    OXYGENATION

     Oxygenation is necessary to sustain life. The cardiac and respiratory


    systems supply the oxygen demand of the body. Blood is oxygenated
    through the mechanisms of ventilation , perfusion and transport of
    respiratory gases.
    OXYGENATION

     Neural and chemical regulators control the rate and depth of respiration in
    response to changing tissue oxygen demands. The cardiovascular system
    provides the transport system to distribute oxygen to cells and tissues of the
    body.
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Four factors influence adequacy of circulation, ventilation, perfusion and


    transport of respiratory gases to the tissues:
    1. Physiological
    2. Developmental
    3. Lifestyle
    4. environmental
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Physiological factors are any condition affecting cardiopulmonary functioning


    directly affects the ability of the body to meet oxygen demands.
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Developmental factors. The developmental stage of a patient and the normal


    aging process affect tissue oxygenation.
    Infants and toddlers. Infants and toddlers are at risk for upper respiratory
    tract infections as a result of frequent exposure to other children, an
    immature immune system, and exposure to second hand smoke .
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Developmental factors.
    School-Age and Adolescents. They are exposed to respiratory infections
    and respiratory risk factors such as cigarette smoking or second hand
    smoke.
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Developmental factors.
    Young and middle-age adults. They are exposed to multiple
    cardiopulmonary risk factors : an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, stress,
    over the counter and prescription drugs not used as intended , illegal
    substances and smoking.
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Developmental factors.
    Older adults. The cardiac and respiratory system undergo changes
    throughout the aging process.
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Lifestyle factors. Lifestyle modifications are difficult for patients because they
    often have to change an enjoyable habit such as cigarette smoking or eating
    certain foods.
    OXYGENATION
     FACTORS AFFECTING OXYGENATION

     Environmental factors. The environment influences oxygenation. The


    incidence of pulmonary disease is higher in smoggy urban areas than in
    rural areas. A patient’s workplace sometimes increases the risk for
    pulmonary disease.
    OXYGENATION
     NURSING INTERVENTIONS

     There are interventions for promoting and maintaining adequate oxygenation


    across the continuum of care. As a nurse, you will be responsible for
    independent interventions such as
    positioning,
    coughing techniques and
    health education for disease prevention.
    In addition, you will provide physician-initiated interventions such as
    oxygen therapy,
    lung inflation techniques and
    chest physio therapy.
