Respiratory Anatomy
The name of one of the two body parts that air begin its journey to the lungs.
What is your nose or mouth?
This device consists of a combination of a pressure reducing valve and flowmeter?
What is a regulator?
An increase in airway resistance, An increase in total lung capacity, An increase in functional residual capacity, A decrease in flow.
What is Obstructive Pulmonary disease?(COPD)
This occurs when breathing is inadequate and PaCO2 or respiratory acid builds up. In the process, extra CO2 combines with water — a common occurrence in emphysema.
What is a Respiratory acidosis?
This item should always be at a vented patient's bedside. This is used in code blue responses and emergency ventilatory support and can provide up to 100% FiO2 whether the patient is breathing or not.
What is Ambu bag.(Bag mask)
This is the bigger of the two lungs.
What is the right lung?
Documented hypoxemia, acute care situations in which hypoxemia is suspected, severe trauma, acute myocardial infarction, short-term therapy, and surgical intervention i.e. post-anesthesia recovery.
What are indications for oxygen therapy?
Reduced compliance, thoracic compliance or both. An inability for the lungs to expand, a reduction in volumes.
What is Restrictive Pulmonary disease?(Asthma)
This can occur as a result of hyperventilation.
What is Respiratory alkalosis?
FiO2
What is fraction of inspired oxygen?
This is the part of the lung used for gas exchange.
What are Alveoli?
This is used in code blue responses and emergency ventilatory support and can provide up to 100% FiO2 whether the patient is breathing or not.
What are bag-mask devices?(ambu bag)
Patient's diagnosis with these parameters: low FVC & TLC with normal FEV1/FVC ratio
What is a Restrictive Disease?
This is when there is a decrease in bicarbonates and a buildup of lactic acid occurs. This happens in diarrhea, ketosis, and kidney disorders.
What is Metabolic acidosis?
This is determined by airway resistance and compliance.
What is peak inspiratory pressure?
This is the muscle most used for breathing.
What is the Diaphragm?
This is one of two acute conditions for which Hyperbaric Oxygen would be administered.
What is Air embolism or Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
PFT can be done with 2 methods. These methods may be used together and perform different tests.
What are Spirometry or Plethysmography?
This occurs when bicarbonate ion concentration increases. This can occur in excessive vomiting, dehydration, or endocrine disorders.
What is Metabolic alkalosis?
This can occur when patient has inadequate time to exhale before next breath is delivered, typically signaled by end-expiratory flow > 0 before next breath is delivered.
What is Auto-PEEP?
It occurs when a portion of the chest wall is destabilized, usually from severe blunt force trauma. This alters the mechanics of breathing so that the floating segment of chest wall and soft tissue moves paradoxically in the opposite direction from the rest of the rib cage.
What is flail chest?
They help to conserve oxygen by providing flow during inspiration only.
What do Demand and Pulse-dose systems do?
Apparatus used to determine Raw (airway resistance).
What is a body box?(air tight box)
The extra CO2 from inadequate breathing combines with water to form this specific acid.
What is carbonic acid?
To compensate for a leak or to shorten the inspiratory times on pressure supported breaths you would adjust what setting?
What is ESENS or Expiratory Sensitivity?
