ARF S/S
Mental status changes
What is one of the first signs of hypoxemia
Increased respiratory rate, atelectasis, pulmonary edema.
What is the injury/exudative phase
The two types of ARF
what are Hypoxemic and Hypercapnic
This is a common cause of ARDS
What is sepsis
Decreases inflammation in the airways
What is a corticosteroid?
This is a classic sign of hypercapnia
What is a morning headache
Severe hypoxemia, scar tissue is covering lungs.
What is fibrotic/fibroproliferative phase?
Pulmonary Embolism, pneumonia, Ventral septal defect cardiogenic shock
What are causes of ARF
Occurs when a patient does not recover from the reparative phase.
What is fibrotic phase.
This decreases pulmonary congestion
What is a diuretic? (furosemide)
A simple controlled breathing technique that helps reduce shortness of breath by slowing your breathing rate and keeping airway open longer
What is pursed lip breathing
Patient is receiving 15L of O2 and cannot maintain O2 levels.
What is refractory hypoxemia?
ARF causes increased calorie needs and causes nutritional deficiency because?
What is a hypermetabolic state?
Influx of neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, and fibroblasts, causes V/Q mismatch
What is the reparative/proliferative phase.
What is morphine?
This maximizes lung expansion and eases breathing
What is tripod postioning
Alveolar-capillary membrane is damaged and permeable to fluid.
pH 7.48
PaCo2 30
HCO3 24
What is uncompensated respiratory alkalosis
Impaired immune response, aspiration of GI contents.
What is VAP?
Need to monitor for tachycardia when given.
What is a bronchodilator, such as albuterol.
Not enough O2 is transferred to the blood or inadequate CO2 is removed from the lung.
What is ARF?
pulmonary hypertension, diaphoresis, pallor, crackles, cyanosis
What is the reparative phase?
Respiratory system cannot maintain CO2 levels WNL
What is hypercapnic respiratory failure?
pH 7.30
PCO2 49
HCO3 25
What is partially compensated respiratory acidosis
prophylactic management to prevent VTE
What is anticoagulant, such as heparin?
