NSG 363 Chapter Notes - Chapter 23: Airway Obstruction, Eclampsia, Sputum
Document Summary
Pulmonary edema: fluid into the alveoli and lungs from extravasation of fluid, type types: cardiogenic and noncardiogenic, cardiogenic: increase in pulmonary capillary pressure from increase in venous pressure. Coronary arteriosclerosis: non cardiogenic: increased pulmonary capillary permeability. Subtypes: permeability pe (ards, lung injury), high altitude pe (high heights), neurogenic pe (seizures, head injury, hemorrhage). (other not common types) Other causes: alcoholism, organ dysfuction , substance abuse, eclampsia, malnutrition, hypertension, blood transfusion: symptoms: crackles, shortness of breath, wheezing, heart murmur, pink frothy sputum (if severe, management: oxygen therapy, cpap, intubation, meds, fluid/sodium restriction. Early carbon monoxide poisoning, airway obstruction and pe. Late complication of bronchopneumonia and pulmonary emboli: 3 types of injury: Heat injury: thermal injury to upper airway only. Chemical: chemicals injuring deep into resp tract. O2 sat will look normal, does not measure dysfunctional hemoglobin. Signs symptoms: vary from tissue hypoxia and level of cohb (carbon monoxide hemoglobin)
