Patient Assessment
This vital sign represents the number of breaths taken in one minute.
What is the respiratory rate?
These are the gas exchange units of the lung.
What are alveoli?
This is also known as the law of partial pressures.
What is Dalton's Law?
The classification for this ABG:
7.51/22/89/25/6/.96
What is uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with normoxemia?
The amount of air left in your lungs after exhaling maximally.
What is the residual volume?
Blood pressure is measured with a sphygmomanometer over this vessel, located in the antecubital fossa.
What is the brachial artery?
These tubes open into the lateral nasopharynx with the middle ear and mastoid sinuses
Eustachian Tubes
The use of hyperbaric chambers to treat air embolisms is based on this gas law
Boyle's Law
Ingesting excessive licorice will cause this type of pH disturbance
Metabolic Alkalosis
Body plethysmography applies this gas law
Boyles Law (pressure and volume are inversely proportional)
A normal mean blood pressure (MAP) is within this range (provide units).
What is 70 - 110 mmHg?
These cuboidal cells occupy less then 5% of the alveolar surface and are the source of pulmonary surfactant
Type II granular pneumocytes or septal cells
The ability of our lungs to exchange gas at the A - C membrane is related to this gas law.
Fick's Law
ETOH associated starvation can cause this type of acidosis
Anion Gap Metabolic Acidosis
An FEV1/FVC of less than 70% is indicative of this.
Obstructive process
The GCS for a patient opening their eyes to pain, saying incomprehensible words and localizing to pain.
GCS 9
Coronary blood flow occurs during this phase of a cardiac cycle
Diastole
Guy Lussac's Law
P1/T1 = P2/T2 (pressure and temperature are directly proportional)
Classify this gas: 7.25/54/105/17/0.98
Combined acidosis with hyperoxemia
FEF 25-50% reflects flow rates in these airways
Small airways
Alternating succession of strong and weak pulses suggestive of left heart failure or severe asthmatic episode
Pulsus Alternas
The ability of the cardiac muscle to initiate spontaneous electrical impulses
inherent rhythmicity or automaticity
Charles Law states what about volume and temperature
They are directly proportional
Use of iNO requires close monitoring of this dyshemoglobin
MetHgb
The lung volume that includes TV, IRV and ERV
