25
Nebulization
Process of adding moisture to inspired air by the adding water droplets
26
Orthopnea
Abnormal condition in which a person must sit or stand to breath comfortably
27
Percussion
Method of physical examination whereby the location size, and density of a body part is determined by the tone obtained from the striking of short, sharp taps of the fingers
28
Pleural friction rub
Adventitious lung sound caused by inflamed parietal and visceral pleura rubbing together on inspiration
29
Pneumothorax
Collection of air or gas in the pleural space
30
Postural drainage
Use of positioning along with percussion and vibration to drain secretions from specific segments of the lungs and bronchi into the trachea
31
Rhonchi
Abnormal lung sound when auscultated when the patients airways are obstructed with thick secretions
32
Tachypnea
Abnormally rapid rate of breathing
33
Ventilation
Respiratory process by which gases are moved into and out of the lungs
34
Vibration
Fine, shaking pressure applied by hands to the chest wall only during exhalation
35
Wheeze
Adventitious lung sounds caused by a severely narrowed bronchus
36
Alveoli
Tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged
37
Anoxia
Absence of oxygen
38
Apneustic
Abnormal breathing- deep gasping inspiration with a pause at full inspiration followed by a brief, insufficient release
39
Bronchodilator
A drug that causes widening of the bronchi (albuterol)
40
Biot't respirations
Abnormal pattern of breathing- groups of quick shallow inspirations followed by regular or irregular periods of apnea
41
Bronchoscopy
Test to view the airways and diagnose lung disease
42
Cardiac arrest
A sudden, sometimes temporary, cessation of function of the heart
43
Combustion
The process of burning something
44
Crackles aka (rales)
Abnormal rattling sound heard when examining unhealthy lungs with a stethoscope
45
Crepitation
Crackling or rattling sound
46
Erythrocytes
Red blood cell
47
Expectorant
A medicine that promotes the secretion of sputum by the air passage, used especially to treat coughs
48
Exploratory reserve volume (ERV)
Lung volumes and lung capacities refer to the volume of air associated with different phases of the respiratory cycle.
49
Expectorate
Cough or spit out phlegm from the throat or lungs
50
Flail Chest
Or paradoxical breathing is a life-threatening medical problem that occurs when a segment of the rib cage breaks under extreme stress and becomes detached from the rest of the chest wall. It occurs when multiple Adjacent ribs are broken in multiple places, separating a segment, so that part of the chest wall, moves independently. Happens by multiple rib breaks requires 3 or more ribs in 2 or more places
51
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
Is the volume of air present in the lungs, at the end of passive expiration
52
Thoracentesis
Removal of fluid from the chest by centesis for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes
53
Tidal volume
Is the amount of air exhaled after normal inspiration
54
Residual volume
The amount of the air left in the aveoli after full expiration
55
Forced vital capacity
is the maximum amount of air that can be removed from the lungs during forced expiration
56
Ventilation depends on
adequate blood supply, (blood circulation to tissue)
57
how many readings for a peak flow meter?
3 readings
58
how does petroleum jelly react with oxygen
friction between oxygen and petroleum jelly can cause a fire
59
vital capacity
volume of air exhaled after maximum inhalation
60
Functional Residual capacity
Volume of air left in lungs after normal exhalation
61
Total lung capacity
Total volume of air in lungs following a maximum inhalation
62
**Arterial Blood gases (amounts)**
pH-----------7.35-7.45 PaCO2------35-45mm Hg PaO2--------80-100 SaO2--------95-100% (oxygen saturation)(measured in the oxygen available in the tissues)
63
hemoptysis
coughing up blood (in sputum)
64
Assessment-Respiratory
1)Pulmonary function test tidal volume residual volume functional capacity vital capacity total lung capacity 2) Arterial Blood gases pH-----------7.35-7.45 PaCO2------35-45mm Hg PaO2--------80-100 SaO2--------95-100% 3) Cytologic studies- look at sputum under microscope (cancer, pathogens) 4) Endoscopic studies Bronchoscopy: Both use local aneth. test Laryngoscopy: gag reflex look for bleeding (Hemoptysis) 5) Chest x-ray 6) Lung scan 7) Throracentesis- go into thorax often to remove fluid. (sterile conditions) Preformed in pt's room. Informed consent. Check lung sounds and vital before and after. Lie on unaffected side afterwards
65
Dyspnea management
1) Pharmacological agents- bronchodilators Albuterol and epinephrine (fast acting) Trebutaline- oral (1/2 onset) sub Q (6- 15 min) Corticosteroid- long onset 2) Oxygen therapy 3) physical techniques 4) relaxation techniques
66
Humidification
add water to gas
67
nebulization
adds moisture to air breathing, thins secretions
68
Chest physiotherapy (3)
1) percussion-- cupped hand patting 2) vibration-- shaking---manually or with vest 3) postural drainage
69
pursed lips
so aveoli do not collapse
