SOPN FON OXYGENATION

QuestionAnswer
Circulation of heart to the lungs Cardiopulmonary Circulation
Pumping action of the heart - is essential to deliver oxygen via the blood Myocardial Pump
Decrease pump effectiveness causes: Decrease oxygen delivery
Arteries which directly supply heart with blood and oxygen Coronary Arteries
Amount of blood ejected from left ventricle each minute Cardiac Output
Normal Cardiac Output 4-6 liters/minutes at rest
Amount of blood ejected from left ventricle after each contraction Stroke Volume
Amount of volume to be ejected by left ventricle. Preload
Amount of resistance the left ventricle has to pump against Afterload
Affects blood flow to lungs. Contractility of heart
Affects blood flow to heart and lungs Heart rate
Electrical impulses from part of the Central Nervous System (CNS) Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
Most often heard at lung bases, high-pitched fine crackling sound during ispiration. Does not clear with cough. Crackles
Course low pitched rumbling sounds, may clear with cough Rhonchi
High-pitched continuous musical like sound, a squeak heard during ispiration or expiration. Doesn't clear with cough. Wheezes
Increase heart rate and blood pressure. Sympathetic Nervous System
Sympathetic Nervous System: Main neurotransmitter Epinephrine/Adrenaline
Decreases heart rate: Parasympathetic Nervous System
Parasympathetic Nervous System: Main neurotransmitter Acetylcholine
Both Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems send impulses to the heart via: Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Pacemaker of the heart. Is located in the right atrium of the heart Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Nervous System: mediates impulse, transmission between atrial and ventricle Atrial Ventricular Node (AV node)
Nervous System: located in ventricles Perkinjie Fibers
Respiratory: The mechanical process of moving gases in and out of the lungs Ventilation
Respiratory: Amount of elasticity, needed for proper ventilation Compliance of lungs
Respiratory: diseases which cause pulmonary edema ( lungs too full of fluid) Fibrosis and COPD
Respiratory: Amount of blood flow to the lungs Perfusion of lungs
Respiratory: Small air sacs of lung, where oxygen is exchanged from O2 ---lungs and CO2 to air Alveoli
Respiratory: Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Diffusion
Respiratory: Collapsed lung Pneumothorax
Respiratory: Removal of a lung Lobectomy
Respiratory: Transport 97% of O2 to tissues of the body Hgb
Respiratory: 3% dissolved directly in plasma Hgb
Respiratory: Hgb combines with O2 to form Oxyhemoglobin
Oxygenation: Decreased pumping action = decreased blood circulation to lungs Cardiac Disorders
Oxygenation: Decreased blood volume = decreased O2 from shock, severe dehydration Hypovolemia
Conditions which affect chest wall movement. Affects tissue oxygenation. Pregnancy, Obesity, Muscle diseases and other abnormalities
Conditions which affect chest wall movement Nervous system diseases, trauma or disease to respiratory center
Nervous system diseases: impairs nervous & muscular control: Myasthenia, Graves disease, Gillian Barre Syndrome, Polio, Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Trauma or diseases to respiratory center in the medulla oblongata affects: Neural control, and abnormal breathing patterns can develop
C3 to C5 fracture of spinal cord causes: Paralysis of nerves which inervate muscles of respiration
Diaphragm does not descend: Phrenic nerve damage
Decreased inspiratory lung volumes Hypoxemia
Lifestyle risks which increase risk of cardiopulmonary problems: Unhealthy diets, Lack of exercise, Smoking, Substance/ETOH abuse
Increased fat, calories, causes obesity, and artherosclerotic disease: Unhealthy diet
Increase work of breathing at rest, Lack of exercise
Increases risk of heart disease, COPD, and lung CA Smoking
Depresses the respiratory center Substance/ETOH abuse
Increase rate and depth to meet body's need for additional oxygen and to rid the body of CO2 Excercise
Pain alters rate and rhythm of respirations, breathing becomes shallow. May inhibit or splint chest wall movement when pain is in area of chest or abdomen Acute Pain
Increases rate and depth as a result of sympathetic stimulation Anxiety
Changes the lung's airways, resulting in increased rate of respirations at rest Smoking
Body positions: A straight errect posture promotes: Full chest expansion
Body positions: A stooped or slumped position impairs: Ventilatory movement
Body positions: Lying flat prevents: Full lung expansion
Medications: Depress rate and depth of respirations: Narcotic analgesics, general anesthetics, and sedative/hyponotics
Medications: May increase rate and depth of respirations Amphetamines and cocaine
Medications: Slow rate of respirations by causing airway dilation Brochodilators
Injury to the brainstem impairs the respiratory center and inhibits respiratory rate and rhythm Neurological injury
Decrease hemoglobin levels reduces oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, which increases respiratory rate Hemoglobin Function (Anemia)
Abnormal blood cell function, reduces the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen Sicke Cell
Exposure to environmental hazards: smog, asbestos Increased risk of respiratory disease
Increased CO2 levels: Hypercapnia
Ventilation in excess of body needs, increased respiratory rate Hyperventilation
Causes of Hyperventilation: Anxiety, infection, drugs, acid base imbalances
Lack of O2 at tissue cell level, especially from pulmonary embolus and shock Hypoxia
Signs and symptoms of hyperventilation: Tachycardia, SOB, dizziness & kightheadedness, numbness, tinnitus, disorientation, chest pain, decreased concentration, tetany, muscle spasms
Rapid heart beat Tachycardia
Ringing in ears Tinnitus
Inadeqequate to meet the O2 needs of the body, or not enough to eliminate excess CO2 Hyperventilation
Hypoventalation causes: Atelectasis
Collapse of alveoli Atelectasis
O2 sat of 99% very dangerous for patients with Ateletasis
Signs & Symptoms of hypoventilation: Dizziness, disprientation, headache, lethargy, coma, & convulsions, heart arrythmias, cardiac arrest
Inadequate tissue O2 at cellular level Hypoxia
Hypoxia causes: Decreased Hgb levels, decreased in inspired O2 & impaired ventilation, inability of tissues to extract O2 from blood, inability of alveoli to perfuse O2 to blood
Signs and symptoms of hypoxia: SOB, dyspnea, apprehension, behavior changes, heart arrythmias, dizziness, tachycardia, tachypnea, restlessness, decreased level of consciousness, cyanosis
Pain, most often on left side of chest, and may radiate (pressure) to left arm. Different for men and Women Cardiac Pain
Cardiac pain in men: Sub sternal & radiates to left arm & jaw
Cardiac pain in women: Epigastric pain, c/o indigestion, chocking feeling, & dyspnea
Sharp, knife like pain, worse with inspiration Pleural pain
Difficult breathing Dyspnea
Need pillows, can't breathe while laying flat in bed Orthopnea
High pitch squeeky (musical sound) movement of air through a narrow airway Wheezing
Bloody sputum: Hemoptysis
Blood in vomitus: Hematemesis

Artificial airway by surgical incision into trachea for airway. Tracheal tube
To clean Tracheal tubes: Hydrogen peroxide and sterile normal saline
Suctioning: Use fresh catheter every time Open suction
Suctioning: Use multiply times, catheter enclosed in plastic sheath , and used 24 - 48 hours, usually vented. Permits continous delivery of O2 Closed suction
Hydration: Nurse should encourage patient to: Drink fluids
