Airway

Front 1

smallest part of pediatric airway

Back 1

cricoid ring

Front 2

smace right before the epigllotis, where the curved blade (mac) should be placed

Back 2

vallecula

Front 3

a sraight blade lifts the tounge and what other structure out of the way so vocal cords can be visualized for intubation

Back 3

epiglottis

Front 4

pediatric pt's have a larger tounge, epiglottis, and seemingly no vallecula, therefore a ______ blade is recommended when intubating a pediatric pt.

Back 4

striaght

Front 5

the process of a pediatric pt struggling to get more air in and out of his lungs by pulling or sucking in his ribs is called

Back 5

retraction

Front 6

fill in the blanks:
3 main places to look for retactions are
1.above the clavicals_______ 2.under the rib cage _______ 3.beweeen the ribs _______

Back 6

1. supraclavicular
2. subcostal
3. inercostal

Front 7

when healty lungs inhale, aveloi a:(open/close), when they exhale, aveoli b: (open/close) ?

Back 7

a: open
b: close

Front 8

How long is nnormal capillary refil in warm environment

Back 8

2-3 seconds

Front 9

Artifical respirations via BVM can create an air filled abdomen,and appear distended. This distention pushes on what structure, compressing the lungs and making breathing difficult?

Back 9

diaphragm

Front 10

pediatric vocal cords are very (anterior/posterior) ?

Back 10

anterior

Front 11

adenoidal tissue is larger/smaller in pediatric pt's

Back 11

larger

Front 12

name the type of copd noted by loss of elasticity of the lung tissue, from destruction of the capillaries feeding the alveoli, thus the small airways collapse during exhalation. As alveolar collapsibility increases, this impedes airflow and traps air in the lungs. Symptoms include shortness of breath on exertion and later at rest, hyperventilation, and an expanded chest.

Back 12

emphysema

Front 13

respiratory disease noted by barking cough; a whistling, obstructive sound (stridor) as the child breathes in; and hoarseness due to obstruction in the region of the larynx.

Back 13

croup

Front 14

acute respiratory disease commonly asocciated with a fever, sore throat, dysphagia, stridor, respiratory distress, drooling, and anxiety.

Back 14

epiglottitis

Front 15

name the sound that is described as a coarse whistling sound, produced in the airway, caused when part of the respiratory tree is narrowed or obstructed, and is seen commonly pt's with lung disease or asthma.

Back 15

wheezing
