Q

asthma definition

A

an acute spasm of the smaller air passages, called bronchioles, associated with excessive mucus production and with swelling of the mucous lining of the respiratory passages.

23
Q

congestive heart failure

A

a disorder in with the heart loses part of its ability to pump blood, usually as a result of damage to the heart muscle and usually resulting in a back up of fluid into the lungs

24
Q

croup

A

an inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory system that may cause partial airway obstruction and is characterized by a barking cough; usually seen in children

25
Q

diphtheria

A

an infectious disease in which a membrane forms, lining the pharynx; this lining can severely obstruct the passage of air into the lungs

26
Q

emphysema

A

a disease of the lungs in which there is extreme dilation and eventual destruction of the pulmonary alveoli with poor exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, it is one form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

27
Q

epiglottitis

A

a disease in which the epiglottis becomes inflamed and enlarged and may cause an upper airway obstruction

28
Q

influenza type a (flu)

A

a virus that has crossed the animal/ human barrier and infected humans, recently reaching a pandemic level with the H1N1 strain

29
Q

pertussis (whooping cough)

A

an airborne bacterial infection that affects mostly children younger than 6 years old, in which a patient is feverish and exhibits a whooping sound on inspiration after a coughing attack; highly contagious through the droplet infection. also called the whooping cough

30
Q

pneumonia

A

an infectious disease of the lung that damages lung tissue; its cause can be bacterial, visual or fungal

31
Q

pneumothorax

A

a partial or complete accumulation of air in the pleural space

32
Q

pulmonary embolism

A

a considerable amount of lung tissue may not be functioning

33
Q

tension pneumothorax

A

an accumulation of air or gas in the pleural space that progressively increase pressure in the chest that interferes with cardiac function

34
Q

Respiratory syncytial virus

A

a virus that causes an infection of the lungs and breathing passages; can lead to other serious illnesses that affect the lungs or heart

35
Q

tuberculosis

A

a chronic bacteria disease, usually affects the lungs but can also affect the brain and kidneys. It is spread by cough and can usually lie dormant in a persons lung for decades then reactive.

36
Q

Diffusion

A

a process in which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

37
Q

Red blood cells

A

carry hemoglobin and oxygen through the body, delivering it to the capillaries.

38
Q

Carbon dioxide

A

moves from the blood into the air sacs by diffusion then leaves the body during exhalation.

39
Q

The upper airway consists of

A 
Nose
Mouth
Jaw
Oral cavity
Pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
Larynx
40
Q

lower airway: is to provide oxygen to the alveoli

A 
Trachea
Bronchi
Bronchioles
Smaller bronchioles
Mediastinum
41
Q

Respiration

A

he actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli as well as the tissues of the body.

42
Q

The phrenic nerve

A

a nerve that originates in the neck (C3-C5) and passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm.

43
Q

A sign

A

is something that can be observed externally

44
Q

A symptom

A

is something that is felt internally

45
Q

START triage classifications

A
  • Deceased/expectant (black)
  • Immediate (red)
  • Delayed (yellow)
  • Walking wounded/minor (green)
46
Q

Factors Affecting Respiration: External factors

A
  • Elevation
  • Closed environments such as mines and trenches
  • Carbon monoxide and other toxic poisonous gases
47
Q

Factors Affecting Respiration: internal factors

A
  • Medical conditions such as pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and COPD
  • Intrapulmonary shunting: blood entering the lungs from the right side of the heart bypasses the alveoli and returns to the left side of the heart in an unoxygenated state
  • Hypoxia, hypoglycemia, and infection
48
Q

See-saw respirations

A

Also known as paradoxical motion: associated with a fracture of several ribs causing a section of the chest to move independently from the rest of the chest wall

49
Q

Ventilation rates for assisted ventilations

A
  • Once every 5 seconds for adult

- Once every 3 seconds for child or infants

50
