What is the definition of hypoventilation? – ANSWER- – occurs when
alveolar ventilation is inadequate to meet O2 demands

  • occurs when alveolar ventilation is not sufficient enough to eliminate
    proper CO2 amounts
    What is retained during hypoventilation? – ANSWER- – CO2
    What does hypoventilation cause? – ANSWER- respiratory acidosis
    What is the definition of hyperventilation? – ANSWER- – Lung removes
    CO2 faster than it is produced via cellular metabolism
    What is hyperventilation caused by? – ANSWER- – severe anxiety
  • infection
  • drugs
  • acid-base imbalance

What are some signs / symptoms of hyperventilation? – ANSWER- –
Rapid respiration

  • sighing breaths
  • numbness / tingling in hands/ feet
  • light headedness
  • loss of consciousness
    What is the definition of hypoxia? – ANSWER- – inadequate tissue
    oxygenation at the cellular level.
    What does hypoxia result from? – ANSWER- – deficiency in O2 delivery
  • deficiency of O2 utilization at a cellular level
    What can cause hypoxia to occur? – ANSWER- – decreased level of
    hemoglobin & lowered O2 carrying capacity of blood
  • diminished concentration of inspired O2 at higher altitudes
  • inability of tissue extraction O2 from the blood (cyanide poisoning)
  • decreased diffusion of O2 from the alveoli to the blood (pneumonia)
  • poor tissue perfusion w/ oxygenated blood
  • impaired ventilation
    What sickness / disease can cause hypoxia to occur? – ANSWER- –
    pneumonia

What physiological changes to the body can cause hypoxia? –
ANSWER- – cyanide poisoning

  • shock
  • fractured ribs
  • Chest trauma
    What are some early signs and symptoms hypoxia? – ANSWER- –
    restlessness
  • apprehension
  • decreased level of consciousness (LOC)
  • Dizziness
  • Behavior changes
    What are some early vital sign changes with hypoxia? – ANSWER- –
    Blood pressure elevated (unless it is caused by shock)
    How does shock impact hypoxia related to Blood pressure? – ANSWER-
  • Does not increase BP in early signs of blood pressure
    What are some late signs and symptoms of hypoxia? – ANSWER- –
    Cyanosis
  • Respiratory rate decreases
    What are the two locations you can observe cyanosis in patients with
    hypoxia? – ANSWER- – Central cyanosis
  • Peripheral cyanosis
    Where can you see central cyanosis in clients with hypoxia? –
    ANSWER- – tongue
  • soft palate
  • Conjunctiva
    Where can you peripheral cyanosis in clients with hypoxia? –
    ANSWER- – Lower extremities
  • upper extremities
  • nail beds
  • earlobes
    What is hypoxia a result of ? – ANSWER- – Constriction
  • stagnant blood flow
    What are some factors impacting oxygenation? – ANSWER- – Amount
    of dissolved O2 in plasma
  • Amount of hemoglobin
  • Ability of hemoglobin to bind with O2
    What vital signs are observed in the late stages of hypoxia? – ANSWER-
  • respiratory rate decreases
