What we know
Air is good
Pink is good
Blue is bad Air goes in
Air goes out
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
4/113
Ventilation is
Movement of air in and out
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
5/113
Upper Airway
In through nose
Warms
Humidifies
Filters
Past epiglottis
Into trachea Anterior to esophagus
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
6/113
Sellicks Maneuver
Pressure on cartilage Pushes trachea more posterior for visualization of vocal
cords in intubation
Compresses esophagus to inhibit vomiting
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
7/113
Bronchi
Branch off trachea
Bronchioles 33 divisions to alveoli No air exchange until
alveoli
Dead air space
Must ventilate with 500 cc
of inspired air to
get to alveoli
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
8/113
Alveoli
Elastic muscles around bronchioles can cause spasm
Network of capillaries around alveoli for gas exchange
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi

Exchange of oxygen
and carbon dioxide

Ventilation
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
11/113
Mechanics of Breathing
Inspiration chest expands creates vacuum air rushes in
Expiration chest contracts creates pressure air rushes out
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
12/113
Diffusionprocess of moving oxygen intoblood and carbon dioxide out
Diffusion is movement of particles (gas)from an area of high concentration to anarea of low concentration
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
13/113
Hemoglobin
98% of inspired oxygen attached to the protein,hemoglobin in RBC
alveoli cells
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi

Hypoxialow oxygen to cells
Causes of hypoxia
Hypoxic hypoxia not enough oxygen
Anemic hypoxianot enough hemoglobin
Stagnant hypoxia not enough perfusion
shock
Histotoxic hypoxia unable to download
Cyanide poisoning
8/11/2019 Pemicu 4 Kgd Andi
15/113
Causes of
Respiratory Emergencies
Failure of: Ventilation: air in/ air out Diffusion: movement of gases Perfusion: movement of blood

Golden Rules:
If you are thinking about giving O2, thengive it!
If you cant tell whether a patient isbreathing adequately, then they arent!
If youre thinking about assisting apatients breathing, you probably shouldbe!
When a patient quits fighting it does notmean that the are ettin better!
