FISDAP AIRWAY STUDY GUIDE, QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS, 2023 FILE 100/100 SCORE

Document Content and Description Below

Alveolar air volume Correct ans - amount of air that reaches alveoli for gas exchange (approx. 350 ml. For adult male) Tidal volume minus dead space Dead air space Correct ans - anatomic dead space ... are structures that hold air but but can't participate in gas exchange. Physiologic dead space are alveoli or capillaries destroyed by disease Expiratory reserve volume Correct ans - amount of gas that can be forcefully expired at the end of a normal expiration Inspiratory reserve volume Correct Ans - amount of gas that can be forcefully inspired in addition to a normal breaths tidal volume Internal respiration Correct ans - exchange of gases between blood cells and tissues Peak expiratory flow Correct ans - the greatest rate of airflow during forced expiration when lungs are fully inflated Residual volume Correct ans - after maximal forced exhalation, amount of air remaining not able to be expelled Tidal volume Correct ans - amount of air in a respiratory cycle (500 ml, 5-7ml/kg) Minute volume Correct ans - amount of gas moved in and out of respiratory tract per minute Air trapping Correct ans - a respiratory pattern associated with an obstruction in the pulmonary tree. Rate increases to overcome resistance. Angle of Louis Correct ans - angulation of the sternum that indicates the point where the second rib joins the sternum. (manubriosternal junction) Anoxia Correct ans - total lack of oxygen available to the tissues Apnea Correct ans - respiratory arrest Atelectasis Correct ans - abnormal condition characterized by collapse of alveoli, preventing exchange of CO2 and O2 in a part of the lungs Barrier device Correct ans - thin film of material placed on the patient's face used to prevent direct contact with the patient's mouth during PPV Carina Correct ans - where the trachea divides into right and left bronchi Ronchi Correct ans - rattling or rumbling in the lungs. Inspiration and expiration. Fluid in larger airways and may be cleared from a cough. Stridor Correct ans - harsh, high-pitched inspiratory sound best heard over the neck Rattles (ronchi) Correct ans - inflammation and mucus or fluid in larger airways heard on inspiration. Associated with bronchitis or pneumonia Crackles (rales) Correct ans - wet lungs - sounds like hair rolled in finger tips. fluid in smaller airways, crackling or popping sound on inspiration, sound that indicates presence of fluid in smaller airways Croup Correct ans - viral infection in upper airway that sounds like a seal bark Wheeze Correct ans - whistling sound heard on inspiration or expiration in pharynx, trachea, bronchi Biot's respirations Correct ans - irregular respirations and rate with periods of apnea from increased ICP, brain damage at medulla, DKA, and OD'ing Agonal respirations Correct ans - slow, shallow, irregular from anoxic brain injury Central neurogenic hyperventilation Correct ans - similar to kussmaul respirations, deep and rapid breathing from increased ICP [Show More]
