SOPN Test 7

SOPN Resp Dysfuction Test 7 (2 of 3)

QuestionAnswer
A cough that last more than 3 weeks? May indicated Pulmonary Disease
Paroxysmal cough? Spasmotic type, difficult to stop, occuring repeatedly without warning.
Cause of Paroxysmal cough? Asthma, chronic bronchitis
Dry Cough? Productivie cought Dry: with out sputnum Productive with sputnum.
What is the cause of excessive nasal secretions? URI: nasal secretion are purulent and nasal mucosa is red. From dust, irritants fumes. Allergies: Nasal mucosa is pale and nasal secretions are watery.
Bloody Sputum? Hemoptysis sometimes seen with TB and Cancer.
Lung Tissue does or does not feel pain? Does not.
Pleuritis Pain: Very sharp, intensified with deep breathing.
Intercostal Pain: Achy pain from intercostal muscles when coughing or straining.
Hypoxemia: Insufficient 02 in blood (PA02 decreased to <75mm Hg)
Hypoxia: Inadequate tissue oxygenation causes: high altitude, anemia's, circulation impairment (hypotension decreased C02) monoxide posioning, cyandie poisoning.
Early Signs of Respiratory Dysfunction? Restlessness, tachycardia, increased RR, irratability, apprehension.
Late Signs of Respiratory Dysfunction? Cyanosis, heart arrythmias, impaired judgement, decreased level of consiousness, confusion, coma, death.
Hypercapnia: INCREASE CO2 in the ARTERIAL BLOOD. (>45MG hG) NORMAL IS 35-45 aveolar ventilation cannot eliminate CO2 as CO2 increase there is an increase in Hydrogen ions resulting in ACIDOSIS
Cause of Hypercapnia? Respiratory depression, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, & COPD.
Hypocapnia: DECREASE C02 in ARTERIAL BLOOD too much CO2 is blown off (<35)
Cause of Hypocapnia: Drug overdose, anethesea, head trauma, MD, Polio, asthma, embolism, brain tumor, any thing that effect respiratory system.
Respiratory Failure: A non-specif diagnosis in which the repiratory system is unable to supply the body with sufficent 02 and cannot get rid of CO2 waste.
Cause of Respiratory Failure: Acute or Chronic, airway obstruction depression in respiratory center "medulla". Impaired transmission from neverous system from medulla to respiratory muscles.
What do you include in Respiratory Assessment? Pt Hx, chief complaint, signs & symptoms, smoking & working history (asbestos), cough, SOB, secretions, pain, how long symptoms last, do you need pillow to sleep (orhopnea).
What should you check during Respiratory Exam? Nutrition, clubbing, skin color, nail beds, RR, observe chest.
Kussmauls breathing is? Exceptionally deep respirations.
Cheyne-Stokes breathing is? Cycles of apnea wth increased RR and depth then decreaed periods of apnea.
Barrel Chest in Respiratory Assessment? Chest is rounded and anteriro to posterior diameter in increased, seen alot in EMPYSEMA.
Funnel Chest in Respiratory Assessment? Decrease AP a congential depression of the sternum
Pigeon Breat in Respiratory Assessment? Prominence of sternum with inceased AP diameter.
Kyphois in Respiratory Assessment? Hunch back exaggerated curve of the thoraic spine.
Scoliosis Later Deformity in Respiratory Assessment? S shaped curvature of the thoraci and lumbar spine.
Say "99" palpation test Fremitus: Feel sound vibs with palms on chest. Increased in pneumonia, decrease with tumors and obstruction.
Percussion: Flat Over a solid area
Percussion: Dull Normal sound over the diaphragm, can mean consolidation over the lung.
Percussion: Tympany Over the chest in ABNORMAL.
Percussion: Resonant Normal is over the chest
Percussion: Hyperrsonant Abnormal in emphysema
Normal Diaphragmatic excursion 2.5 - 7 cm. Decreased in emphysema, Increase asicties or paralysis or pregnancy.
Vesicular Breath Sound Normal: Quiet Low pitched sounds of air moving in and out of the aveoli and bronchioles.
Bronchial Breath Sound Normal: Higher pitched, louder and longer the normal breath sound over the trachea
Broncho Vesicular Breath Sound Normal: in between trachea and bronchioles.
Fine Crackles (rales) Abnormal = originate in alveoli sounds like hair strands next to your ear = FLUID IN LUNGS.
Coarse Crackles (Rales) Abnormal: Loud gurgling sounds = FLUID IN LUNGS.
What would the presence of Crackles in Breath sounds indicate? Fluid in lungs, especially with pulmonary edema and left sided CHF.
Wheezes in breath sounds indicate what? Is common wiht COPD and emhysema, obstructionHigh pitched = Asthma Low Pitch = Emphysema, COPD
Inspiratory Reserve Amount of air you can inspire after a normal breath.
Tidal Volume Normal amount of air inspired and expired in a normal breath.
Expiratory Reserve Amount of air you can expire after a normal breath
Residual Volume Amount of air left in your lung after a maximal inspiration and expiration done by way of a recording device.
ABG's PH = 7.35 - 7.45 Pa02 = 75 - 100 PaCO2 = 35 -45 HC03 = 23 - 29 Sa02 = 94%
Respiratory Acidosis: If bicarb is normal if uncompensated If bicarb is increased if compensated via the kidneys.
Respiortory Alkalosis: Bicarb is normal is uncompensatedBicarb is decreased if compnsatd via the kidneys.
Pulse Oximetry Measurement of oxygen saturation with a pulse oximeter
Sputum Studies Best obtained in AM pt shoul brush teeth first. Put in sterile container, no saliva, just sputnum.
What does CXR Show? Size, shape, poistion & Symentry of the lungs, heart, diaphragm and rib cage A & P view, many times doctor also orders lateral views.
Fluoroscopy views what? Movement of chest and strucutures to be observed. Can also see the movement of the diaphragm.
Lung Scans Two types: Ventilation: view air flowPerfusion: determines blood flow by radioisotopes IV.
Pulmonary Angiography XRay of pulmonary vasculature (blood vessels) after the injection of contrast dye. Used to detect PULMONARY EMBOLI, TURMORS, LESIONS, OF PULMONARY VESSELS.
Nursing Intervention for Pulmonary Angiography? Check peripheral pulses distal to the injetion site for obstruction. Check for bleeding, hemotoma, swelling or infection. Check CSM of the extremity.
Allergies to check for with Pulmonary Angiography? Contrast Dye injected thru RA then through RV into the pulmonary artery.
What is direct visualization of the trachea and bronchus via endoscope called a brochoscope? Bronchoscopy
What is Bronchoscopy used for? Check for tumors, bleeding sites, collecting a biopsy via bronchial wash or brushing.
NI: For what? Check for Cough & Gag Reflex, Respiratory Distress, expect blood streaked sputnum, not fank bleeding, pt lying side position, sore throat? Bronchoscopy.
What is Patient medicated with during Brochoscopy? Atropine, which dries secrections, also a sedative to depress vagus never which could cause bradycardia, dysrhythmias, hypotension.
Drug to supress cough and gag reflex during Brochoscopy? Idocaine
Direct visulization of larynx using laryngoscope? Laryngoscopy
What drug is used during Larynoscopy and what is Laryngoscopy Atropine, to dry secreations, used to check for inflammation, biopsy, evaluate laryngoscope. Done under local anethesia.
Endoscopic examination of the mediastinum Mediastinoscopy, to detect cancer of lung, lymph nodes or biopsy. Done in OR.
What is the aspiration of fluid or air from pleural space? Thoracentesis, to relieve repiratory distress d/t fluid in intra plueral space.
Procedure: Done at bedside or treatment room, 3 way stopcock and sterile container? Thoracentesis, CXR after to determine if a pnuemothoax has occurred which is a COMPLICATION of this procedure. Monitor RR & respiratory distress.
Complications of Lung Biopsy? Pneumothorax, air embolism, & hemorrage.
Management of Respiratory Disorders? Breathing exercies, pursed lip breathing: prolongs expiration, to help prevent collapse of aveoli, more emptying of CO2 increased fresh air in. Thur nose out lips, practices blowing air bubbles thru straw in H20.
Abnormal Breath sounds? Adventitious
Decreased Breath Sounds? Obstruction or decreased air passing through the lungs.
Left Sided CHF breath sounds? Crackles indicate pulmonary edema, Left sided CHF, congested heart failure.
Rhonchi Low pitched continous rumbling, snoring or rattling common with what disease? Emphysema, and COPD.
When would pulse oximety be inaccurate? In hyptotension, inflated BP cuff, vasoconstricting drugs, and nail polish.
