    Respiratory Diagnostic Procedures1. Pulse oximetry (non invasive measurement of the

    oxygen saturation of the blood). (Measures arterialoxygen saturation).

    2. ABG

    3. Bronchoscopy

    4. Thoracentesis

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    3/90

    ABG Terms pH- amount of free hydrogen ions in the arterial

    blood. (H+)

    PaO2- the partial pressure of oxygen PaCO2- the partial pressure of carbon dioxide

    HCO3- bicarbonate in arterial blood

    SaO2- % of oxygen bound to Hgb as compared to the

    total amount that can be possibly carried.

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    4/90

    Normal ABG Values

    pH- 7.35-7.45

    PaO2- 80-100

    PaCO2- 35-45

    HCO3- 22-26

    SaO2- 95-100%

    RULES FOR AN ABG Perform the ALLENs Test. Compress ulnar and radial

    arteries SIMULTANEOUSLY while instructing thepatient to form a fist.

    Then have the client relax hand while RELEASINGpressure on the RADIAL ARTERY.

    HAND SHOULD TURN PINK QUICKLY

    INDICATING PATENCY OF THE RADIAL ARTERY.REPEAT FOR THIS PROCESS FOR THE ULNARARTERY

    6/90

    Rules for an ABG continued Hold DIRECT PRESSURE over the site for 5 Minutes.

    (20 minutes if pt. is on anticoagulants)

    Monitor ABG site for bleeding, loss of pulse, swelling,and changes in temp and color

    BLOOD CAN ALSO BE DRAWN

    FROM AN ARTERIAL LINE

    Bronchoscopy Uses Can visualize abnormalities such as tumors,

    inflammation, and strictures

    Biopsy of suspicious tissue (lung tissue) (biopsy canhave additional risks for bleeding)

    Aspiration of deep sputum

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    8/90

    Bronchoscopy- Pre procedure NPO (usually 8-12 hrs. to reduce aspiration risk)

    Ensure that consent form is signed

    Remove the clients denturesAdminister medications are prescribed such as

    lidocaine

    Asthma Chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in

    intermittent and reversible airflow obstruction of thebronchioles

    The obstruction occurs either by inflammation orairway hyperresponsiveness

    Cause is unknown.

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    12/90

    Manifestations of Asthma 1. Mucosal edema

    2. Bronchoconstriction

    3. Excessive mucous production

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    13/90

    S/s of AsthmaCoughing, wheezing, mucus production, poor oxygensaturation, barrel chest or increased chest diameter

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    14/90

    Asthma based on symptoms and

    classified into 4 categories 1. Mild intermittent- symptoms occur less than 2x a

    week

    2. Mild persistent- symptoms arise more than 2x aweek but not daily

    3. Moderate persistent- daily symptoms occur inconjunction with exacerbations 2x a week

    4. Severe persistent- symptoms occur continually,along with frequent exacerbations that limit theclients physical activity and quality of life.

    Asthma Therapy Exercise (promotes ventilation/perfusion)

    Medications

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    20/90

    Medications Bronchodilators (inhalers)

    Anti-inflammatory agents- used to decrease airwayinflammation

    Combination agents- (bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory)

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    21/90

    Bronchodilators Short acting beta2 agonists such as albuterol (Proventil,

    Ventolin)- provide rapid relief of acute symptoms andprevent exercise induced asthma. Watch for tremors and

    tachycardia

    Anticholinergic meds- ipratropium (Atrovent)- increasesbronchodilation and decreased pulmonary secretions.(sympathetic nervous system) (GIVE PATIENT CANDY

    FOR DRY MOUTH!!!))) Methylxanthines- (Theo-Dur)- requires close monitoring

    of serum med. Levels due to a narrow therapeutic range.Toxicity =tachycardia, nausea, diarrhea

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    22/90

    Anti-inflammatory Agents Corticosteroids- fluticasone (Flovent), prednisone

    (Deltasone)

    ENCOURAGE THE PATIENT TO TAKEPREDNISONE WITH FOOD.

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    23/90

    CombinationAgents Ipratropium and albuterol (Combivent)

    Fluticasone and salmetrol (Advair)

    IF PRESCRIBED SEPERATELY FOR INHALATION ATTHE SAME TIME, ADMINISTER THEBRONCHODILATOR 1stin order to increase the

    absorption of the anti-inflammatory agent.

    Pneumonia!

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    45/90

    Pneumonia Inflammatory process in the lungs that produces

    excess fluid. Pneumonia is triggered by infectiousorganisms or by the aspiration of an irritant, such as

    fluid or a foreign object The inflammatory process in the lung parenchyma

    results in edema and exudate that fills the alveoli

    Immunocompromised are more susceptible.Immobility can be a contributing factor

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    46/90

    2 Types of Pneumonia 1. Community Acquired (CAP)- most common type.

    Occurs as a complication of influenza

    2. Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP)- has a highermortality rate

    **** Older adults are more suspectible to infections

    and have DECREASED PULMONARY RESERVES DUETO NORMAL LUNG CHANGES, including decreasedLUNG ELASTICITY and thickening alveoli

    57/90

    Latent TB People may have been exposed to TB, but havent

    developed the disease. Mycobacterium TB is in thebody, but body was able to fight it. If not treated, it can

    lie dormant for several years and then become activeas the individual becomes older orimmunocompromised.

    Individuals who have latent TB may have a + mantoux

    test and may receive tx to prevent development of anactive form of the disease

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    58/90

    Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)

    vaccine Client who had this vaccine within the past 10 years

    may have a false positive mantoux test. These clientswill need a chest xray to evaluate for the presence of

    active TB infection.

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    59/90

    Risk Factors Close contact with an untreated person

    S/S of Laryngeal Cancer Persistent hoarseness, lump in throat, mouth or neck,dysphagia, persistent or unilateral ear pain, weightloss, foul breath

    Hard, immobile lymph nodes in the neck (ifmetastasis has occurred)

    Dyspnea (if tumor is an advanced stage)

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    74/90

    Laboratory Tests Tumor mapping may be done by taking multiplebiopsy samples

    Mapping verifies where the tumor is located, its

    margins, and type

    Staging is done using this info

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    75/90

    Diagnostic Procedures X-rays of skull, sinuses, neck and chest CT and MRI scan These help to determine the extent and exact location of the

    tumor and level of soft tissue invasion

    Indirect and direct laryngoscopy - indirect is done to see if the tumor can be visualized - direct is used to visualize the tumor more closely and to obtain

    a biopsy which will determine cell type and staging

    Before procedure, pt must be NPO. Post procedure assess for return of GAG reflex Inform clients after topical anesthetic is applied, they may feel

    like they cannot swallow.

    78/90

    Laryngectomy May be a partial (removal of one or part of 1 larynx) or totallaryngectomy (removal of both larynx)

    * if cancer is advanced, all or part of the epiglottis mayneed to be removed

    ** temp. tracheostomies may be established for clients whorequired only a partial laryngectomy

    Permanent tracheal stomas are created for clients who haveundergone total laryngectomies

    A laryngectomy tube is inserted into the stomaimmediately after the surgery. This prevents contracturesfrom forming while the stoma is healing.

    The 11th cranial nerve may be cut resulting in drop followingsurgery

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    79/90

    Total laryngectomy Pts will lose their natural voice

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    (arch the tongue in the back of the mouth)

  • 7/28/2019 ATI Respiratory Powerpoint

    81/90

    Client Education Use saline and cotton-tipped swabs to cleanse the stoma Humidifier/ saline atomizer to moisten the environment

    and stoma frequently during the day Wear a bib, scarf, bandana, etc to cover stoma Instruct patient to avoid lifting. Client unable to lift

    because the client cannot perform the valsalva maneuverwith an open airway

    Oxygenate prior to suctioning

    Aspiration may lead to the development of pneumonia Those with a total larygenectomy will not be able toaspirate due to the surgical seperation of the trachea fromthe esophagus.
