| Diagnostic Radiology : Bronchogram | 1. Primary diagnostic tool for Bronchiectasis. 2. helps to direct postural drainage and percussion efforts. 3. this procedure can lead to respiratory deterioration and distress. |
| Echocardiogram:Infants | Helps to visualize cardiac-related anatomy- especially when suspecting congenital heart and abnormalities |
| ECG/EKG : recording equipment & supplies- 6 limb leads | LeadI- Left arm to rt. Arm. LeadII-left leg to rt. Arm. LeadIIIleft leg to left arm. - AVR-rt. Arm. AVL-left arm. AVF-left leg. |
| Ventilation : Physical signs of ventilation | 1. Chest movement 2. RR & depth 3. Vt 4. Breath Sounds |
| Visual Inspection : Acessory muscle use - normal muscles | 1. External intercostals 2. Diaphragm |
| Visual Inspection : chest configuration and condition - scoliosis, kyphosis, kyphoscoliosis | curvature of the spine. Kyposis is hunchback. Scoliosis curvature. PFT will show restrictive component. |
| study of circulation and perfusion is also called | Hemodynamics |
| Visual Inspection : General Appearance | 1. Height and weight. 2. age and sex. 3. body frame, nutrition. 4. Cachetic - wasted in appearance, poor skin tugor. |
| Diagnostic Radiology : V/Q studies | 1.Perfusion- abnormal when blood flow around the alveoli is hindered.2. Ventilation-abnormal/missing gas flow in areas of the lungs. Xenon gas is used to monitor gas flow. - V/Q is associated w/ pulmonary emboli. |
| Bedside Assessment : Breath Sounds-Ventilation-Vital Capacity(VC) | Should be @least 10ml/kg otherwise pt. needs ventilatory assistance. |
| Newborn Lab Assessment : Lenithin/Sphinogomyelin(L/S Ratio) | 1) Normal- 2:1 2)relates to lung maturity 3)if 1:1 is bad administer pulmonary surfactant. |
| Newborn Physical Assessment : Color | Blue extremities, pink body - called acrocyanosis. |
| Visual Inspection : respiratory rate and pattern: Apnea | cessation of breathing. |
| Bedside Assessment : Breath Sounds-Pulse-Tachycardia | >100 bpm associated w/ Hypoxemia - pt. need more O2. |
| Visual Inspection: Diaphoresis(Heavy sweating) | 1. CHF. 2. Myocardial Infarction (described as cold and clammy skin) 3. Febrile conditions. 4. Night sweats (pt. w/TB.) |
| Visual Inspection : Color- jaundice | excessive bilirubin. |
| Complete Blood Count(CBC) : RBC | 1. cells that carry Hb. 2.Acceptable range-4-6 mill/cu mm. |
| Bedside Assessment : Breath Sounds-Ventilation-Maximum Inspiratory pressure(MIP/MIF/NIP/NIF) | Should be @least -20 cmH20 |
| PFT:Bronchial Provocation | 1. determines ability to provoke bronchoconstriction. |
| Echocardiogram: Adults | helps to visualize(ultrasonically) function of the heart (in M-mode) including ejection fraction and assess general function of the left ventricle |
| Sputum: Sensitivity | Identifies the organism-killing antibiotics. |
| Bedside Assessment : Breath Sounds-Blood Pressure - Increased | Associated w/ anxiety, stress, cardiac problems and hypoxemia. |
| Visual Inspection : respiratory rate and pattern: Hperpnea | Increased RR,depth and regular rhythm. Associated w/ metabolic disorders. |
| ECG/EKG : recording equipment & supplies- Rhythms- Sinus rhythm | Normal. All the bumps (PQRST)are there especially the P wave. |
| Visual Inspection : respiratory rate and pattern: Bradypnea | RR less <8 also know as Oligopnea. |
| PFT:Ventilatory response to CO2 | Study shows change in ventilation as a response to increases CO2 while keeping PaO2 steady. |
| Radiological Description : Ground glass or Honeycomb pattern- Associated Problem | ARDS/IRDS |
| Neck X-rays : Lateral Neck | a.Differentiate Croup (Subglottic inflammation/Laryngotracheobronchitis):1.Steeple Sign2.not Life-Threatening & Acute epiglottitis(Supraglottic swelling): Thumb sign. |
| Visual Inspection: Chest movement-symmetry of movement - Asymmetrical | 1. COPD. 2. Flail chest(broken ribs. 3. Pneumothorax. 4. ET tube advanced too far into one lung. 5. Significant atelectasis. |
| ECG/EKG : recording equipment & supplies- Axis- Hypertrophy | 1. It means size of the heart has increased. Therefore will require more electricity and slower conductivity. 2.Usually to the left is the axis deviation direction as seen in the CHF. |
| Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Monitoring: Technology | 1. Requires access to the brain through a hole in the skull. A) Subarachnoid bolt - metal screw-like device inserted into the subdural space. B) Ventricular Catheter - placed in a surgical hole in the skull. |
| Visual Inspection: Peripheral edema | 1. Found in extremities esp. in the lower legs. 2. Associated w/CHF and any fluid-shift disease. |
| Neck X-rays : Artificial Airway placement and function | 1. Use a A-P chest radiograph. 2. Determined by radio-opaque line on the ET tube. 3. End of line should be 2cm above the carina (or 1 inch) |
| Visual Inspection : respiratory rate and pattern: Kussmaul breathing | Increased RR,depth and irregular rhythm. Associated w/diabetic ketoacidosis/ metabolic acidosis. |
| HCO3- Bicarbonate | Changes in Total CO2 content reflect changes in blood base. Normal: 22-26 mEq/L range HIGH HCO3- (Metabolic ALKALOSIS) Low HCO3- (Metablolic acidosis) |
