Taylor's survey tedt 2
red blood cells
Blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells. 4 - 6 million
Hemoglobin
Oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells 12-16 hypoxemia = low o2 carrying capacity
Capillaries
Smallest blood vessels
Anemia
a deficiency of red blood cells
Cheyne-Stokes
abnormal breathing pattern; periods of dyspnea and apnea
causes airways to narrow and bronchospasm
asthma COPD
Veins
blood back to the heart high pressure low volume
Transport of fluids and electrolytes takes place at which level?
capillaries
increased blood pressure effects
capillaries transportation but changing shape of the cannel - edema -creates back pressure
Arteries
carry blood away from the heart
Biot's respirations
caused by a head injury with long periods of APNEA
abdominal paradox
caused by fatigue or injured diaphram supine position caused by COPD
Abdominal Paradoxical Breathing
chest goes up abdomen goes down should be equal
Kussmaul respirations
deep and fast respirations caused by metabolic acidosis
normal breath sounds
diminished- b/s decreased absent -no b/s Harsh- intensity of b/s increases loud
Polycythemia (opposite of anemia)
excess of red blood cells -COPD
Loss of lung volume will cause rapid shallow respiration
fibrosis acceleration
Crackles (rales) are caused by _________.
fluid in the airways large airways collapse air-sacks collapse
Calcium
helps bones and clotting 4.5-5.25
Hypernatermia
high sodium water loss
auscultation of the lungs
listening to breath sounds to assess the patients condition listening to pre and post breath sounds to see if conditions are changing after treatment
Apneustic breathing
long inhalations by a brain injury (basically death)
Hypokalemia
low potassium in the blood
Hyponatremia
low sodium in the blood weak, headache
septum gram stain
microorganisms causes infection in lungs saliva sample either gram + or -
wheezing
monophonic single airway obstructions polyphonic multiple airways involved
breathing patterns
normal - 12-20
What type of WBC is an indicator of bacterial pneumonia?
nuetrofils
APNEA
periods of no breathing
auscultation of lungs technique
pt sitting up pt taking deep breaths in & out through lungs anterior posterior lateral
Homeostasis
rely on fluid in the body and transport
paradoxical sleep
something is unequal chest / abdomen should move equally
