MODULE III 2016 ECRN CE: Respiratory assessment (Adult), capnography IDPH Site Code: 107200E-1216 Teresa Ehrhardt BSN, RN, TNS
Objectives Upon successful completion of this module, the ECRN provider will be able to: • Discuss the steps necessary to perform an assessment of the patient’s respiratory system. • Interpret lung sounds when presented with a variety of audible recordings. • Choose the appropriate Region X SOP intervention based on scenario presentation of respiratory complaint. • Review the benefits of capnography and how it is used in the field. • Justify a diagnosis based on the waveform capnography reading and patient signs and symptoms. • Successfully complete the post quiz with a score of 80% or better.
Respiratory Assessment in the Adult • RESPIRATORY ASSESSMENT CONSISTS OF 3 PARAMETERS • Respiratory Rate • Respiratory Effort • Quality of Respiration Assessed by • Inspection (Visualization) • Palpation (Feel) • Percussion (Tap) • Auscultation (LISTEN)
Inspection • Form your general impression (LOOK!) • Chest • Is it uniform? • Is the chest wall movement symmetrical? • Is the A-P diameter large? • Is there any sign of trauma?
Palpation • Feel for abnormalities • Feel for tenderness • Feel for loose segments • Feel for crepitus • Feel for vibrations (fremitus)
Percussion • Determine if underlying tissues are air filled, fluid filled, or solid • Determine the position of the diaphragm • Note if percussion is different on one side
Auscultation • Listen to the chest • Evaluate sounds heard • Differentiate between vesicular and adventitious breath sounds
Let’s Listen Common Lung Sounds
Putting it all together • Video
Capnography • Understand M-V-P • Metabolism • Ventilation • Perfusion
Capnography Why Capnography???
Respiratory Emergencies Airway Obstruction, Pulmonary Edema, COPD, Asthma
Upper Airway obstruction • Tongue • Foreign body • Trauma • Burns • Allergic reaction
Pulmonary Edema • Cardiogenic pulmonary edema • Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema • Causes • Presentation • Tests and studies • Treatment Video
COPD • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease • Symptoms • Causes • Risk Factors • Complications • Treatment
Asthma • Symptoms • Causes • Risk Factors • Complications • Treatment
