28
mEq/L; pH 7.35-7.45

2. Chronic Airway destruction
bronchi- tis Chronic sputum with cough production on a daily
basis for a minimum of 3 months in 2
consecutive years
Reduced responsiveness of respiratory center to
hypox- emia stimuli
Precipitating factor: higher incidence in
smokers "Blue bloaters" - generalized cyanosis
of lips, mucous membranes, face, and nail
beds
Right-sided heart failure (distended neck veins,
crackles) Lowest FiO2 possible to prevent CO2
retention
Monitor for fluid overload
Maintain PO2 between 55
and 60
Administer bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory
agents

3. Emphysema Alveoli destruction
Increased air trapping (increased AP
diameter) Increased work, increased O2
consumption Precipitating factor:
cigarette smoking
"Pink puffers"
Barrel chest, pursed-lip breathing,
wheezing Lowest FiO2 possible to
prevent CO2 retention
Administer bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory
agents Teach prolonged expiratory phase to clear
trapped air

4. Asthma Unlike COPD, asthma is an intermittent disease

with re-
versible airflow obstruction and wheezing

5. COPD Emphysema and chronic bronchitis
Characterized by bronchospasm and
dyspnea
Compensation occurs over time in clients with
chronic lung disease and ABGs are altered
The amount of O2 in the blood decreased
(hypoxemia) and the amount of CO2 in the blood
increases (hypercap- nia) causing chronic
respiratory acidosis, which results in metabolic
alkalosis as compensation
