Antidote to drug -overdose, respiratory depression
Narcan
Resp depression occurs at what ph
ph less than 7.15 or ph greater than 7.45
Where is rate and depth of resp controlled
medulla oblongata- inspiratory and expiratory center
What acid base levels reflect resp failure
PO2 less than or = to 50mmhg or PCO2 greater than 50mmhg with PH less than 7.25
What is Croup
Severe inflammation of upper airways- by a virus
Manifestations of Croup
Inspiratory stridor with bark like cough, and laryngeal edema to various degrees
Who's affected by croup
Kids up to 3 yrs
Croup tx
Aerosolized epinephrine, , decadron, cool mist, antipyretics
Manifestations of resp failure
Decreased resp excursion
Acessory muscle use
Retractions
Treatment of Resp failure
Morphiner
Ativan
Bronchodilators
O2
Intubate
Mech vent with peep
S/S of inhalation of a foreign body
Drooling , mostly with kids
Best way to see Sinusitis
Use illumination to visualize blockage
Sinusitis s/s
H/A, cough in the prone position, fever, sore throat
Sinusitis Teaching
Throw away tooth brush after abts
Larengeal edema treatment
Epinephrine and ice packs to the throat
Causes of Laryngeal edema
Severe inflammations of the throat, such as croup, anaphylaxis, scarlett fever
Chronic Bronchitis is?
A form of COPD where airways are narrowed and filled with mucous that impairs airway clearance
Is Chronic Bronchitis reversible?
No the narrowing of the small airways is irreversible leading to hypoxemia and CO2 retention
Manifestations of Chronic Bronchitis
Dyspnea, increased sputum with a productive cough prolonged expiration and rhonchi and wheezing
DX of Chronic Bronchitis
CXR- hyperinflation
PFT's - expiratory volumes are decreased but residual voulumes are increased
What do these Chronic Bronchitis dx mean
You breathe in but because of narrowed airways from mucous and inflamm the air can't get back out( lungs hyper inflate and air trap)
Diet needs for Chronic Bronchitis
Protein, Vit C, nitrogen, and calories
What color is a person with chronic bronchitis
They will be dusky to cyanotic (they are hypoxic and have hypercapnia and acidosis)
What will you notice about Chronic Bronchitis
They are pale, cyanotic, edematous, breathing fast, appear soa with little exertion, digital clubbing
S/S of hypoxemia and hypercapnia (may occur toghether)
H/A, irritable, confused, cardiac arrhythmia's increased heart rate , asterixis
What is a freq s/s of hypercapnia
Morning headache
s/s of hypocapnia
tachypnea, vertigo, tingling of extremities, muscle weakness and muscle spasm
What is hypocapnia
It means you have PCO2 of less than 35mmhg in resp alkalosis usually by a state of hyperventilation- blowing off to much carbon dioxide
Early S/S of resp depression
anxious, restless, confused, and the resp rate becomes slow and shallow
Late s/s of resp depression
lethargic and possible cyanotic
Why does COPD cause hypoventilation
It traps air in the alveoliand decreases the exchange of gases
Why does increased airway resistance cause hypoventilation
It prevents air from reaching the lungs , there is an actual decrease in the diameter of the airway and it decreases ventilation
Things that increase airway resistance
Laryngeal edema, Croup, asthma, COPD sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, sleep apnea, trapped foreign body
Effects of Hypoventilation
Hypoxemia, Hypoxia and hypercapnia because O2 can't get in and CO2 cant get out
What is atelectasis
A decrease in the available Os absorbing surface- alveolar collapse(localized)
What are the s/s of Atelectasis
diminished breath sounds, dyspnea, anxiety, cyanosis, diaphoresis, tachycardia, retractions
What does atelectasis look like in
Very nervous, breathing hard and fast with lots of chest movement (retractions), turning blue (lack of O2)
Treatment for atelectasis
bronchodilators, db/c, analgesics inspirometry
What is Flail chest
having 2 or more fx ribs in 2 or more places= chest trauma
What does flail chest look like
See-saw breathing(paradoxical chest wall movement), and will become cyanotic be sob, and intense pain on inspiration
abg-flail
hypoxemia, and hypercapnia because gas x-change is impaired
Why does mediastinal shift occur with flail chest
when patient breaths in the ribs move in and shift the mediastinum to the unaffected side
v/q ratio with flail chest
decreased ventilation and increased dead space
What can the CO2 retention in flail chest lead to
respiratory acidosis from the hypercapnia
What is a bad complication that should be watched for with Flail Chest
Tension Pneumothorax
Mild flail chest
Splint when coughing and deep breathing
Which side should you place a flail chest patient on
The affected side to support the rib segment
What is a pneumothorax
collapsed lung the parietal or visceral pleura is punctured
What happens with the airflow in peumothorax
Atmospheric air enters the pleural space(- the normal neg atmospherice pressure is what maintains lung inflation)
Closed Pneumothorax is and caused by
rupture, bleb or blister on the lungs surface emphysema can cause it
