33
rales
crackling sounds heard on inspiration
34
rhonchi
low rumbling sounds hearing on auscultation
35
sputum
material expelled fro the bronchi, lungs, or upper respiratory tract by spitting
36
stridor
strained, high-pitched sounds heard on inspiration caused by obstruction in pharynx or larynx
37
wheezes
continuous high-pitched whistling sounds produced during breathing
38
croup
acute viral infection with obstruction of larynx, accompanied by barking cough and stridor
39
diphtheria
acute infection of throat and upper respiratory tract caused by the diphtheria bacterium
40
epistaxis
nosebleed
41
pertussis
whooping cough, bacterial infection of pharynx, larynx, and trachea caused by Bordetella bacterium
42
asthma
chronic bronchial inflammation disorder with airway obstruction due to bronchial edema and constriction, and increased mucus production
43
bronchiectasis
chronic dilation of bronchus (secondary to infection)
44
chronic bronchitis
inflammation of bronchi over a long time
45
cystic fibrosis (bronchial disorder)
inherited disorder to exocrine glands resulting in thick mucinous secretion in the respiratory tract that do not drain normally
46
atelectasis
incomplete expansion of alveoli
47
emphysema
hyperinflation of air sacs with destruction of alveolar walls
48
pneumonectomy
lung cancer
49
penumonoconious
caused by dust in lungs: chronic inflammation, infection, and bronchitis
50
pneumonia
acute inflammation and infection of alveoli, which fill with pus or productions of inflammatory reaction
- community acquired
- hospital acquired
- aspiration pneumonia
51
pulmonary abscess (lung disease)
large collection of pus (from a bacterial infection)
52
pulmonary edema (lung disease)
fluid in air sacs and bronchioles (most frequently found in congestive heart failure, because heart can't pump blood satisfactorily)
53
pulmonary embolism (lung disease)
clot (or other material) lodges in vessels of lung
54
pulmonary fibrosis (lung disease)
formation of scar tissue in the connective tissue of lungs
55
tuberculosis (lung disease)
infection disease caused by M. Tuberculosis
56
mesothelioma (pleural disorder)
rare malignant tumor which forms in lining of pleura, caused by exposure to asbestos
57
pleural effusion (pleural disorder)
abnormal accumulation of fluid in pleural space (r/t infection, tumors and fluid form heart failure, embolism, cirrhosis)
58
pleurisy (pleural disorder)
inflammation of the pleura: symptoms are pleurodynia, dyspnea
59
pneumothorax
collection of air in the pleural space
