Oxygen consumption in infants is __ to __ mL/kg
6 to 8 mL/kg

adults: 3 to 4
Inadequate arterial blood oxygenation?
Hypoxemia
inadequate oxygenation?
Hypercarbia
A room air SpO2 of ____ in a normal child indicated hypoxia.
<94%
hypoxia?
Oxygen delivery to the tissues is inadequate.
Hypoxemic hypoxia
arterial oxygen saturation in reduced
Anemic hypoxia
arterial 02 SATURATION IS NORML BUT TOTAL O2 CONTENT IS REDUCED by a low hemoglobin count.
Ischemic hyposia
Blood flow to the tissues is too low.
Histotoxic (cytotoxic) hypoxia?
When the tissues are not able to use the O2 being delivered to it. (ie: cyanide or carbon monoxide poisoning)
The quantity of oxygen bound to hemoglobin plus unbound (disolved) oxygen in the arterial blood is called?
Arterial oxygen content
[1.36 x Hgb concentration x SaO2] + (0.003 x PaO2)
Arterial oxygen content
An increase in dissolved oxygen can substantially increase ________ content in a child with severe anemia
arterial oxygen
Increased Co2 tension (PaCO2) in the blood is called ?
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?
drugs or impaired CNS
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 _____?
lung inflation
Extrapulmonary conditions that cause decreased compliance are ____ and ____?
pneumothorax and pleural effusion
Intrapulmonary conditions that cause decreased compliance are ___ and ___?
pneumonia and inflammatory lung disease.
These conditions are associated with an increase in water content in the interstitial space and aveoli.
Inflammatory lung disease (ARDS) fibrosis.
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 _____?
week chest wall and week respiratory muscles, that makes breathing and coughing ineffective.
Expiration may become an active process in the presence of _____?
increased lower airway resistance
In acute asthma the diaphragm may become _____?
flattened
Breathing is controlled by complex mechanisms involving _____, _____ and _____
*Brainstemb respiratory centers
*central and peripheral chemoreceptors
*Voluntary control
Spontaneous breathing is controlled by a group of respiratory centers located in the brainstem. It is regulated by input from _____ and _____?
central and peripheral chemoreceptors
Central chemoreceptors respond to changes in the __________ of cerebrospinal fluid
hydrogen ion concentration
Central chemoreceptors respond to changes in the Hydrogen ion concentration of cerebrospinal fluid. And is largely determined by the level of ____?
arterial CO2 (PaCO2)
Peripheral chemoreceptors (carotid body) respond primarily to a fall in the _____ but some will respond to a _____ in the PaCO2.
arterial CO2 (PaCO2)

rise
Voluntary control of breathing comes from the ______?
Cerebral cortex
Respiratory failure is a clinical state of inadequate _____, _____ or ____
inadequate oxygenation, ventilation or both.
Respiratory failure may require an ________ analysis, which may not be readily available.
arterial blood gas
When respiratory effort is inadequate _______ may occur without typical signs of respiratory distress.
respiratory failure.
Respiratory distress can be classified as _____, _____, ______, or ______.
upper airway
lower airway
lung tissue disease
disordered control of breathing
Clinical signs of upper airway obstruction?
tachypnea, increases inspiratory effort, changes in voice, stridor, poor chest rise, poor air entry.
clinical signs of lower airway obstruction include?
Tachypnea, wheezing, increases respiratory effort, prolonged experation, cough
A term given to a heterogeneous (diverse) group of clinical conditions that affect the substance of the lung.
Parenchymal
Disordered control of breathing is typically associated with conditions that impair neurologic function, these children will also have a ________?
depressed level of consciousness.
