Cheyne-Stokes respiration an irregular pattern of breathing characterized by
alternating rapid or shallow respiration followed by
slower respiration or apnea
Period of apnea ----> increased RR ---> decreased
RR -----> period of apnea
Cheyene stokes causes Typically caused by heart failure or stroke which
leads to improper breathing mechanisms
Biots respiration causes opioid overdose
Stroke
Trauma to the pons
ultimately means a poor prognosis and deterioration
Biot's respirations Shallow/rapid respirations followed by regular or
irregular periods of apnea
Age related changes in the lungs size of airway and elasticity of alveolar sacs
include decreased
Age related changes in the lungs diameter of alveolar ducts
include increased Collagen of Alveolar walls
Thickness of alveolar membranes
Functional changes in the lungs as you expiratory flow rate
age include decreased oxygen diffusion capacity
exercise capacity
, Functional changes in the lungs as you airway resistance
age include increased pulmonary compliance
dead space
air trapping
AP diameter
Physical findings in the lungs as you inspiratory and expiratory volume
age include decreased forced vital capacity
PaO2
Physical findings in the lungs as you residual volume
age include increased functional residual capacity
Co2
Priority nursing care for COPD HOB elevated
administer bronchodilators and mucolytics
Monitor pulse ox
ACHIEVE AIRWAY CLEARANCE
Chest CPT
Intermitten positive pressure breathing
increase fluid intake to decrease the viscosity of
secretions
Ineffective breathing patterns are due Modified respiratory mechanics of the chest wall and
to lung resulting from air trapping
ineffective diaphragmatic movement
airway obstruction (SELF SECRETION REMOVAL)
Stress
metabolic cost of breathing
Abnormal distention of air spaces emphysema
beyond the terminal bronchioles with
destruction of the walls of the alveoli
