Cheyne-Stokes respiration
Orthopnea
Tachypnea
Apnea
Dyspnea
Hyperpnea
What two would hyperventilation be? |
|
Definition
-Bradynea - slow breathing
-Cheyne-Stokes respiration - rapid then stopped (hyperpnea + apnea)
-Orthopnea - dyspnea when lying flat
-Tachypnea - short and rapid
-Apnea - lacked of breathing
-Dyspnea - shortness of breath
-Hyperpnea - increased depth
-Hyperventilation - hyperpnea + tachypnea (depth & rate) |

Definition
-Greater than 140/90 (for either number)
-Also has to be for two or more visits |
|
|
Term
| What will a cuff too large and too small do to the reading? What about cloths? |
|
Definition
-Too large will give a low reading
-Too small will give a high reading
-Cloths will raise the reading also |
|
|
Term
| What is orthostatic hypertension? |
|
Definition
-Also called postural hypotension
-It is when the BP drops >20 and pulse raises >10 as a result of sitting up/standing |
|
|
Term

| What are the stages of hypothermia? |
|
Definition
Stage 1; 1-2C below normal (about 97-95F)
-shivering
Stage 2; 2-4C below normal (about 95-91)
-Increased shivering, loss of pallor, opposition and muscle coordination in general is lost
Stage 3; Below 32C (below about 90F)
-Shivering stops, walking becomes almost impossible, cognition suffers |

|
Term
| What is pulse pressure? What is normal? |
|
Definition
-Pulse pressure is the diff between the two numbers
-For 115/80 the pulse pressure would be 35
-Normal is 30-60 |
|
|
Term
| What is pulsus paradoxes and what may it indicate? |
|
Definition
-It is a drop in BP (by 10 or more) upon inspiration
-This may indicate cardiac temponade, large pericardial effusions, constrictive pericarditis (essentially all pressure on the heart)
-Can also be from increased effort, like in asthma |
