23
Q

The inspiratory setting for bilevel CPAP (abbreviation)

A

IPAP

24
Q

Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema

A

Fluid accumulation in the air spaces and parenchyma of the lungs due to increased capillary hydrostatic pressure secondary to elevated pulmonary venous pressure.

25
Q

Chest cuirass

A

The shell-light device that fits over the thorax for the delivery of negative pressure ventilation.

26
Q

Community-acquired pneumonia

A

A common infectious respiratory disease characterized by inflammation of lung tissue, acquired outside the hospital setting by inhalation Or aspiration of pathogenic organisms into a long segment or low. An ammonia contracted from the environment as a post to be in a choir with any medical facility (e.g., Hospital in acquired pneumonia), CAP is usually more sensitive to antibiotics.

27
Q

Cor pulmonale

A

Enlargement (hypertrophy) or failure of the right hard and pulmonary hypertension cause by certain pulmonary parenchyma or pulmonary vascular disorders.

28
Q

Delay – time control

A

A comfort feature Inc. in mini non-invasive pressure-targeted ventilators that allows a user to set a period of time that must elapsed before inspiratory and expiratory pressure is achieved prescribed levels. A very low pressure and continuous flow of gas will continue through the circuit during the interval of time. It is most often used in conjunction with the rent feature.

29
Q

Expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP)

A

The application of positive pressure to the airway during exhalation.

30
Q

Inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP)

A

The application of positive pressure of the airway during inspiration.

31
Q

Inspissated secretions

A

Airway secretions that are thickened or Harden through the lost or evaporation of the liquid portion.

32
Q

Intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB)

A

The application of positive pressure breast to the upper airway on a periodic basis semicolon used to provide short term or intermittent mechanical ventilation for the purpose of augmenting long expansion, delivering aerosol medication, or assisting ventilation.

33
Q

Intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV

A

A general term for mechanical ventilation provided by positive pressure. The acronym IPPV can also be used to mean invasive positive pressure ventilation in which the patient has an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube in place to connect to the ventilator.

34
Q

Iron lung

A

A negative pressure ventilator. Also called a tank Ventilator, artificial long, or drinker respirator.

35
Q

Nocturnal hypoventilation

A

An elevated PaCO2 and accompanying fall and oxygen saturation that occurs in response to a progressive fall and minute ventilation occurring during sleep, most often in the rapid eye-movement (REM) stage.

36
Q

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV)

A

The delivery of positive pressure mechanical ventilation to the lungs without the use of an artificial airway.

37
Q

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

A

A condition characterized by episodes of breathing cessation during sleep. Relaxation of the muscles of the upper part of the throat during sleep causes the upper airway to close, blocking the upper airway (oral Fernix) and preventing air from entering the lungs. This result in failure of air movement through the obstructive passage while breathing efforts persist. At least five episodes of apnea (lack of air movement) lasting 10 or more seconds a characteristics of OSA.

38
Q

Pressure – target ventilators

A

Ventilators that provide multiple modes for resetting the maximum inflation pressure rather than a fixed title volume.

39
Q

Ramp

A

A comfort feature Inc. in mini noninvasive pressure – target Ted ventilators that allow an incremental rise and set pressures over a set period of time; most often used in conjunction with the delay – time control.

40
Q

Simethicone agents

A

A non-prescription agent that reduces the surface tension of gas bubbles in the stomach.
