These objectives, which form the basis of each chapter, were developed from the new Education Standards and Instructional Guidelines. Minutes Content Outline I. 5 25 20 Master Teaching Notes Introduction Case Study Discussion A. During this lesson, students will learn about processes that occur in the human body. B. Case Study 1. Present The Dispatch and Upon Arrival information from the chapter. 2. Discuss with students how they would proceed. II. Cellular Metabolism—Aerobic Metabolism A. Cellular metabolism, or cellular respiration, is the process through which cells break down glucose to produce energy for the body. B. Aerobic respiration is cellular respiration in the presence of oxygen. C. Glycolysis is the process through which glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid molecules. 1. Occurs in the cytosol 2. Releases only a small amount of energy (two moles of ATP) D. The process continues in the mitochondria in the presence of oxygen to release a much large amount of energy (36 moles of ATP). E. By-products include heat, carbon dioxide, and water. III. Cellular Metabolism—Anaerobic Metabolism A. Anaerobic metabolism is cellular respiration in the absence of oxygen. 1. As in aerobic respiration, glucose is converted to pyruvic acid in the cytosol. 2. Without oxygen, the pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid. 3. By-products are lactic acid and two moles of ATP. 4. High levels of acid inactivate enzyme function, disrupt cell membranes, and lead to cell death. B. Sodium/potassium pump failure PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE, 9TH EDITION DETAILED LESSON PLAN 8 How does the patient’s loss of blood place his life in jeopardy?

What causes cells to swell and burst if hypoxia continues? IV. Components Necessary for Adequate Perfusion—Composition of 15 Ambient Air A. Perfusion is the delivery of oxygen, glucose, and other substances to the cells and the elimination of waste products from the cells. B. The concentration of oxygen in ambient air will determine the proportion of oxygen molecules that end up in the alveoli to be available for gas exchange with the blood. 1. The concentration of oxygen the patient is breathing should be at least 21 percent. 2. If the concentration is lower, less oxygen will be available for cells to use for metabolism. C. One way to improve cellular oxygenation is by increasing the concentration of oxygen in the air breathed in by the patient. 1. FiO2 is the fraction of inspired oxygen administered to a patient who is breathing on his own. 2. FDO2 is a fraction of delivered oxygen delivered by a ventilation device to a patient who is not able to breathe on his own. D. Toxic gases 1. Some toxic gases displace the amount of oxygen in the air and suffocate the patient. 2. Some gases disrupt the ability of the blood to carry adequate amounts of oxygen to the cells. 3. Some toxic gases may interfere with the ability of the cells to use oxygen. PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE, 9TH EDITION DETAILED LESSON PLAN 8 Critical Thinking Discussion What are some reasons why cells might not receive an adequate amount of oxygen? PAGE 2 Chapter 8 objectives can be found in an accompanying folder. These objectives, which form the basis of each chapter, were developed from the new Education Standards and Instructional Guidelines. Minutes 10 Content Outline Master Teaching Notes V. Components Necessary for Adequate Perfusion—Patency of Airway A. A patent airway is one that is not obstructed. B. Nasopharynx 1. Blood, vomitus, or other substances that occlude the nasopharynx may drain into the pharynx and lead to aspiration or occlusion. 2. The nasopharynx must be kept clear in case it needs to be used as an alternative location to establish an airway. C. Oropharynx and pharynx 1. Can become obstructed by the tongue, foreign bodies, tissue swelling, hematomas, vomitus, and other substances 2. Obstructions must be removed immediately because aspirated substances can damage lung tissue or fill the alveoli, thereby interfering with gas exchange. D. Epiglottis 1. The flap of cartilaginous tissue that covers the opening of the larynx 2. Can become inflamed and occlude the airway E. Larynx 1. The structure that contains the vocal cords 2. Obstructions will prevent airflow into the trachea and lungs, resulting in poor oxygen levels in the blood and cellular hypoxia. a. Can be obstructed by laryngeal spasm, where the vocal cords spasm and close together b. Fracture of the larynx may cause the laryngeal structures to be drawn inward. F. Trachea and bronchi 1. Trachea extends downward and bifurcates at the carina. 2. Trachea bifurcates into the left and right bronchi. 3. Obstructions of the trachea or bronchi reduce the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli, leading to cellular hypoxia. PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE, 9TH EDITION DETAILED LESSON PLAN 8 PAGE 3 VI. Components Necessary for Adequate Perfusion—Respiratory 10 Compromise Associated with Mechanics of Ventilation A. Boyle’s Law applied to ventilation 1. An increase in pressure will decrease the volume of gas. 2. A decrease in pressure will increase the volume of gas. B. Accessory Muscles 1. Accessory muscles may be required to increase chest size or force air out of the lungs and chest. a. Inhalation involves sternocleidomastoid muscles, scalene muscles, and pectoralis minor muscles. b. Exhalation involves abdominal muscles and internal intercoastal muscles. C. Compliance and airway resistance 1. Compliance is a measure of the ability of the chest wall and lungs to stretch, distend, and expand. 2. Airway resistance relates to the ease of airflow down the conduit of airway structures leading to the alveoli. D. Pleural space 1. Any break in the pleura creates negative pressure, which draws air into the pleural space. 2. Occluding any open wound to the chest must be done early in the primary assessment of a patient. E. Minute ventilation is the amount of air moved in and out of the lungs in one minute. 1. Determined by multiplying the tidal volume by the frequency of ventilation in one minute 2. Tidal volume is the volume of air breathed in with each individual breath. 3. Frequency of ventilation is the number of ventilations in one minute. a. A decrease in tidal volume or frequency of ventilation will decrease the minute ventilation. b. A decrease in the minute ventilation will reduce the amount of air available for gas exchange in the alveoli and lead to cellular hypoxia. F. Alveolar ventilation 1. Alveolar ventilation is the amount of air moved in and out of the alveoli in one minute. 2. Dead air space (VD) consists of anatomical areas in the respiratory tract where air collects during inhalation. PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE, 9TH EDITION DETAILED LESSON PLAN 8 Discussion Questions How do patients compensate for a condition that decreases tidal volume? If a patient’s tidal volume is 300 mL and his respiratory rate is 20, what is the alveolar ventilation? Is this adequate or not? Critical Thinking Discussion Will applying oxygen by nonrebreather mask improve tidal volume? Why or why not? Teaching Tip Give several examples of how changing the tidal volume and respiratory rate change the minute volume. Knowledge Application Given several scenarios including a patient’s respiratory rate and tidal volume, determine if the patient’s alveolar ventilation is likely to be adequate or inadequate. Teaching Tip Ask students to breathe normally through a drinking straw to demonstrate the effect of dead air space on alveolar ventilation. PAGE 4 VII. Components Necessary for Adequate Perfusion—Regulation of 10 Ventilation A. Chemoreceptors monitor pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen levels in arterial blood. 1. Central chemoreceptors are most sensitive to carbon dioxide and changes in the pH of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). 2. Peripheral chemoreceptors are most sensitive to the level of oxygen in the arterial blood. 3. Hypoxic drive is a condition in which hypoxia becomes the stimulus for ventilation in place of hypercarbia. B. Lung receptors provide impulses to regulate respiration. 1. Irritant receptors 2. Stretch receptors 3. J-receptors C. Respiratory centers in the brain stem 1. Dorsal respiratory group (DRG) 2. Ventral respiratory group (VRG) 3. Apneustic center 4. Pneumotaxic center Discussion Question How can an injury to the brain interfere with perfusion? VIII. Components Necessary for Adequate Perfusion—Ventilation/ 10 Perfusion Ratio A. The ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) ratio relates the amount of ventilation the alveoli receive to the amount of perfusion through the capillaries surrounding the alveoli. 1. In the apexes of the lungs, the amount of available ventilation in the alveoli exceeds the amount of perfusion through the pulmonary capillaries. 2. In the bases of the lungs, the amount of perfusion exceeds the amount of ventilation. B. Pressure imbalances 1. If the pressure in an alveolus exceeds the blood pressure in the capillary bed, blood flow through the capillary stops. 2. Pressure imbalance will result in poor pulmonary perfusion, hypoxemia, and cellular hypoxia. C. Ventilatory disturbances 1. If less oxygenated air is available in the alveoli for the amount of blood flowing through the pulmonary capillaries, less oxygen will be delivered to the cells. 2. Ventilatory disturbances can lead to hypoxemia and cellular hypoxia. 3. Managing such a disturbance should focus on improving ventilation and PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE, 9TH EDITION DETAILED LESSON PLAN 8 Discussion Question What is the concept of the ventilation/perfusion ratio? Critical Thinking Discussion A patient takes a drug that prevents the heart rate from increasing. What are the consequences if the patient lost a large quantity of blood? PAGE 5 oxygenation. D. Perfusion disturbances 1. If adequate oxygenated air is moving into the alveoli, but there is not enough blood to pick it up due to decreased blood flow, less oxygen will be delivered to the cells. 2. A perfusion disturbance can lead to severe cellular hypoxia. 3. Managing such a disturbance should focus on increasing blood flow through the pulmonary capillaries, the availability of hemoglobin, and the delivery of oxygen to the cells. 15 IX. Components Necessary for Adequate Perfusion—Transport of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide by the Blood A. A disturbance in the transport system may lead to cellular hypoxia and hypercarbia. 1. Cellular hypoxia is a lack of oxygen available to the cells. 2. Hypercarbia is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. B. Oxygen transport 1. About 1.5 to 3 percent of oxygen is dissolved in plasma. 2. About 97 to 98.5 percent of oxygen is transported by attaching to hemoglobin molecules. 3. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule that has four iron sites for oxygen to bind to. 4. Oxyhemoglobin describes an oxygen molecule once it binds with hemoglobin. 5. Deoxyhemoglobin describes a hemoglobin molecule without any oxygen attached to it. C. Carbon dioxide transport 1. About 7 percent of carbon dioxide is dissolved in plasma. 2. About 23 percent of carbon dioxide is attached to hemoglobin. 3. About 70 percent of carbon dioxide is in the form of bicarbonate. D. Alveolar/capillary gas exchange 1. Gases move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. 2. Oxygen moves from alveoli into capillaries while carbon dioxide moves from capillaries into alveoli. 3. Carbon-dioxide rich air is then expelled during exhalation while oxygen is carried to the left atrium of the heart to the left ventricle and then throughout the body. E. Cell/capillary gas exchange 1. Oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle travels through an artery to PREHOSPITAL EMERGENCY CARE, 9TH EDITION DETAILED LESSON PLAN 8 Critical Thinking Discussion A blood clot obstructs blood flow through the pulmonary artery. Explain how this affects perfusion. Class Activity Perfusion biographies. Assign students to play the role of various components of perfusion (red blood cells, right ventricle, and so on). Encourage students to select a name for their component, such as Larry the Left Ventricle. Students will spend five to ten minutes writing the biography of their component and will then present it to the class. Animations Go to www.bradybooks.com and click on the mykit link for Prehospital PAGE 6 arterioles to capillaries. 2. In the capillaries, oxygen breaks free of hemoglobin and diffuses out of the plasma and into the cell. 3. In the capillaries, carbon dioxide leaves the cell and crosses over into the capillary where it dissolves, attaches to hemoglobin, or is converted to bicarbonate. 4. Blood rich in carbon dioxide is then transported back to the right atrium of the heart, to the right ventricle, and then pumped to the lungs.
