LEARNING UNITS Title Number Version DIPL IGNS 2 NET ED 0040/24 MAY 2024 STUDY GUIDE PART 2 Page Page 19 of 195 LEARNING UNIT 6 DISORDERS AFFECTING OXYGENATION INTRODUCTION The need for oxygen is the most fundamental physiological need of a person. The absence of oxygen can lead to cellular, tissue, and organ death (Berman, et al., 2021, p. 1303). Oxygen is required to extract energy from food. Oxygenation includes the uptake and utilization of oxygen by the tissues, while at the same time the elimination of carbon dioxide from the tissues. The processes of oxygenation include breathing, gas exchange in the lungs, transportation of oxygen to the tissues via the circulatory system, uptake, and utilization of oxygen in the cells, transportation of carbon dioxide to the lungs via the circulatory system, and the exhalation of carbon dioxide via the lungs. Any factor interfering with the processes may lead to an unmet oxygenation need e.g., the lack of oxygen, inadequate circulation and/or pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange. In learning unit 6 we will be exploring disorders affecting oxygenation. The learning unit consists of 3 sub-divisions. See the section on pre-lecture preparation and ensure you come to class prepared. Title Number Version DIPL IGNS 2 NET ED 0040/24 MAY 2024 STUDY GUIDE PART 2 Page Page 20 of 195 PRE-KNOWLEDGE 1.

Learning Unit 6.1 Introduction to Disorders Affecting Oxygenation INTRODUCTION Oxygen is required to ensure optimum functioning of all living cells. The absence of oxygen can lead to cellular, tissue, and organism death (Berman, et al., 2021/2022, p. 1303). Cellular metabolism produces carbon dioxide which needs to be eliminated from the body. The delivery of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide require the integration of several systems including the respiratory, haematological, and cardiovascular systems. In this integrated system, the respiratory system provides the first process i.e., the movement and Title Number Version DIPL IGNS 2 NET ED 0040/24 MAY 2024 STUDY GUIDE PART 2 Page Page 23 of 195 transfer of gasses between the atmosphere and the blood.

APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS Upon completion of this learning unit, you will be able to demonstrate the integration of knowledge regarding the management of patients with obstructive pulmonary disorders. SUMMARY Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder was discussed in this learning unit. Asthma can both be classified as an inflammatory pulmonary disorder and an obstructive pulmonary disorder. COPD, except for asthma, is preventable. The key to the prevention of COPD is the cessation of smoking, as inhaled cigarette smoke irritates the mucous membrane of the bronchi contributing to inflammation with repeated infection leading to pathophysiological changes typical of COPD. Health information and prevention are essential to the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. This learning unit aims to equip you with the required knowledge to effectively manage patients suffering from obstructive pulmonary diseases.
