decrease in intrathoracic pressure. Based on current guidelines in which of the following situations should supplemental oxygen be administered - Exposure to carbon monoxide and an oxygen saturation of 95% A ventil...

Indications for Nasotracheal Intubation - Responsive PTs with AMS, gag reflex, respiratory failure due to COPD, asthma, pulmonary edema Indications for Suctioning lower airway - PTs mouth becomes filled with secretions; to be able to ventilate properly without pushing material into the airway obstructing it Signs and Symptoms of Lower airway injury - Tachypnea, dyspnea, cough, wheezing, rales, rhonchi, retractions, hypoxia, stridor Signs and Symptoms of Tension Pneumothorax - ...

What are the adult ventilation rates and adequate volumes? - 12-20 breaths per minute, 120/80 BP, O2 Stat of greater than 95% What are the complications of hyperventilation? - Leads to carbon dioxide blow off, which causes vasoconstriction, and limits blood flow to the brain What is dyspnea? - difficulty breathing What is nocturnal dyspnea? - Difficulty breathing after sleep or while asleep Lung sounds usually heard usually during asthma, COPD, emphysema, and Chronic Bron...

Upper Airway - Consists of all structures above the level of the vocal cords. The nose, mouth, jaw, oral cavity and pharynx. Lower Airway - Function is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Starts at the larynx. Spans from the glottis to the pulmonary capillary membrane. Turbinates - Increase the surface area of the nasal mucosa, thereby improving the processes of warming, filtering and humidification of inhaled air. Hyoid Bone - Small, horseshoe shaped bone that attaches t...

Alveolar air volume - amount of air that reaches alveoli for gas exchange (approx. 350 ml. For adult male) Tidal volume minus dead space Dead air space - anatomic dead space are structures that hold air but but can't participate in gas exchange. Physiologic dead space are alveoli or capillaries destroyed by disease Expiratory reserve volume - amount of gas that can be forcefully expired at the end of a normal expiration Inspiratory reserve volume - amount of gas that can be...

You arrive on the scene to discover a 65-year-old female lying on the floor of her living room. Your first step in the care of this patient is to" A. begin chest compressions B. apply the AED C. maintain an open airway D. assess level of consciousness - C. maintain an open airway Tidal volume is best defined as the: A. volume of air inhaled on a single breath B. volume of air that remains in the upper airway C. total volume of air that the lungs are capable of holding D. volume of...

What is the amount of air that normally reaches the alveoli in an adult? - 350ml How much air is in the average adult ventilation? - 500ml How much air is lost in the area of dead space when an adult is ventilating? - 150ml A 67 year old male complains of mild respiratory distress. He smokes 4 packs of cigarettes a day and reports a consistent cough and frequent respiratory infections. Chest sounds reveal bilateral rhonchi. What should you suspect? - Chronic bronchitis EX...

From the atmosphere, what structures does air pass through during ventilation? - Starts in atmosphere, then nose, nasopharyngeal space/orophargyneal space (if mouth breather), then pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli What is the purpose of the nasal passages and nasopharynx? - To warm/humidify air as it passes through What is the difference between respiration and ventilation? - Respiration refers to the exchange of gases in the alveoli, ventilation refers to t...
