What should you do? Dyspnea - ANSWER Which term best describes respiratory difficulty? 350 mL The average adult ventilation is 500 mL, but there is an area of dead space that traps 150 mL of air. 350 mL effectively reaches the alveoli for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. - ANSWER What is the amount of air that normally reaches the alveoli in an adult? Empysema Emphysema is a chronic destructive process of the alveoli. The alveoli regenerate but they are misshaped and consist of scar tissue. The scar tissue inhibits gas exchange. She has pursed lips because she is attempting to keep the alveoli open. Without the extra effort her alveoli will collapse due to increased surface tension. - ANSWER A 77 year old female has dyspnea, speaks in short word burst, and breathes with pursed lips.

Which device should you use to administer oxygen? Assist his ventilations He is in respiratory failure. His breathing is ineffective because his respirations are fast and shallow. Shallow respirations do not allow for adequate oxygen exchange because the air is not drawn down far enough into the lungs. Assisting his breathing with positive pressure ventilations will help reduce any pulmonary edemy from the lower airway burns. - ANSWER A 42 year old male complains of shortness of breath after being sprayed with super-heated steam. He has burns to his face, neck and upper chest. Vital signs are BP 112/66, P 124, R 28 shallow and labored. What should you do? Bronchi The trachea splits at the carina into the left and right bronchus. The bronchi get smaller and smaller until it reaches the terminal bronchioles where the alveoli are located. - ANSWER What are the structures that brach off the trachea into the lower airway? Wheezing Wheezing is a high pitched whistling sound heard on EXHALATION. Wheezing suggest there is a LOWER airway OBSTRUCTION or CONSTRICTION. Exhalation is a passive process, and the wheezing noise is air passively leaving constricted bronchioles. - ANSWER What is the term for high-pitched whistling sounds heard during expiration? Labored The use of accessory muscles is a sign of respiratory distress or failure.
