88
acute respiratory distress syndrome
respiratory failure as a result of disease or injury. ARDS is respiratory failure in an adult. Symptoms include dyspnea, tachypnea, and cyanosis.
89
asthma
respiratory disease characterized by coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, caused by constriction and inflammation of airways that is reversible between attacks
90
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
progressive lung disease obstructing air flow, which makes breathing difficult. chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema are the two main components of COPD
91
coccidiodomycosis
fungal disease affecting the lungs and sometimes other organs of the body
92
croup
condition resulting from acute obstruction of the larynx, characterized by a barking cough, hoarseness, and stridor
93
cystic fibrosis (CF)
hereditary disorder of the exocrine glands characterized by excess mucus production in the respiratory tract, pancreatic deficiency, and other symptoms
94
deviated septum
one part of the nasal cavity is smaller because of malformation or injury of the nasal septum
95
epistaxis
nosebleed
96
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
chronic progressive lung disorder characterized by increasing scarring, which ultimately reduces the capacity of the lungs, etiology unknown.
97
influenza
highly contagious and often severe viral infection of the respiratory tract
98
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
repetitive pharyngeal collapse during sleep, which leads to transient periods of apnea (absence of breathing)
99
pertussis
highly contagious bacterial infection of the respiratory tract characterized by an acute crowing inspiration or whoop
100
pleural effusion
fluid in the pleural space caused by a disease process or trauma
101
pulmonary edema
fluid accumulation in the alveoli and bronchioles, most often a manifestation of heart failure
102
pulmonary emphysema
loss of elasticity of the alveoli resulting in distention causing stretching of the lung
103
pulmonary embolism (PE)
matter foreign to the circulation, carried to the pulmonary artery and its branches, where is blocks circulation to the lungs and can be fatal if of sufficient size or number
104
tuberculosis (TB)
infectious bacterial disease, most commonly spread by inhalation of small particles and usually affecting the lungs; may spread to other organs
105
upper respiratory infection (URI)
infection of the nasal cavity, pharynx, or larynx usually caused by a virus
