In a state of hypercapnia, the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood causes the pH of the blood to drop, leading to a state of respiratory acidosis.

Pulmonary ventilation provides air to the alveoli for this gas exchange process. At the respiratory membrane, where the alveolar and capillary walls meet, gases move across the membranes, with oxygen entering the bloodstream and carbon dioxide exiting. It is through this mechanism that blood is oxygenated and carbon dioxide, the waste product of cellular respiration, is removed from the body.

To achieve these functions, muscles and structures of the thorax create the mechanical movement of air into and out of the lungs called ventilation. For a detailed review of the respiratory system, common respiratory disorders, and related medications, visit the “Respiratory” chapter of the Open RN Nursing Pharmacology textbook.

(See Table 11.2.3 in the “Basic Concepts of Oxygenation” section for more information about obstructive sleep apnea.) The CPAP device consists of a special mask that covers the patient’s nose, or nose and mouth, and is attached to a machine that continuously applies mild air press…

It explains how the respiratory system provides oxygen to the body, removes carbon dioxide, and maintains acid-base balance. Key structures involved include the conducting zone (nose, pharynx, trachea) and respiratory zone (alveoli).

Pneumothorax types include traumatic, primary spontaneous, secondary spontaneous, and iatrogenic, each differentiated by the cause of air entry into the pleural space. It's more common in males, with primary spontaneous cases prevalent in younger adults and secondary spontaneous in older.
