Lung Basics
The location where gas exchange takes place
Alveoli
Relaxed filling into ventricles
Diastole
prolonged and unmanaged negatively affects cardiopulmonary heart
Stress
placement of arms to enhance respiratory effort
Tripod position
Decreased amount of oxygen in the blood leads to this
Hypoxia
De-oxygentated blood exchanged for oxygenated blood
Perfusion
The contraction phase of the cardiac cycle, sending blood into the aorta and pulmonary arteries
Systole
modifiable risk factor for people wishing to lower blood pressure and reduce risk for heart disease
Dietary Habits
Sign of cardiopulmonary condition indication of increased central venous pressure
Jugular Vein Distension (JVD)
Decreased amount of oxygen in the blood
Hypoxemia
amount of air inspired with each breath
Tidal Volume
volume of blood pumped by left ventricle in 1 minute
Cardiac Output
This causes a decrease in blood flow by promoting vasoconstriction of blood vessels
Smoking
This sound used to describe constriction in upper airways, heard on inhalation
Stridor
confusion, irritability, restlessness, tachypnea, dyspnea, tachycardia or bradycardia, and cyanosis
Signs of Hypoxia
The movement of blood from the heart to the lungs from the capillaries for gas exchange and back
Pulmonary circulation
The blood remaining in left ventricle at the end of diastole
Preload
Aspects of a focused cardiopulmonary assessment
subjective, objective, health history, physical, mental, social
term to describe rapid, deep breathing, blow-off of carbon dioxide
Hyperventilation
Common manifestations caused by Impaired Tissue Perfusion effecting organs
Altered Level of consciousness, chest pain, syncope, arrythmias, decreased urine output and lactic acidosis
Volume of air Remaining in the lung after maximal inspiration
Total lung capacity
amount of resistance or force when the heart ejects blood from the left ventricle
Afterload
Triggered by flight or flight, this leads to increased weight gain by decreased metabolism of fat during stressful periods
Cortisol Level
S/S include weakness, HA, dizziness, SOB, tachycardia
Alkalosis
anxiety, dyspnea with exertion, confusion, disturbed sleep patterns, weakness, and an impaired cough
Signs of Hypoventilation
