A. The Patient with A Disturbance in Oxygenation Objectives: At the end of this unit the student will be able to: 1. Identify the natural defense mechanisms of the respiratory system‚ and correlate changes in these defense mechanisms with respiratory dysfunction. 2. Describe effects of aging on the respiratory system. 3. Identify significant assessment data that should be obtained from a patient. 4. Describe pH and the mechanisms that regulate acid-base balance. 5. Describe the common

Nitrous Oxide (N20) Nitrous Oxide (N20)‚ also known as laughing gas‚ is the only inorganic anesthetic gas in clinical use. Nitrous oxide was first prepared in 1773 by Joseph Priestley‚ an English clergyman and scientist‚ who ranks among the great pioneers of chemistry. Humphry Davy in 1798 performed brilliant investigations of several gases but focused much of his attention on nitrous oxide. Davy commented that nitrous oxide transiently relieved a severe headache‚ obliterated a minor headache

examination‚ cardiovascular testing‚ and consideration of family history (Summary of Diagnostic Criteria). Treatment depends on the individual’s symptoms and where the manifestations have occurred. Some manifestations may become life threatening‚ such as pneumothorax or aortic aneurysm‚ so diagnosis and subsequent treatment to prevent complications is critical (How Is Marfan Syndrome Treated). Marfan syndrome is a very serious disease that affects the connective tissues found throughout the body. Resulting

CARDIOVASCULAR Dsyrhythmias * Etiology * Disturbances in automaticity – initiation of impulse is altered * Disturbances in conduction – alteration in the speed the impulse travels * Reentry of impulses – cardiac tissue is depolarized multiple times by the same impulse * Speed‚ distance and location can be changed or affected (blockages cause change in heart rhythm) * Risk factors * Cardiovascular disease‚ MI * MI – death of tissue – no electricity
