Inspiration
contraction
Lowered
Expiration:
with relaxation
Diaphragm moves up and intra
thoracic pressure increases
Increased pressure
pushes air out of the lungs.
Expiration requires the elastic recoil
of the lungs. Inspiration normally is
1/3 of the respiratory cycle and
expiration is2/3.

sensors, assess the
site every two to four hours and replace the
sensor every 24 hours.
oWhen using a reusable sensor, the site
should be checked every two hours and
changed every four hours.
oManufacturer's recommendations regarding
cleaning agents should also be followed.

ABG ANALYSIS
Pre-test:
Secure equipments-heparinized
syringe, needle, container with ice
Choose site carefully, perform the
Allens test
Intra-test: Obtain a 5 mL specimen from
the artery(brachial, femoral and
radial),no air on the syringe
Post-test:

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS
Due
to renal failure
Manifestations: headache, confusion,
drowsiness, increased respiratory rate
and depth, decreased blood pressure,
decreased cardiac output, dysrhythmias,
shock; if decrease is slow, patient maybe
asymptomatic until bicarbonate is
15mEq/L or less
Correct the underlying problem and
correct the imbalance; bicarbonate
maybe administered

CHEST DRAINAGE
Used
CHEST TUBES
long, semi-stiff, clear plastic tubes that are inserted into the chest, so that they can drain
collections of fluids or air from the space between the pleura
INDICATION
Pneumothorax
: a collection of air in
thepleural space.
CLOSED-CHEST DRAINAGESYSTEM
DO
Keep
level.
Make sure all connections are taped and
the chest tube is secured to the chest
wall.
Ensure that the suction control chamber
is filled with sterile water to the20-cm
level or as prescribed.
If using suction, make sure the suction
units pressure level causes slow but
