Oxygenation Chapter 45 Re'eda Almashagba 1
Respiratory Physiology Structure and function Breathing: inspiration, expiration Lung volumes and capacities Pulmonary circulation Respiratory gas exchange: oxygen, carbon dioxide Regulation of respiration Re'eda Almashagba 2
Re'eda Almashagba 3
Measures That Promotes Adequate Respiratory Functions: 1. Adequate OXYGEN supply from the environment. 2. Deep breathing and coughing exercises. 3. Proper positioning 4. Patent airway (FEMS) 5. Adequate hydration 6. Avoid pollutants, alcohol and smoking. Re'eda Almashagba 4
Oxygen is a clear, odorless gas that constitute approximately 21% of the air we breath Respiration is the process of gas exchange between the individual and the environment Process of ventilation involve two component pulmonary ventilation or breathing : the movement of the air between the atmosphere and the alveoli in the lung diffusion of the oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries Re'eda Almashagba 5
The function of the respiratory system is gas exchange Pulmonary ventilation: inspiration (inhalation) when air flows into the lung and expiration (exhalation) as ear move out of the lung Adequate ventilation depends on several factors clear air way an intact central nervous system and respiratory system an intact thoracic cavity capable of expanding and contracting adequate pulmonary compliance and recoil Re'eda Almashagba 6
Tidal volume: the amount of air expired and inspired each breath, it is about 500 ml of are in adult. Surfactant: a lipoprotein produced by specialized alveolar cell, reducing the service tension of alveolar fluid.without surfactant the lung collapse. Alveolar gas exchange: exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide Re'eda Almashagba 7
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide: Normally most of the oxygen (97%) combined loosely with hemoglobin and produce oxyhemoglobin Factor affecting the rate of oxygen transport from the lung to the tissue cardiac output number of erythrocyte and blood Hematocrit exercise Re'eda Almashagba 8
Respiratory regulation: Respiratory regulation include both neural and chemical control to maintain the correct concentration of oxygen A chemosensitive center in the medullaoblongada is highly responsive to increasing in blood CO2 or hydrogen ion concentration Re'eda Almashagba 9
Factor affecting respiratory function Age (Developmental Factors) Lifestyle (Nutrition, Exercise, Smoking, Substance abuse, Stress) Environment (Occupation, air pollutions ) health status medication Re'eda Almashagba 10
Alteration in respiratory function: Respiratory function can be altered by condition that affects: The movement of air into or out the lung. The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. The transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide via the blood to and from the tissue cell. Re'eda Almashagba 11
The major alterations in respiration are: 1. Hypoxia: is a condition of insufficient oxygen any where in the body, from inspired gas to the tissue Hypercapnia: accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood Hypoxemia: insufficient oxygen in blood 2. Altered breathing pattern: Tacypnea, bradypnea apnea Orthpnia (is the inability to breathe except in an upright or standing position) Dyspnia (difficult or uncomforted berthing). 3. Obstructed airway Re'eda Almashagba 12
