Measuring Normal Respiratory Volumes 1) Calculate the minute respiratory volume using the tidal volume and breaths per minute (pump rate). 2) Define the following terms: a.

procedure are having bleeding‚ air trapped around the lung (pneumothorax)‚ or damage to the vocal cords‚ etc. A lot of bleeding can then create blood clots‚ which can be suctioned out through the trach.

from a build-up of carbon dioxide in the blood (hypercapnia) due to hypoventilation. It is most often caused by pulmonary problems‚ although head injuries‚ drugs (especially anaesthetics and sedatives)‚ and brain tumors can cause this acidemia. Pneumothorax‚ emphysema‚ chronic bronchitis‚ asthma‚ severe pneumonia‚ and aspiration are among the most frequent causes. It can also occur as a compensatory response to chronicmetabolic alkalosis. * Respiratory acidosis - Reduced CO2 elimination

brought in and assessed. Then we immediately do an x-ray of their chest and pelvis while they are still in the trauma bay. The chest x-ray is the standard test for diagnosis of trauma patients in the emergency department. A chest x-ray can show pneumothorax‚ pleural effusion‚ atelectasis‚ and many other pathologies that would need attention right away. A pelvis x-ray in trauma patients is needed to prevent a delay in recognition of major pelvic fractures‚ dislocations‚ and potential pelvic bleeding
