Document Content and Description Below

List 11 clinical signs of tissue hypoxia that indicate respiratory distress. Correct Answer: 1-tachypnea 2-bradypnea (late) 3-apnea (late) 4-tachycardia (early) 5-bradycardia (late and ominous) ... 6-cyanosis (late) 7-pallor 8-nasal flaring 9-fatigue 10-agitation 11-altered mental status The above were signs of what medical condition that can be immediately life threatening? Explain difference between hypoxemia and tissue hypoxia. Correct Answer: 1-Hypoxemia is low oxygen content in arterial blood. Initially measured with pulse oximetry. 2-Tissue hypoxia is low oxygen content in tissues other than arterial blood. There is no direct test for measuring tissue hypoxia. We depend on clinical signs to detect this condition. 3-Hypoxemia and hypoxia are not mutually assured. You can have hypoxia without hypoxemia and vica-versa, Is hypoxia the same as hypercarbia? Correct Answer: No. HypOxIA and HypERCARBIA are two different conditions. They have different clinical signs, but these signs do overlap, making the use of ABG critical in differentiating the two conditions. What blood test can be used to differentiate hypoxia from hypercarbia as causes of signs of respiratory distress? Correct Answer: Arterial Blood Gas can pick up hypercarbia, but not hypoxemia. Compare signs of hypoxia and hypercarbia. Correct Answer: Hypoxia Hypercarbia 1-tachypnea 1-tachypnea 2-bradypnea (late) 3-apnea (late) 4-tachycardia (early) 5-bradycardia (late) 6-cyanosis (late) 7-pallor 8-nasal flaring 2-nasal flaring 9-fatigue 3-fatigue 10-agitation 4-agitation 11-altered mental status 5-altered mental status How is respiratory dist [Show More]
