Table 5.1 Four Functional Components of the Respiratory System & Health Conditions that Might Present Challenges in Terms of Increasing Risk of Impaired Oxygenation<\/h3>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n

Neurochemical control of ventilation (respiratory center, chemoreceptors)<\/td>\r\nVentilation is the movement of gases into and out of the lungs (Astle & Duggleby, 2019). The central nervous system controls ventilation by responding to signals from different neurochemicals (blood pH, PaCO2<\/sub>, PaO2<\/sub> and others) at chemoreceptor sites located in different blood vessels.\u00a0Some patients rely on the CO2<\/sub> drive to breathe, and as such too much supplemental oxygen can cause them to stop breathing (Abdo & Heunks, 2012).<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Mechanics of breathing (accessory muscles, lung elasticity, airway resistance, surface tension in alveoli, work of breathing)<\/td>\r\nBreathing is often effortless. Many people don\u2019t realize that muscles like our diaphragm and intercostals muscles play a role in our ability to adequately oxygenate. Anything that can affect chest wall movement has the potential to affect ventilation. Some examples include pregnancy, obesity and chest wall trauma. Neuromuscular disorders can affect the diaphragm and intercostals muscle function as can medications like anesthetics (Astle & Duggleby, 2019).\u00a0Certain lung diseases result in lost lung elasticity, and as such the work of breathing is increased as the lungs expand during inspiration and try to return to resting volume during expiration.\u00a0Airway resistance might be caused by airway swelling, obstruction, and bronchospasm.\u00a0Surfactant, a type of protein in our alveoli, prevents the alveoli from collapsing when we exhale. When surfactant is inadequate, the work of breathing is increased as the body tries to open the alveoli during inspiration to achieve adequate oxygenation. (McCance et al., 2014). Such is the case with many premature babies.\u00a0If the mechanics of breathing is challenged, so is the work of breathing.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Gas transport (distribution of ventilation and perfusion, O2<\/sub> and CO2<\/sub> transport)<\/td>\r\nOxygen is delivered to the cells and CO2<\/sub> taken away. When caring for individuals nurses must consider if ventilation (exchange of air from the environment to the lungs) and perfusion (the amount of oxygen getting to the lungs) are adequate to meet the oxygen demands.\u00a0O2<\/sub> and CO2<\/sub> exchange are impeded when the alveolar capillary membranes are thickened from conditions like pulmonary edema, pulmonary infiltrates, emphysema, and pneumothorax (McCance et al., 2014). Likewise persons with low Hgb may be challenged to meet their oxygen requirements (Astle & Duggleby, 2019). Some persons with chronic lung disease have abnormally high Hgb levels as a compensatory mechanism to help them achieve normal oxygen levels (McCance et al., 2014).<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Control of pulmonary circulation (distribution of pulmonary blood flow)<\/td>\r\nVasoconstriction of the vessels in pulmonary circulation can be the result of alveolar hypoxia. Possible causes of this hypoxia include obstruction, metabolic and respiratory acidosis, and other biochemical factors (histamine, prostaglandins, bradykinin, and others) (McCance et al., 2014).<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n

Hemoglobin<\/h2>\r\nWe rely on hemoglobin (Hgb) for gas transport. It holds oxygen in reserve until the metabolic demands of the body require more\u00a0oxygen.\u00a0The Hgb then moves\u00a0the oxygen to the plasma for transport to the tissues.\u00a0The body's demand for oxygen is affected by activity, metabolic status, temperature, and level of anxiety.\u00a0The ability of Hgb to move\u00a0the oxygen to the tissues depends on a number of factors, such as oxygen supply, ventilatory effectiveness, nutrition, cardiac output, hemoglobin level, smoking, drug use, and underlying disease.\u00a0Any one of these factors can\u00a0potentially\u00a0impede the supply and transport of oxygen to the tissues.\r\n

Measurement of Oxygen in the Blood<\/h2>\r\nThe vast majority of oxygen carried in the blood is attached to hemoglobin and\u00a0can be assessed by\u00a0monitoring the oxygen saturation through pulse oximetry <\/strong>(SpO2<\/sub>).The target range for oxygen saturation as measured by blood analysis (SaO2<\/sub>), such as arterial blood gas, is 92% to 98% for a normal adult. Arterial blood gas <\/strong>(ABG) is the\u00a0analysis of an arterial blood sample to evaluate the\u00a0adequacy of ventilation, oxygen delivery to the tissues, and acid-base balance status and is measured as SaO2<\/sub> (Simpson, 2004). For patients with\u00a0COPD, the target SaO2<\/sub> range is 88% to 92% (Alberta Health Services, 2015; O\u2019Driscoll, Howard, & Davison, 2008; Kane et al., 2013).\u00a0Only about 3% of the oxygen carried in the blood is dissolved in the plasma, which\u00a0can be assessed by looking at the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood through blood gas analysis (PaO2<\/sub>).\u00a0The normal PaO2<\/sub>\u00a0of a healthy adult is 80 to 100 mmHg. The SpO2<\/sub>\u00a0is\u00a0more clinically significant than the PaO2<\/sub>\u00a0in determining the oxygen content of the blood.\r\n\r\nOxygen is considered a medication and therefore requires continuous monitoring of the dose, concentration, and side effects to ensure its safe and effective use (Alberta Health Services, 2015). Oxygen therapy may be indicated for hypoxemia and hypoxia.\r\n

Understanding Hypoxemia and Hypoxia<\/h2>\r\nAlthough the terms hypoxemia<\/em> and hypoxia<\/em> are often used interchangeably, they do not mean the same thing. Hypoxemia<\/strong> is\u00a0a condition where arterial oxygen tension or partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2<\/sub>) is below normal (<80 mmHg). Hypoxemia is the inadequate supply of oxygen in the arterial blood.\u00a0Hypoxia<\/strong> is the reduction of oxygen supply at the tissue level, which is not measured directly by a laboratory value (Me\u0161trovi\u0107<\/span>, 2014), but by pulse oximetry (SpO2<\/sub>)\u00a0(O\u2019Driscoll et al., 2008).\r\n\r\nGenerally, the presence of hypoxemia suggests that hypoxia exists. However, hypoxia may not be present in a patient with hypoxemia if the patient is able to compensate for a low PaO2<\/sub> by increasing oxygen supply. This is usually\u00a0achieved by increasing cardiac output (by raising the heart rate) or by decreasing tissue oxygen consumption.\u00a0Conversely, patients who do not show signs of hypoxemia may\u00a0be hypoxic if oxygen delivery to the tissues is diminished\u00a0or if the tissues are unable to adequately use the oxygen.\r\n\r\nHypoxemia is the most common cause of tissue hypoxia, and if the correct diagnosis is\u00a0made, it is readily treatable. Hypoxemia has a number of causes including:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • \u00a0Breathing air at pressures less than atmospheric pressure, such as at high altitudes or\u00a0in an enclosed space with inadequate ventilation (Karius, nd).<\/li>\r\n \t
  • Hypoventilation such as happens with brain stem injury, neuromuscular impairment, atelectasis,\u00a0 and opioid overdose (Henderson & Bonsall, 2014).<\/li>\r\n \t
  • When the ventilation \/ perfusion ratios are mismatched. In other words the ratio of air coming in and going out does not match perfusion in the lungs (Mestrovic, 2014).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nExamples of medical conditions that have the potential to cause hypoxemia include:\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • Asthma<\/li>\r\n \t
    • COPD<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Heart failure<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Pleural effusions<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Pneumonia<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Pneumothorax<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Pulmonary edema<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Pulmonary emboli<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nWith hypoxia, there is inadequate transport of oxygen to the cells or tissues, either because of obstruction, secretions, or tumours in the lungs; hypoventilation due to disease, injury to the respiratory system, or medications; or poor blood flow due to a compromised circulatory system (O\u2019Driscoll et al., 2008). Hypoxia related to anemia or circulatory system compromise, such as decreased cardiac output, will respond poorly to oxygen therapy, and other appropriate interventions should be considered.\r\n

      Oxygen Therapy Will:<\/h2>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • Decrease the work of breathing in patients with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, which may prevent respiratory and muscle fatigue (Jardins & Burton, 2011).<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Decrease cardiopulmonary workload\u00a0by\u00a0reducing high cardiopulmonary demand (Perry et al., 2014). For example, patients with left ventricular failure benefit from additional oxygen to the tissues because the heart cannot provide enough oxygen to the tissues due to decreased cardiac output.<\/li>\r\n \t
      • Support post-operative recovery, and\u00a0may be ordered for a specific time frame at a specific rate while the patient recovers from the surgical procedure.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nIt is important for the nurse to recognize early signs of respiratory compromise which might include shortness of breath, changes in mental status, anxiety, tachypnea (increase respiratory rate), and decreasing SpO2<\/sub> despite increasing amounts of supplemental oxygen (Fournier, 2014). Hypoxia is a medical emergency (Alberta Health Services, 2015). Untreated hypoxia can result in anaerobic metabolism, acidosis, cell death, and organ failure (Considine, 2007). It is important for the nurse to build competence in recognizing hypoxia and to work within their scope of practice and agency policies and guidelines to provide treatment.\r\n
