Lung Capacity
The volume of air inspired and expired in a normal breath
Tidal Volume
pH = 7.22
pCO2 = 55
HCO3 = 25Respiratory Acidosis
The correct suction setting
20 cm
This type of lung disease includes conditions that make it hard to exhale all the air in the lungs
Obstructive Disorders
The surgical opening of the trachea to provide and secure an open airway
Tracheostomy
The maximum amount of air inhaled at the point of maximum expiration
Inspiratory Reserve
pH = 7.50
pCO2 = 42
HCO3 = 33
Metabolic Alkalosis
Bubbling in the water seal chamber indicates this
A chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that causes hyperresponsiveness, mucosal edema, and mucus production
An oxygen administration device with one-way valves for inspiration and expiration and a reservoir bag, used to attain high concentrations of oxygen
Non-rebreather mask
The maximum amount of air exhales after a resting expiration
Expiratory Reserve
pH = 7.32
pCO2 = 47
HCO3 = 26
Respiratory Acidosis
The water level in the water seal rises and falls in rhythm with the patient's respirations indicates this
It is operating correctly
In this lung disorder, ciliary function is reduced, bronchial walls thicken, bronchial airways narrow, and mucous may plug airways
Chronic Bronchitis
A device that provides two pressures to spontaneously breathing patients during noninvasive ventilation.
BiPAP
The maximum amount of air exhaled after a maximum inspiration
Vital Capacity
pH = 7.32
pCO2 = 35
HCO3 = 18
Metabolic Acidosis
What is the purpose of the suction chamber?
It pulls the pleura to the chest wall
In this respiratory disorder, you see abnormal distention of air spaces beyond the terminal bronchioles with destruction of the walls of the alveoli with an increase in lung compliance
Emphysema
Suppressed respiratory drive and low O2 tension are potential complications of what?
Oxygen Therapy
The amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled in the first second after a full inspiration
Forced Expiratory Volume
pH = 7.53
pCO2 = 28
HCO3 = 25
Respiratory Alkalosis
What is the purpose of the water seal?
It prevents air re-entry
This respiratory disorder is an airless condition of alveoli caused by hypoventilation, obstruction to airways, or compression
Atelectasis
O2 concentrations of greater than 50% for extended periods of time (longer than 48 hours) can cause an overproduction of free radicals, which can severely damage cells
Oxygen Toxicity
