1. Oxygenation Unit Eight
2. Respiratory system
3. Oxygen: a clear, odorless gas that constitutes approximately 21 percent of the air we breathe for necessary all living cell.
Respiration: is the process of gas exchange between individual and the environment.
4. The process of respiration involves several components: Pulmonary ventilation: the movement of air between the atmosphere and alveoli of the lungs.
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between alveoli and capillaries.
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide via blood to tissues.
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between capillaries and cell.
5. Functions of pulmonary system: Ventilation: is the movement of air in and out of the lung.
Respiration: is the process of gas exchange.
6. Manifestations of Altered Respiratory Function Cough
Sputum Production
Shortness of Breath
Chest Pain
Abnormal Breath Sounds
Accessory Muscle Use
Cyanosis
Clubbing fingers.
7. Anatomy and physiology of respiratory system: 1) Upper respiratory tract:
a) Nose made of cartilage and bone and is designed to warm, moisten, and filter air as it comes into the system.
b) Pharynx (throat) conducts food and air.
8. Cont C) Larynx (voice box) connects the pharynx and the trachea; made of cartilage; contains vocal cords.
D) Epiglottis flap of tissue that covers trachea; ensures food travels down the esophagus.
11. Cont 2) Lower Respiratory tract:
Trachea (windpipe) tubular passage way for air; carries air to the lungs, C-shaped cartilage rings, divides at end.
Bronchi pair of tubes that branch from trachea and enter lungs; have cartilage, lining is ciliated & secretes mucus.
Bronchioles tiny tubes lacking cartilage and cilia; possess smooth muscle
12. Alveoli cup shaped structures at the end of the bronchioles that resemble bunches of grapes; are in direct contact with capillaries (gas exchange); covered with SURFACTANT that prevent alveoli from collapsing.
Lungs paired, cone-shaped organs that are surrounded by a pleural membrane, made of elastic tissue, and divided into lobes
13. Mechanics of Breathing Inhaling (active process) Air moves in. Why?
Gases move from an area of high pressure to low pressure
During inspiration diaphragm pulls down and lungs expand
When lungs expand, it increase the volume, which decrease the pressure inside lungs
14. Lung pressure is lower than outside pressure, so air moves in.
Exhaling (passive process) breathing out
Diaphragm and muscles relax
Volume in lungs and chest cavity decreases, so now pressure inside increases.
Air moves out because pressure inside is HIGHER than OUTSIDE atmosphere.
15. Respiration: Exchange of O2 and CO2 between alveoli and blood
Partial pressure of O2 higher in alveoli than blood so O2 diffuses into blood
Partial pressure of CO2 higher in blood than alveoli, so CO2 moves into alveoli in opposite direction and gets exhaled out
17. Internal respiration Internal respiration is exchange of O2 and CO2 between blood and tissues
Pressure of O2 higher in blood than tissues so O2 gets release into tissues.
Pressure of CO2 higher in tissue than in blood so CO2 diffused in opposite direction into blood.
CO2 Is a waste product.
O2 Is used in cellular respiration
18. 3 Muscle Groups of Inhalation Diaphragm:
contraction draws air into lungs
75% of normal air movement
External intercostals muscles:
assist inhalation
25% of normal air movement
Accessory muscles assist in elevating ribs:
sternocleidomastiod
serratus anterior
pectoralis minor
scalene muscles
20. Control of Breathing
Breathing is regulated by the rhythmicity center in the medulla and pons in brain stem.
Carotid body is sensitive to level of oxygen.
medulla ? rate and depth of breathing
21. Pons and medulla
22. Factor effecting oxygenation:
Environment: high altitude increase respiratory rate.
Exercise: physical exercise lead to increase respiratory rate.
Life style: smoking, occupation.
Health status: disease of cardiovascular disease.
Narcotics: morphine decrease respiratory rate.
Stress and anxiety.
23. Respiratory alteration:
Hypoxia: is condition of insufficient oxygen anywhere in the body from the inspired gas to the tissue. Cerebral function can tolerate hypoxia for only 3 to 5 min before permanent damage.
24. Sign of hypoxia:
Rapid pulse.
Rapid shallow respiration.
Increase restlessness.
Flaring nares.
Cyanosis.
25. Hypoventilation: inadequate alveolar ventilation can lead to hypoxia may result from disease of respiratory muscle, drug, and anesthesia.
Hypercabnia: accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Cyanosis: bluish discoloration of the skin nails beds and mucosal membrane
26. Altered breathing pattern: Breathing pattern: rate, volume, rhythm, effort of respiration.
Normal respiration: (Eupnea) quite, rhythmic and effortless.
Tachypnea: rapid rate is seen with fevers, metabolic acidosis, pain and Hypercabnia.
Bradypnea: slow respiration rate, seen with narcotics and increase intracranial pressure from brain injury.
27. Hyperventilation: increase movement of air into and out of the lung.
Dyspnea: difficult of breathing.
Orthopnea: in ability to breathe except in an upright position
28. Obstructed air way:
Partially or completely in upper and lower respiratory tract.
29. Assessment
Nursing history:
Respiratory problem, cardiac problem, life style, cough and sputum.
Physical assessment:
Inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation.
30. Diagnostic studies:
Sputum specimen, throat culture, arterial blood gases.
X- Ray examination.
Bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy.
Pulse oximetry: non invasive device measuring oxygen saturation.
31. Sputum collected for the following reason:
Culture and sensitivity: for identify a specific microorganism.
Cytology: to identify the origin, structure, function and pathology cell.
Acid bacillus: to identify the presence of tuberculosis.
32. Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective air way clearance related to accumulation of secretion.
Ineffective breathing pattern related to dyspnea.
Altered tissue perfusion related to decrease cardiac out put.
Anxiety related to ineffective air way clearance.
33. Implementation:
Positioning the client to allow to maximum chest expansion.
Encourage frequent changes in position.
Encourage ambulating.
Deep breathing exercise and coughing.
Hydration to maintain moisturing of respiratory tract mucous membrane and easily to move respiratory secretion and decease incidence of infection.
34. Oxygen Administration 1: Nasal Cannula.
2: Face Mask.
3: Oxygen Tent (for children).
4: Venturi Mask.
5: Non rebreather Mask.
6: Partial Rebreather Mask.
7: Endotracheal Tube (ETT).
