hyperventilation, if someone is blowing off too much CO2 they become more - Answer- Alkaline, respiratory alkalosis if a patient's lung are not functioning very well and they are unable to remove or blow off CO2 very well, the CO2 will build up in their system becoming - Answer- acidic, respiratory acidosis Perfusion - Answer- is adequate arterial blood flow through the peripheral tissues (peripheral perfusion) and blood that is pumped by the heart to oxygenate major body organs (central ...

Advanced Pathophysiology NURS 5350 Exam 3 What is a cough? Protective reflex that helps clear the airways by an explosive expiration. Acute cough: 2-3 weeks Chronic cough: longer than 3 weeks. Causes: Post nasal drip, GERD, medications (ACE). Hypoventilation vs. Hyperventilation? Hypo: Alveolar ventilation is INADEQUATE: leads to RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS. Hyper: Alveolar ventilation EXCEEDS metabolic demands: Leads to RESPIRATORY ALKALOSIS. What is clubbing? A pai...

four main alterations in respiratory function ~~> ventilation/perfusion mismatch Alveolar hypo-ventilation Alveolar hyperventilation Hypoxia ventilation/perfusion mismatch ~~> an mismatch in the V/Q ratio caused by impaired ventilation or impaired perfusion.
