Abnormal low concetration of o2 in the blood
hypercapnea
to much carbon dioxide CO2 in the blood (co2 is a gaseous product of the body metabolism and is normally expelled thru the lungs) .
Bonchodilators /adrenergic stimulants
Beta 2 stimulants
causes relaxtion of smooth muscle and bronchodilation in small airways of the lungs -bronchioles
AE: Can affect cardiac system , tachycardia
adrenergic stimulants Beta 2 stimulants
Short acting beta agonist , aka rescuse inhalers
Albuterol (proventil, ventolin)
Metaproternol, (Alupent )
Long acting beta 2 agonist aka maintanance or daily use
Formoterol (performist)
Salmeterol (Servent)
Arformoterol tartrate (Brovana)
Alicholingeric bronchodilators (relaxation of the large airways -bronchi)
Ipratropium (atrovent) -short acting
Tiotropium (spirivia) longer acting (Increase stroke potential)
Greater for cardiac hx pt B?C is gentler on the heart
but still has potent bronchodilation and smooth muscle relaxation
Inhaled steriods
They are not fast acting meds so you must take them on a dialy basis in order to obtain the full benefit - they help treat inflammation
Make sure pt Swish and spit to prevent fungal infections

Fluticasone (Flovent)
Triamcinolone (azmacort)
combination inhalers
Steriod and long acting beta agonist bronchodilator
Maintanance use
Symbicort , Advair
2 bronchodilators and anticholingerigic
Less sides effects and more dilation effects
Combivent
Bronchodilators (common use in ashma tx)
Used for bronchospasm and constriction
Methylxanthines - direct relaxtion of bronchi and pulm vessals
