26
define asthma
spasms of bronchial passages due to exposure to irritants
27
define COPD
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
| incudes respiratory disorders that produce chronic partial obstruction of air passages
28
define emphysema
decreased elasticity of the alveoli, they are able to expand but not contract to their original size
29
define pneumonia
inflam condition affecting the lungs primarily the alveoli, fluid collects in alveoli and spongy texture
30
define ARDS
acute respiratory distress syndrome
| condition where the lungs no longer function effectively
31
what are some abnormal breath sounds
crackle, rhonchus, stridor, wheeze
32
define crackle breathing
intermittent sounds caused by exudates, spasms, hyperplasia, or when air enters moisture-filled alveoli
33
define ronchus
continuous sound heard during inspiration and expiration caused by secretions in larger airways
resembles snoring
34
define stidor
high pitched harsh sound caused by a spasm or swelling of the larynx or obstruction
35
define acidosis
excessive acidity of bodily fluids
36
define ansomia
absence of sense of smell
37
define apnea
disorder in which breathing stops repeatedly during sleep resulting in blood deoxygenation causing the pt to awaken
3 kinds CSA, OSA, mixed
38
define atelectasis
collapsed or airless state of lung
39
define coryza
acute inflam of the membranes of the nose
40
define croup
common childhood condition involving the inflam of the larynx, trachea, and bronchial passages, st lungs
41
define cystic fibrosis
genetic disease causing mucus to become unusually thick and sticky, plugging tubes and ducts especially in the lungs an pancreas
42
define deviated nasal septum
displacement of the cartilage deviding the nostrils causing reduced airflow
43
define epiglottitis
infection of the epiglottis and supraglottic structures that occurs in children (2-12)
44
define epistaxis
nasal hemorrhaging
45
define hypoxemia
oxygen deficiency in arterial blood, sign of respiratory impairment
46
define hypoxia
oxygen deficiency in body that commonly causes cynosis
47
define influenza
acute, contagious viral disorder of the respiratory tract, weakness, fever, chills, and muscle pain
48
define pertussis
acute infectious disease characterized by a cough that has a characteristic whoop
49
define pleural effusion
abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity that impairs breathing by limiting expansion of lungs
50
define empyema
exudative effusion characterized by collection of pus in the pleural cavity commonly caused by bacterial pneumonia
51
define pneumothorax
presence of air in the pleural cavity
52
define pleurisy
inflam of the pleural membrane
53
define pulmonary edema
accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung tissues and alveoli common in heart failure
54
define pulmonary embolism
blockage in an artery of the lungs caused by a mass of undissolved matter that has traveled to the lungs from another body part
55
define SIDS
sudden infant death syndrome
| completely unexpected and unexplained death of an apparently normal healthy infant
56
define TB
tuberculosis
| affects the lungs causes chest pain, hemopptysis, weight loss, fatigue, night sweats
57
define antibiotics
destroy or inhibit growth of bacteria by disrupting their membranes or metabolic processess
58
define antihistamines
block histamines from binding with their receptors
59
define antitussives
relieve or supress coughing by blocking the cough reflex in the brain
60
define bronchodilators
stimulate bronchial muscles to relax therby expanding air passages
61
define corticosteroids
act on immune system by blocking production of substances that trigger allergic reactions and inflam actions
62
define decongestants
constrict blood vessels of nasal passages and limit blood flow which causes swollen tissues
63
define expectorants
liquefy respiratory secretions so that they are more easily dislodged
