Potpourri
100
Refers to the gas exchange in the lungs.
What is respiration
100
High pitched continueous musical sounds often heard on expiration. Caused by narrowing of airways.
What is wheezing
100
Normal rate of breathing
What is 12-22 breaths per minute
100
Delivers oxygen at 1-6 liters/minute.
What is a nasal cannula
100
Occurs when a persons rate and depth of breathing increases enough to move a large amount of air throug the lungs.
What is hyperventilation
200
Movement of air into and out of the lungs through the act of breathing
What is ventilation
200
Low pitched continueous soundscaused by secretions in large airways
What is rhonchi
200
Deep, shallow, and normal describe this.
What is respiratory depth
200
Delivers oxygen at 5-10 liters/minute via a clear flexible mask
What is a simple face mask
200
This occurs when a decreased rate or depth of breathing only moves a small amount of air in/out of the lungs
What is hypoventilation
300
Poor oxygenation in organs and tissues
What is hypoxia
300
Discontinueous sounds usually heard on inspiration. May be high pitched popping sounds or low pitched bubbling sounds
What are crackles
300
Regular and irregular describe this
What is respiratory rhythm
300
Delivers oxygen at 6-15 liters/minute. Has a resevoir bag attached that keeps exhaled air from entering the resevoir bag
What is a non-rebreather mask
300
These are 3 factors that influcence respiration
What are smoking, excercise, allergies, air quality, temperature, altitude, nutrition, weight, and age/developmental state
400
Low arterial blood oxygen
What is hypoxemia
400
Piercing high pitched sounds primarily heard during inspiration of those experiencing respiratory distress.
What is strider
400
Laboured/dyspnea and unlaboured describe this
What is respiratory effort
400
Delivers 24-50% oxygen via a cone shaped adapter to serve as a mixer for room air and oxygen
What is a Venturi mask
400
The inability to breathe when in a horizontal position
What is orthopnea
500
A thin double-layered membrane that lines the chest cavity and covers the outside of the lungs
What is pleura
500
Laboured breathing that produces a snoring sound
What is stertor
500
Normal amount of air taken into the lungs by a normal healthy adult
What is 300-500ml of air per breath
500
Delivers oxygen at 4-10 liters/min through a small cup shaped device that fits over a tracheostomy opening
What is a trach collar
500
This is the best position for a client suffering from respiratory issues to increase oxygenation
What is fowlers/high fowlers
