1. internal respira- -gas exchange between the cells and the systemic capillaries
tion -deliver oxygen, pick up CO2
2. external respira- -gas exchange between alveoli and pulmonary capillaries
tion
3. cellular respira- -body cells break down glucose to produce ATP for the cell
tion -aerobic and anaerobic
-glycolysis, Krebs, ETC
4. proper technique 1. put together the machine
for suctioning 2. reposition the airway
3.insert rigid catheter
4. hold down suction and sweep through mouth and remove
5. no more than 10 sec
5. types of ab- -rhonchi
normal breath -wheezing
sounds -crackles
6. wheezing -high pitched whistling sound
-swelling and constriction of the lining of the airways
-heard on exhalation
-asthma, emphysema, bronchitis
7. rhonchi -snot in the tube
-obstruction of airways due to thick mucus secretions
-heard changes based on position
-bronchitis, emphysema, pneumonia
8. crackles -heard on inhalation
-fluid in alveoli or small bronchioles
-pneumonia, pulmonary edema

9. how to size opa -from corner of mouth to earlobe
10. how to size npa -tip of nose to earlobe
11. desired effects of -relaxes smooth muscle of bronchioles reverses bronchoconstriction
a beta2 agonist -better gas exchange
-effective movement of air in and out of the alveoli
12. presentations of -tachycardia (130+)
pediatric hypox- -elevation in blood pressure (100/70)
ia based on vital
signs
13. pediatric blood 100/70
pressure
14. why do children -twice the metabolic rate
become hypoxic -small oxygen reserve
so much faster
than adults?
15. predict hypoxia -hypoxia is more likely the lower the circulating blood volume
based on circu-
lating blood vol-
ume
16. common causes -tongue
of upper airway -foreign body
obstruction -aspiration
-swelling
-infection
-trauma

17. explain airway -head is large compared to body so padding might be need in order to keep the
alignment of pe- airway aligned but not stretched
diatric under 2
years
18. bronchodilator -medication that relaxes and expands the smooth muscle in the bronchi
-inhaler
-asthma
19. artificial ventila- -mouth to mouth
tion -BVM
20. tidal volume to -600mL adult
deliver with BVM -500mL children
21. signs of inade- -abnormal working of breath
quate breathing -abnormal breath sounds
-reduced minute ventilation
-inadequate chest movement
-tachypnea
-irregular respiratory pattern
22. detrimental ef- -high concentration of O2 can decrease arterial flow and may increase systemic
fects of PPV resistance
-increase free radical production causing increased tissue damage
-oxygen toxicity
-easy to overventilate
-can cause respiratory distress/arrest in COPD patients
23. contraindica- -apnea, agonal respirations, respiratory arrest
tions for CPAP -unresponsiveness
-cant maintain own airway
-shock
