Airspaces - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Emphysema Pathophysiology ~~~ Emphysema is a pathologic diagnosis defined by permanent enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles. This leads to a dramatic decline in the alveolar surface area available for gas exchange. Furthermore, loss of alveoli leads to airflow limitation by 2 mechanisms. First, loss of the alveolar walls results in a decrease in elastic recoil, which leads to airflow limitation. Second, loss of the alveolar supporting structure leads to airwa...

NURS 234- Exam #4 Questions With 100% Verified Answers What test must be completed before drawing an ABG - answerAllen's Test A chronic airway obstruction that limits air flow into and out of the alveoli, this restricts O2 from entering and traps CO2 from escaping - answerCOPD what are the two types of COPD - answerchronic bronchitis and emphysema causes of COPD - answersmoking occupational exposure genetic abnormalities what is the most common cause of COPD - answersmoking of any ki...

What conditions are the abnormal heart sounds S3 and S4 associated with, respectively? A. S3 = MI or HTN; S4 =CHF B. S3 = Tracheal Stenosis; S4 = Asthma C. S3 = closure of Mitral and Tricuspid Valves; S4 = Closure of Pulmonary Valves D. S3 = CHF; S4 =MI or HTN - Answer Feedback Correct Answer - D S3 is heard in early diastole (after S2) and is associated with CHF. S4 is heard in late diastole (before S1) and is associated with an MI or hypertension. A chronic smoker diagnosed with C...
