The hypoxic drive the primary stimulus to breathe for patient with certain chronic respiratory disease is influenced?
The hypoxic drive, or the body's response to low oxygen levels, is a secondary stimulus to breathe in most individuals. It becomes the primary drive in patients with certain chronic respiratory diseases, such as COPD, where there is a blunted response to high carbon dioxide levels. This shift can lead to decreased respiratory drive with supplemental oxygen therapy, so caution is needed in prescription to prevent respiratory depression.
What is the maximum percentage of oxygen a COPD patient should receive in an emergency and why?
In an emergency, the maximum percentage of oxygen a COPD patient should typically receive is around 24-28%, often administered through a venturi mask. This is important because excessive oxygen can lead to carbon dioxide retention (hypercapnia) due to the patient's altered respiratory drive, potentially resulting in respiratory failure. Monitoring of oxygen saturation is crucial to ensure adequate oxygenation while preventing complications.
What is a copd death like?
COPD is respiratory usually caused by smoking etc
Identify two respiratory disorders?
pneumonia, COPD
Who reveices venturi mask?
COPD patient
Does marijuana cause copd?
No. Marijuana is actually used to treat respiratory problems such as copd, asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc.
What is respiratory depression?
This occurs when respiratory drive is lower and breaths per minute decrease - to the point that added oxygenation (or even respiratory support on a ventilator) is required. A number of conditions and diseases can cause respiratory depression. Common conditions include severe respiratory infections, congestive heart failure, exacerbation of COPD, among others.
What are the diseases that can affect the respiratory system?
pheumonia, COPD, and others that i do not remember
What is the primary indication of oxygen therapy?
The primary indication of oxygen therapy is to improve oxygen delivery to tissues and organs in individuals who are unable to maintain adequate oxygen levels on their own, typically due to respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
What are the illness that can effect the respiratory system and lungs?
Bronchitis, pneumonia, COPD, cancer,
What is the normal pulse for a COPD patient?
intermittent temperature according to the condition
Which is the abbreviation for respiratory failure in an adult as a result of disease or injury?
The abbreviation for respiratory failure in an adult as a result of disease or injury is ARF (Acute Respiratory Failure).
