Q

Vital capacity

A

Q

hypoxia vs anoxia

A

deficiency of oxygen caused from red8ced oxygen concentration in the air at high altitudes or from anemia

aphonia aphasia
26
atel/o coni/o embol/o home/o -ole ox/o -pnea silic/o spir/o
imperfect a relationship to dust embolus sameness little oxygen breathing silica to breathe (spiral)
27
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) asthma wheeze paxoxysmal atelectasis bronchiectasis
disorder characterizired by respiratory insufficiency and hypoxemia paroxysmal dyspnea accompanied by wheezing; spasm of the bronchial tubes or by swelling of their mucous membrane whistling sound made during respiration occurring in sudden, periodic attacks or recurrence of symptoms incomplete expansion of a lung or a portion of it; airlessness or collapse of a lung that had once been expanded chronic dilation of a bronchus or the bronchi accompanied by a secondary infection that usually involves the lower part of the lung
28
bronchography carcinoma of the lung chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) emphysema hypoventilation
radiography of the bronchi after injection of a radiopaque contrast medium (bronchogram) lung cancer disease process that decreases the lung's ability to perform their ventilatory function chronic airflow limitation (COLD) chronic pulmonary disease characterized by an increase in the size of alveoli and by destructive changes in their walls, resulting in difficulty in breathing, hypoventilation, and hypoxemia reduced air entering the alveoli
29
hypoxemia influenza nasal polyp pleuritis/pleurisy pneumoconiosis pulmonar embolism
deficient oxygen in the blood acute, contagious respiratory infection characterized by sudden onset, chills, headache, ... swine flu abnormal, protuidng growth from nasal mucosa inflammation of the pleura respiratory condition caused by inhalation of dust particles blockage of a pulmonary artery by foreign matter
30
severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) silicosis sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) selfexplanatory tubercolosis
infectuous respiratory disease spread by close contact with an infected person form of pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of the dust of stone infectious disease caused by the bacterium mycobacterium tuberculosis
31
heimlich maneuver
method of dislodging food or other obstructions from the windpipe
32
tracheostomy/tracheotomy ventilator endotracheal intubation nasotracheal intubation/orotracheal intubation
incision of the trachea through the skin and muscles of the neck overlying the trachea machine that is used for prolonged mechanical ventilation of the lungs insertion of an airway tube through the mouth or nose into the trachea insertion of a tube into the trachea through nose or mouth
33
medications antiasthamatics decongestants antitussives bronchodilators expectorants inhalers mucolytics
asthma swelling/congestion coughing cold and allergies cause dilation of the bronchi expulsion of mucus from lungs administered medications that are breathe in destroy por dissolve mucus
34
transctracheal nasal cannula oxygen mask lung biopsy percutaneous biopsy pneumocentesis pneumonectomy pneumectomy pulmonary lobectomy rhinoplasty thoracocentesis/thoracic paracentesis
removal of small pieces of lung tissue for diagnosis tissue is obtained by puncturing the suspected lesion through the skin surgical puncture of a lung to drain fluid surgical removal of all or part of the lung when lobe of the lung is removed plastic surgery of the nose surgical puncture of the chest cavity the remove fluid
35
pleural effusion
fluid
