        Oxygenation
Objectives
•  List and discuss the major body structures.
• Discuss functions responsible for proper oxygenation
• Describe factors that may alter ones O2 balance.
• Identify the behaviors indicating negative O2 balance.
• Review the common diagnostic tests medically
  prescribed in order to determine the client’s
  oxygenation status.

Respiratory System
Process of Breathing

•Inspiration
 • Air flows into lungs
•Expiration
 • Air flows out of lungs
Normal Oxygenation Process
• Cardiovascular:
Normal Oxygenation Process
• Systemic:
Normal Oxygenation Process
Inspiration


• Diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract
• Thoracic cavity size increases
• Volume of lungs increases
• Intrapulmonary pressure decreases
• Air rushes into the lungs to equalize pressure
Expiration

• Diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax
• Lung volume decreases
• Intrapulmonary pressure rises
• Air is expelled
Gas Exchange
• Occurs after the alveoli are ventilated
• Pressure differences (gradient) on each side of the
  respiratory membranes affect diffusion
  • Alveoli:
    • PO2 100mmHg
    • PCO2 40mmHg
  • Venous blood:
    • PO2 60mmHg
    • PCO2 45mmHg
• O2 diffusion from alveoli pulmonary blood vessels
• CO2 diffusion from pulmonary blood vessels  alveoli
Adequate O2 Balance
• Maintenance of adequate O2 balance Gas Exchange
Oxygen Transport

• Transported from the lungs to the tissues
• 97% of O2 combines with RBC Hgb
   oxyhemoglobin carried to tissues
• Remaining O2 is dissolved and transported in
 plasma and cells (PO2)
Normal Oxygenation Process

• Cell environment / O2 carrying capacity:
• O2 Carrying capacity of blood is expressed by:
 • Red blood cells (#)
 • Hematocrit
   • % of blood that is RBCs
   • Men 40-54%
   • Women 37-50%
 • Hemoglobin
Carbon Dioxide Transport

• Must be transported from tissues  lungs
• Continually produced in the process of cell
  metabolism
• 65% – carried inside RBCs as bicarbonate (HCO3-)
• 30% – combines with Hgb  carbhemoglobin
• 5% – transported in plasma as carbonic acid (H 2CO3)
Factors that Influence
         Respiratory Function

• Age
• Environment
• Lifestyle

  1. Major body structures: Upper RS: mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx Lower RS: trachea, bronchial tree: primary R/L bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveoli Inspiration: diaphragm & intercostal muscles contract, volume increase, intraplumonary pressure decreases, air in Expiration: diaphragm & intercostal muscles relax, volume decreases, intrapulmonary pressure increases, air expelled Meanwhile, intrapleural pressure maintained negative relative to Patm to create suction to maintain pleura adherence Normal breathing: tidal volume 500 mL Strenuous activity or with some diseases, 1500 mL using accessory muscles Lung compliance: tissue expansibility/stretchability, like a balloon, gets progressively easier decreases with aging: atelectasis risk (collapsed portion of lung) FOR INSPIRATION Lung recoil: continual tendency to collapse away from chest wall FOR EXPIRATION Alveolar fluid has surface tension which makes it alveoli resistant to expansion Surfactant counteracts the surface tension to allow for expansion
  2. 887 Cellular components develop from mother cells aka stem cells, which subsequently differentiate or specialize into red cells, white cells, and platelets. Red blood cells transport oxygen to tissues in oxyhemoglobin, a molecule that forms when oxygen and hemoglobin combine. White cells fight infection and maintain the body ’s Immune function Platelets aka thrombocytes are essential to coagulation or clotting of blood. Plasma is the fluid component of the blood; it carries the cellular elements, electrolytes, protein, glucose, fats bilirubin, and gases Anemia and carbon monoxide poisoning is a physiological factor that decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen from hemoglobin which decrease capacity of blood to carry O2
  3. 893 Chief complaint Use HEART pneumonic H ave client describe the specific location, onset and duration of the problem E xplore associated signs and symptoms, A sk about activities that worsen or ease the problem, R ate the severity of discomfort or incapacity, T alk about treatments or interventions that were used to alleviate the problem and their effectiveness Ask about difficulty breathing with or without activity, cough, hacking, non productive or productive, if productive what color is sputum, amount, pain with breathing? Respiratory risk assessment age, very young and very old at most risk, environment work or travel hx look at possible exposure, lifestyle -> smoking multiple #packs per day By # of years smoked= pack years, family hx, asthma runs in families, or TB in one family member others may be infected, hx of or resp problems CV Ask about meds. HISTORY of HTN, DM Rheumatic Fever, high cholesterol, bleeding tendencies, MI ,PVD, Heart failure, renal failure, hepatic failure. Examples in book anemia produces a deficit of oxygenation of tissues and DM and renal failure accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. LIFESTYLE: smoking, ETOH, diet exercise stress level, fatty diet
  4. PE: INSPECT CHEST  symmetry and presence of pulsations assess PMI point of maximal intensity. It is located at the 5 th intercostals space at the midclavicular line. Any other pulsations not normal! Vs provide baseline Assess heart sounds , at aortic pulmonic tricuspid and mitral areas at erbs point. Note rate and rhythm 60-110, hear irregularities check apical and radial for differences , listen for gallops, murmurs, or friction rubs. Assess lung sounds, breathing pattern, skin and mucus membranes, check for abd distension and diminished bowel sounds this may be associated with a oxygen deficit because of a decrease in lung expansion. Assess peripheral circulation examine carotid arteries and jugulars in the neck Auscultate for bruits, swish, in the carotid, normally silent. 30-45 degree fowlers examine jugulars—distention of the jugulars sign of heart failure or circulatory overload, check simultaneously on each side brachial radial, femoral, pedal, popliteal palpate for differences on each side, note skin color and temp and texture, note edema by pressing areas of edema and noting depth, and time for indentation to disappear Check for positive homan ’s sign – dorsiflex foot and +pain suggests DVT
  5. The chest tube is placed between the chest wall and the inner lining of the lung for the purpose of drainage of blood, fluid or air and it could be for many reasons Pneumothorax Post thoracotomy Hemothorax Rib fractures Vascular trauma Post heart surgery most modern acute care facilities now use the disposable, pleural drainage system that combines the suction control, drainage collection and water seal in one unit, such as the Pleur-evac illustrated Area 1 adds suction to provide negative pressure Area 2 water seal chamber it prevents air from entering chest tube Area 3 holds drainage from wound area
