Agonal Respirations
|
gasping-type respirations that have no pattern and occur very infrequently; a sign of impending cardiac or respiratory arrest (p. 179)
|
|
|
Alveolar ventilation
|
the amount of inspired air that reaches the alveoli of the lungs (p. 175)
|
|
|
Alveoli
|
small air sacs in the lungs that fill with air on ispiration and are the point of gas exchange with the pulmonary capillaries (p. 156)
|
|
|
Bilaterally
|
on both sides (p. 178)
|
|
|
Bradypnea
|
a breathing rate that is slower than the normal rate (p. 180)
|
|
|
Crowing
|
a sound similar to that of a cawing crow that indicates that the muscles around the larynx are in spasm and beginning to narrow the opening into the trachea (p. 163)
|
|
|
Cyanosis
|
a bluish color of the skin and mucous membranes that indicates poor oxygenation of tissue. (p. 160)
|
|
|
Gurgling
|
a gargling sound that indicates a fluid is in the mouth or pharanyx (p. 164)
|
|
|
Hemoglobin
|
a complex protein molecule found on the surface of the red blood cell that is responsible for carrying a majority of oxygen in the blood (p.160)
|
|
|
Hypoperfusion
|
the insufficient supply of oxygen and other nutrients to some of the body's cells that results from inadequate circulation of blood (shock)
(p. 159) |
|
|
Hypopnea
|
inadequate tidal volume in a breathing patient (p. 197)
|
|
|
Snoring
|
a sound that is heard when the base of the tongue or relaxed tissues in the pharynx partially block the upper airway (p. 163)
|
|
|
Stridor
|
a harsh, high-pitched sound heard on inspiration that indicates swelling of the larynx (p.164)
|
|
|
Tachypnea
|
a breathing rate that is faster than the normal rate (p. 180)
|
|

Two parts to adequate breathing
|
adequate respiratory rate and adequate tidal volume with each breath
|
|
|

|
|
11 Signs of inadequate breathing
|
Fast or slow respiratory rate
unequal chest expansion retractions cool/clammy skin gasping (seen before death) irregular breathing rhythm increased breathing effort shallow breathing cyanosis nasal flaring use of accesory muscles |
