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
