|
hypoxia?
|
Oxygen delivery to the tissues is inadequate.
|
|
Hypoxemic hypoxia
|
arterial oxygen saturation in reduced
|
|
Anemic hypoxia

|
Histotoxic (cytotoxic) hypoxia?
|
When the tissues are not able to use the O2 being delivered to it. (ie: cyanide or carbon monoxide poisoning)
|
|

|
Hypercarbia
|
|
Requires invasive measures to confirm?
|
Hypercarbia
|
|
A child with inadequate ventilation typically presents with tachpnea to attempt to eliminate excessive CO2. An exception to this is?

Consequences of inadequate ventilation become more severe as the partial pressure of ____ in the blood rises and respiratory ______ worsens
|
CO2
acidosis |
|
If the pulse oximeter indicates 100% saturation _____ can still be inpaired.
|
ventilation
|
|
It a child demonstrates a decreased level of consciousness despite adequate O2, you should suspect that ventilation is inadequate and that _____ and ____ may be present
|
hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis
|
|
Factors that contribute to increased work of breathing are?
|
increased airway resistance and
decreased lung compliance. |
|
The effectiveness of respiration is also affected by muscle tone, ___, ____ and _____
|
strength, coordination and by the CNS control
|
|
Airway resistance is primarily increased by _________?
|
reduction in the size of the airways (either constriction or inflammation)
|
|
The large and medium sized airways provide ____ resistance than the small airways?
|
greater
|
|
The large and medium sized airway provide greater airway resistance than the small airway due to ___?
|
The total of the larger airways is smaller than the small airway area.
|
|
In turbulant airflow, resistance is inversely proportional to the ____ power of the radius of the airway lumen?
|
fifth
|
|
Compliance refers to the ____, _____ or _____?
|
distensibility (stiffness) of the lung, chest wall, or both.
|
|
_____ is defined as the change in the lung volume produced by a change in driving pressure across the lung.
|
Lung Compliance
|
|
Work of breathing increases in an attempt to maintain airflow despite ___?
|
decreased lung compliance.
|
|
Compliance varies within the lung according to the degree of _____?

When lung compliance is reduced, maximum inspiratory effort may not produce adequate tidal volume because ?
|
Marked inspiratory retractions of the chest wall limit lung expansion
|
|
Seesaw breathing seen with neuromuscular weakness is due to _____?
