COPD patients usually don't have a positive nitrogen balance, as the disease is more often associated with a general exhaustion of the body, and as such a net loss of total body protein.
If a COPD patient does have a positive nitrogen balance, it simply means that the patient has eaten more protein than what has been broken down and excreted. This would most likely be associated with a positive net caloric intake and a gain of muscle weight.
What else can I help you with?
Who reveices venturi mask?
COPD patient
What is the primary respiratory drive for a patient with COPD?
Hypoxic drive.
What is the normal pulse for a COPD patient?
intermittent temperature according to the condition
Why copd patient cannot apply oxygen more than 4 liter per minute?
because elasticity of alveoli is diminished in patient with COPD therefore administering more than 4liters/minute will collapse alveoli and patient may die.
What is the goal O2 sat for end stage COPD patient?
88 to 93 o2
How should a patient with COPD be positioned?
sitting upright at least 45 degree ange
What would be the best rate of O2 for a patient with COPD?
2 liters per minute
Why would a COPD patient have a higher percentage of red blood cells than a healthy person without COPD?
That is the good question and you probably know the answer. In case of the COPD patient you have less perfusion of the oxygen. The red blood cell production is stimulated by the low concentration of the oxygen.
If a patient has COPD would their blood pH be acidic or basic?
acidic due to build up of co2
Your Blood Oxygen is 95 percent your FEV1 18 percent What is wrong here?
your a stage 4 COPD patient
Why give a blood transfusion to a copd patient?
A blood transfusion may be given to a COPD patient to address anemia, which can exacerbate symptoms and reduce oxygen delivery to tissues. By increasing hemoglobin levels, the transfusion can improve oxygenation and overall functional capacity, helping the patient breathe easier and maintain better quality of life. Additionally, in cases of significant blood loss or severe hypoxia, transfusions can be critical for stabilizing the patient's condition.
Do dogs affect people with copd?
Dogs can have both positive and negative effects on people with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). On the positive side, having a dog can provide emotional support, encourage physical activity, and reduce stress, which can be beneficial for overall health. However, exposure to pet dander, fur, and allergens might exacerbate respiratory issues in some individuals with COPD. Therefore, it's essential for those with COPD to consider their specific sensitivities and consult with a healthcare provider when deciding to have a dog.
