231 respiratory

1. airwway ___ elasticity/expandability of lungs
3. diagnose or treat lung condition, direct visualization of lungs. Informed consent, NPO, preop meds, conscious sedation, NPO until gag reflex is back
4. 4-8L
7. breathing. Moving air in and out of the lungs.
8. is the actual blood flow across the pulmonary vasculature
9. better able to distinguish normal versus abnormal tissue. Consider tight space, impants, patches
11. densities produced by fluid, tumors, bodies, and other conditions. Hold breath. Standing or sitting
13. Timing: rinse mouth with water, clear nasal mucus, take 2-3 breaths and cough into diaphragm, spit into container. Occur BEFORE start of antibiotic
14. breathing out
17. nursing ___ for pulmonary embolism; O2, IV, anxiety/pain management, assess bleeding risk, lab monitoring, anticoagulants, streptokinase, embolectomy
19. fine tissue densities and detect those not seen in xray. Can examine vasculature. NPO 4 hrs with contrast
20. 10-15L
22. interventions include, antibiotics, airway clearance, prevention, semi/high fowlers
23. spreading of CO2 and O2 across alveolar capillary membrane
24. 8-11 L
25. scan gold standard for PE
26. decrease O2 in tissue

2. breathing in
5. gas exchanged between air and blood at cellular level. Venous blood goes to lungs and has a higher amount of CO2, so it crosses to alveoli and oxygen then goes to blood from there.
6. what are these for lung cancer;none until late, chronic cough, dypnea, COPD, hemoptysis, chest or shoulder pain, hoarseness, weakness, anorexia, weight loss
10. airway __ : size of the airway (inflammation obstruction, tumor)
12. interventions include,IS use, TCDB, early ambulation, avoid sedation, encourage fluids
15. measures CO2
16. buildup of CO2 in blood
18. decrease O2 in blood
21. assessment = sudden onset of dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, tachypnea, hemoptysis
