| A | B |
|---|
| compliance | lungs have ability to expand and recoil |
| hypoxemia | low blood ox level |
| hypercapnia | excessive carbon dioxide in blood |
| hypoxia | low ox in tissue |
| signs of empending R failure | grunting, dyspnea, tachpnea, nasal flaring |
| apnea | stop breathing 20 sec - or cyanosis, pallor |
| Apparent life threatening event ALTE | apnea accompanied by cyanosis, limp, pallor, choke |
| if you have ALTE, increased risk for | cardiopulmonary arrest |
| croup | broad classification of upper airyway illness |
| epiglottitis, LTB, bacterial s/s | stridor, seal-like bark cough, hoarseness |
| LTB is | viral invasion of upper airway |
| epiglottitis is | life threatening - 2-8 years |
| laryngotracheobronchitis LTB | danger children under 6 b/k airway obstruction |
| airway tissues respond to virus w/ | inflammation and edema |
| bronchopulmonary dysplasia | lung disease due to prolong ox therapy |
| asthma | chronic inflammation - airways narrow and hyper reactive to stimuli |
| lasix | diuretic - need potassium |
| aldactone | diuretic - potassium sparing |
| asthma has | 4 classifications |
| step 1 | mild intermittent - less 2 per week no meds |
| step 2 | mild persistent - more 2/week - not daily - low dose inhaled corticosteriods |
| step 3 | moderate persistent - daily - low dose inhaled corticosteriods - beta 2 agonist |
| step 4 | severe persistent - continuous - high dose corticosteriod - long act beta 2 |
| beta 2 agonist do what | relax smooth muscle |
| anticholinergic do what | inhibits bronchoconstriction - lows mucus production |
| cystic firbrosis leads to | thick mucus - bronchoiles, small I, pancreas |
| cystic fibrosis administer ___ with meals | pancreatic enzymes |
