Dyspnea - definitions Dyspnea Subjective experience of breathing difficulty Hengenahdistuksen patofysiologiset mekanismit Pathophysiological mechanisms of Awareness of respiratory effort Not a sign! Varying expressions Shortness of breath / ilman loppumisen tunne Distressing breathing / hengitys tuntuu ahtaalta Air hunger / ilmannälkä Stifling sensation / tukahduttava olo Kliinisen fysiologian seminaari Pekka Malmberg, dosentti Hyks, Iho- ja allergiasairaala Breathlessness / hengästynyt Chest discomfort / puristus kurkussa/rinnassa velco dojcinovski: Dyspnea Wassermann and Cassaburi 1988 HENGENAHDISTUS = HENGITYSVAJAUS DYSPNEA = RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY Äkillinen hengitysvajaus on elintoimintahäiriö, jossa happeutumisen häiriö, hiilidioksidin kertyminen tai hengitystyö lisääntyy ja vaatii hoitotoimenpiteitä. Häiriössä happikyllästeisyys (Sa0 2 ) laskee alle 90 %:n tai happiosapaine (PaO 2 ) alle 8 kpa:n. Respiratorinen asidoosi (ph alle 7.35) seuraa hiilidioksidin kertymisestä. de Torres et al.
