Atenolol is a cardioselective beta-blocker, meaning it primarily affects beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart, which reduces the risk of bronchoconstriction in patients with COPD, who have sensitive airways. In contrast, propranolol is non-selective and can block both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors, potentially exacerbating respiratory symptoms in COPD patients. Therefore, atenolol is generally preferred for managing cardiovascular issues in this population while minimizing respiratory complications.
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.
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 normal pulse for a COPD patient?
intermittent temperature according to the condition
How should a patient with COPD be positioned?
sitting upright at least 45 degree ange
What is the goal O2 sat for end stage COPD patient?
88 to 93 o2
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
Why does a COPD patient have a positive nitrogen balance?
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.
Your Blood Oxygen is 95 percent your FEV1 18 percent What is wrong here?
your a stage 4 COPD patient
When administering oxygen in a patient with COPD you should?
When administering oxygen to a patient with COPD, it is essential to start with low flow rates, typically between 1 to 2 liters per minute, to avoid suppressing their respiratory drive. Monitor the patient's oxygen saturation closely and aim for a target SpO2 of 88-92%. Careful titration is important to prevent hypercapnia and potential respiratory acidosis. Always consult with a healthcare provider regarding specific oxygen therapy protocols for COPD patients.
