15-1 Anatomy/Physiology of Accessory Structures of Airway 1. Diaphragm 2. Chest wall muscles 3. Accessory muscles of breathing 4. Nerves from the brain and spinal cord to those muscles
15-2 Physiology of Respiration 1. Inspiration: breathing in, or inhaling 2. Expiration: breathing out, or exhaling a. O2 is provided to the blood and CO2 is removed from it. i. In healthy lungs, this exchange of gases takes place rapidly at the level of the alveoli.
15-2 Normal Breathing Adequate rate or volume Adequate chest rise and fall Air moves freely in and out of chest No abnormal breath sounds Normal skin color Normal oxygen saturation No altered mental status No tripod position
15-3 Pathophysiology of Respiration causes - lung disease. - body produce too muchCO2 - It could signify chronic CO2 retention. - brain accommodates high levels of CO2 and uses hypoxic drive -croup -epiglottitis -bronchitis -pneumonia -pertussis (whooping cough) -TB -edema
15-4 Special Airway Pt -children are more likely to have pertussis (whooping cough) - children dont like wearing masks so hold it on face or have caregiver do so
15-4 Geriatric Pt Airway -due to aging -> more difficult to ventilate -elderly take beta blockers and othe meds that alter ability to do normal body functions including repiration
15-5 Respiratory Conditions pt 1
15-5 Respiratory Conditions pt 2
15-6 Characteristics of Infectious Disease
15-7 Influenza A Protection of EMT
15-8 Pediatric Airway Pt
15-9 Airway Pt Assessment -scene size up -primary assessment -Hx and focused assessment - OPQRST -lung fields and heart rate - interventions - high flow O2 -> semi fowlers -> maybe airway adjunct - reassessment -> IVIF
