Breathing
These 2 gases are exchanged during respiration
O2, CO2
What are the 3 parts of a respiratory assessment
Look, Listen and feel
Water makes up how much of the body
50-70% of body weight
This is the chief extracellular cation
Sodium
Normal blood ph is
7.35-7.45
Gas exchange occurs in these tiny sacs in the lungs
Alveoli
What is a normal O2 sat
95-100%
Example of Extracellular Fluid
Plasma, Interstitial fluid and small specilized fluids
when this is out of range, serious heart issues arrise
Potassium
These 3 systems control ph
Buffers, Lungs, Kidneys
Define external respiration
Occurs between the alveoli and capillaries
Name 2 tests for Respiratory status
Sputum culture, ABG, CXR, Peak Flow
These hormones help the body regulate water
ADH, Aldosterone, and ANP
This requires Vit D to be absorbed by the body
Calcium
What causes Respiratory Acidosis
Retaining too much CO2
Signs of Hypoxia
Agitation, anxiety, change in LOC, Confusion, headache, restlessness, tachypnea
Later- Bradycardia, dysrhythmias, Cyanosis, bradypnea, retractions
What is a Bronchoscopy
Used to diagnose lung conditions such
as interstitial disease, infection, airway
blockage and cancer; also used to dilate
narrowed airways
What part of the brain makes you feel thirsty
Hypothalamus
Leg cramps may be a sign that this is low
Magnesium
What causes metabolic acidosis
Too much acid or low bicarb, usually kidney or diabetes related, DKA, ACD, diarrhea
Reasons for impaired O2
Obstruction, anemia, atelectasis (lung collapse), Disease, High altitude, hypoventilation, poor circulation,
respiratory test used to
determine lung capacity, volume, and flow
rates?
Pulmonary Function Test
Signs of hypovolemia
dry mouth, thirst, poor skin turgor, tachycardia, weak pulse, hypotension, decreased urine output
This is important for ATP, Bones, RBS and Cell Membranes
Phosphorus
What is the most sensitive way to judge fluid loss or gain
Daily weight
