Pneumonia
S&S include lower extremity edema, weight gain, dyspnea
What is pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Blood test used to diagnosis acute respiratory failure
What is an ABG?
This ABG is indicative of a patient with _____
pH 7.38 , PaCO2 58, PaO2 90, HCO3 22
COPD
This nursing intervention helps prevent post op complications, including pneumonia and DVT
What is mobility?
Obstruction in a pulmonary vessel that results in impaired gas exchange
What is a PE
S&S include fever, chills, dyspnea, pain
What is pneumonia?

Hypercapnic
Initial intervention to treat patients with pulmonary disorders who present with hypoxia
What is oxygen administration?
Caused by chronic airflow obstruction due to progressive airway limitations and chronic airway inflammation
What is COPD
Vessel wall injury, venous stasis, and altered blood coagulability
What is Virchow's Triad
Used to view the airway and the lungs, and to identify any pathology in the lungs

pH 7.5 PaCO2 30 PaO2 80 HCO3 26
Respiratory alkalosis
Type of ventilation used to correct respiratory acidosis in a patient who is spontaneously breathing
BiPAP
Acute condition that results from impaired gas exchange causing hypoxemia, hypercapnia, or both.
What is acute respiratory failure?
S/S include dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, anxiety, dry cough
What is a PE?
Used to identify a ventilation and perfusion mismatch
What is a VQ scan?
Respiratory alkalosis frequently occurs in patients who are in __________
