100

Which lung volumes decrease with restrictive lung disease?

IRV, ERV, RV

100

During which cycle of breathing does the diaphram rise?

Exhalation 

100

What are symptoms of left sided HF?

Pulmonary edema, dyspnea, coughing, orthopnea, fatigue

100

What is a normal WBC count range?

4,500-13,000

100

What are 2 important indicators of potential problems with respiration?

RPE, and dyspnea

200

Which lung volume decreases with obstructive disease?

ERV decreases

200

What is perfusion of the lungs?

The amount of blood flowing through the lungs

200

What are symptoms of Right sided HF?

Perherphal edema, weight gain, venous stasis, nausea

200

Normal Hematocrit (Hct)?

36%-46% 

200

signs and symptoms of cardiac distress

Angina, nausea, dyspnea, fatigue, Pallor/cyanosis, syncope, Palpitations, peripheral edema, claudication. 

300

Which lung volume increases with obstructive lungs disease?

RV increases because you are not expelling all of the air you normally would

300

During upright position where is the gravity independent, middle, and gravity dependent zones?

Apex= independent= dead space

Middle: equal V:Q ratio

Bases: shunt, low V:Q ratio

300

What type of breathing could occur during HF if metabolic acidosis is a factor?

Kussmaul's respiration

300

Normal Hemoglobin (Hgb)?

12.0-16.0

300

What lab value changes with MI and why?

CPK due to muscle damage from heart attach and ischema. 

400

Which 2 volumes = inspiratory capacity?

IRV and TV

400

What is the pH and PaCO2 during respiratory acidosis? What is a cause?

Low pH, High PaCO2, alveolar hypoventilation 

400

What is the normal EF, and EF during HF?

Normal: 67% +/-8, during HF: 40%-50%

400

Normal platelet count? Ranges for ADLs only, light exercise, and moderate exercise?

153,000-367,000 Normal

<5,000 bed rest 

5,000-20,000: ADLs

20,000-50,000: light exercise only, light resistance

50,000-1500,000: moderate exercise 


400

What is the test and treatment for intermitten claudication?

Pain that begins during walking or exercise and subsides with rest. Cramping, pain in the LE/ calf. treatment: Walking on a treadmill until pain begins, resting until pain subsides and then repeating 2-3 times. 

500

Which vaules= total lung capacity?

IRV + TV + ERV +RV

500

Which acid-base balance happens during heart failure?

Metabolic acidosis

500

Which tests are used to determine HF?

Pneumocystis Carinii Pneumonia
