explain respiratory Distress Syndrome in infants
Answer-. Respiratory Distress Syndrome -
Respiratory distress syndrome is a breathing disorder in babies caused by immature lungs.
most common age group is affected - preterm babies {delivered before 34 wks of gestation (L:S ration is <2:1)}
Sign and Symptoms- 1) nasal flattering (earliest symptoms)
2)chest retraction
3) chest grunting ( expiratory sound after difficult respiration)
4) Seasaw respiration ( thoracic and abdominal wall are rise and fall in asymmetric manner)
5) pale or bluish skin color.
Treatment- 1)Exosurf ( artificial surfactant ) is used endotrachealy
2) prophylactically intravenous / intramuscular injection dexamethasone or betamethasone is injected into the mother.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome 1.) Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in center oval with definition Label each box with the following: 2.) Pathophysiology/ Etiology 3.) Clinical Manifestations/Assessment Findings - Give SPECIFICS, adventitious breath sounds its NOT specific enough. 4.) Treatment/Therapeutic Modalities 5.) Diagnostic Studies - Be SPECIFIC! What labs/imaging/diagnostic studies would be performed and what results would you anticipate 6.) Nursing Diagnosis -3 complete prioritized nursing diagnoses ( Nursing Diagnosis... related to....as evidenced by...) 7.) Complications
Which component/s of healthy respiratory physiology does Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) disrupt?
In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), it is often found that oxygen status is more difficult to control with mechanical ventilation than carbon dioxide status. Explain why this is the case based on consideration of diffusion
which interventions should the RN implement for the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome that administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent while receiving mechanical ventilation? select all that apply.
Therapeutic Modality ( For Acute Respiratory failure/ Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) 1.) Type of Therapeutic Modality in center oval with definition. -must be utilized for the care of a pt in ARF or ARDs. Label each box with the following: 2.) Rational - Reason why this is used specifically for ARF/ARDs patients. 3.) Nursing Skills and Responsibilities 4.) Interdisciplinary Team Members 5.) Interdisciplinary Team Member's Responsibilities 6.) Specialized Monitoring 7.) Complications APA Format, Organization, Etc.

32. A neonate has been diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome. The nurse notes the neonate is retracting and is hypoxic. The best intervention at this time would be: A newly admitted client is diagnosed with PTSD. Which behavioral symptom would the nurse expect to assess?

Question 26 of 50 A preterm infant with respiratory distress syndrome is prescribed oxygen therapy. Which nursing intervention is the priority in this situation? O Maintaining a sufficient level of vitamin D O Monitoring oxygen saturation O Placing the infant bed in a semi-Fowler's position O Placing the infant in a side-lying position
QUESTION 44 Which of the following relate to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during SIRS? Due to lack of oxygenation of the blood, body cells switch to fermentation in order to obtain energy. Fermentation can lead to lactic acidosis of the blood, Acidosis can decrease the rate of the body's cellular enzyme activity. A and B A, B and
Mr. Nguyen is a 58-year-old patient that had septic shock and developed Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He is orally intubated and on a mechanical ventilator. He is paralyzed and sedated. What manifestations might you observe for a patient with ARDS? What complications can Mr. Nguyen develop from being mechanically ventilated? List priority nursing interventions to prevent complications associated with ventilatory support. What interventions can be implemented specifically to prevent the development of Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP)? You are orienting in...
