Study Notes
Respiratory System Dysfunction
- Function Issue: Difficult to rid airway of substances
- Strutter Issue: Damaged or malfunctioning aviali
- Effort to relax, contract, and breathe
- Narrowing of airway caused by asthma, choking, pulmonary edema, broken rib
- Diculased Compliance is stimulated by rishmathy to 8 u's
-
Expanding and Contracting of lungs: Inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
- Recoil of lung maintains surface tension
- Impaired Gas-Exchange: plebicates aloes
- Nasal flaring, abdominal muscles raising, and shoulders rising are all signs of respiratory distress.
- Oxygenated Blood: Dispersed throughout the body
- Factors that can alter lung capacity: Pregnancy, obesity, disorders, physical activity
Lung Volumes
- Amount of air exhaled after normal expiration: Tidal Volume
- Amount of air left in the lungs after a normal expiration: Residual Volume
- Maximum amount of air exhaled after a forced expiration: Forced Vital Capacity
Consequences of Respiratory Distress
- Increased Heart Rate: To compensate
- Flood of fluid in a part of the lung (ramous tdFhpuuae)
Hemoglobin
- Hemoglobin transports oxygen.
- Hemoglobin binds with oxygen.
- Oxygen detaches from hemoglobin.
Oxygen Deficiency
- Low oxygen or hemoglobin leads to fatigue.
- Involuntary breathing
- Oxygenation
Heart
- 4 Chambers: Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle
- 4 Valves: Tricuspid Valve, Pulmonary Valve, Mitral Valve, Aortic Valve
- Systole: Ejecting blood
- Diastole: Filling with blood
- Stroke Volume: The volume of blood ejected during systole
- Starling’s Law: More stretch, more contraction.
- Heart Murmurs: Issues with valves
- Clogged Coronary Arteries: May lead to heart attack
Circulation
- Cardiac Output: The amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute (4-6 Liters).
- Blood Flow and Resistance: Blood flow determines the amount of work resistance.
- Ejection Fraction: Percentage of blood ejected by the heart during systole.
Blood Issues
- Low Blood Count: Low red blood cell count
- Low Hemoglobin: Low hemoglobin level
- Hemoglobin binds with oxygen.
Anemia
- Anemia is a condition when the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen.
- Anemia can be caused by a variety of factors, including iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, and chronic diseases.
Signs and Symptoms of Respiratory Illness
- Numbness and tingling
- Headache
- Lightheadedness
- Mental status changes
- Blue coloring of the lips, nose, and fingertips
Treatments for Respiratory Illnesses
- Bronchodilators
- Oxygen therapy
- Antibiotics, if the infection is bacterial
