Question 1

Ventilation

Accepted Answer

Breathing in and out (inhalation and exhalation), or artificial provision of breaths

Question 2

Alveolar Ventilation

Accepted Answer

The amount of air that reaches the alveoli

Question 3

Diffusion

Accepted Answer

A process by which molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Question 4

Pulmonary Respiration

Accepted Answer

The exchange of O2 and CO2 between the alveoli and circulating blood in the pulmonary capillaries

Question 5

Cellular respiration

Accepted Answer

The exchange of O2 and CO2 between cells and circulating blood

Question 6

Respiration

Accepted Answer

The diffusion of O2 and CO2 between the alveoli and the blood (pulmonary respiration) and between the blood and the cells (cellular respiration), Also used to mean, simply breathing

Question 7

Hypoxia

Accepted Answer

An insufficiency of O2 in the body's tissues

Question 8

Respiratory Distress

Accepted Answer

Increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of breath

Question 9

Respiratory Failure

Accepted Answer

The inadequacy of breathing to the point where O2 intake or the ventilation removal of CO2 is not sufficient to support life

Question 10

Respiratory Arrest

Accepted Answer

When breathing completely stops

Question 11

Cyanosis

Accepted Answer

A blue or gray color resulting from lack of O2 in the body

Question 12

Artificial Ventilation

Accepted Answer

The use of positive pressure to force air or O2 into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has inadequate breathing. Also called positive pressure ventilation

Question 13

Positive Pressure Ventilation

Accepted Answer

The use of positive pressure to force air or O2 into the lungs when a patient has stopped breathing or has inadequate breathing. Also called artificial ventilation

Question 14

Pocket Face Mask

Accepted Answer

A device, usually with a one-way valve, to aid in artificial ventilation. A rescuer breathes through the valve when the mask is placed over the patient's face, it also acts as a barrier to prevent contact with a patient's breath or bodily fluids. It can also be used with supplemental O2 when fitted with an O2 inlet.

Question 15

Bag Valve Mask (BVM)

Accepted Answer

A hand-held device with a face mask and self refilling bag that can be squeezed to provide artificial ventilations to a patient. It can deliver air from the atmosphere or O2 from supplemental O2 supply system

Question 16

Stoma

Accepted Answer

A permanent surgical opening in the neck through which the patient breathes

Question 17

Automatic Transport Ventilator (ATV)

Accepted Answer

A device that provides positive pressure ventilations. It includes settings designed to adjust ventilation rate and volume, is portable and is easily carried on an ambulance

Question 18

Oxygen Cylinder

Accepted Answer

A Cylinder filled with O2 under pressure

Question 19

Pressure Regulator

Accepted Answer

A device connected to an O2 cylinder to reduce cylinder pressure so it is safe for delivery of O2 to a patient

Question 20

Flowmeter

Accepted Answer

A valve that indicates the flow of O2 in liters per minute (LPM)

Question 21

Humidifier

Accepted Answer

A device connected to the flowmeter to add moisture to the dry O2 coming from an O2 cylinder

Question 22

Non-Rebreather (NRB) Mask

Accepted Answer

A face mask and reservoir bag device that delivers high concentrations of O2. The patients exhaled air escapes through a valve (flutter valves), and is not re-breathed

Question 23

Nasal Cannula

Accepted Answer

A device that delivers low concentration of O2 through two (2) prongs that rest in the patient's nostril's

Question 24

Partial Rebreather Mask

Accepted Answer

A face mask and reservoir O2 bag with NO one way valve to the reservoir bag. So, some exhaled air, mixes with the O2, used in some patients to help preserve CO2 levels in the blood to stimulate breathing

Question 25

Venturi Mask

Accepted Answer

A face mask and reservoir bag device that delivers specific concentrations of O2 by mixing O2 with inhaled air

Question 26

Tracheostomy Mask

Accepted Answer

A device designed to be placed over a stoma or tracheostomy tube to provide supplemental O2

Question 27

Amount of Air that enters the alveoli for gas exchange is referred to as:

Accepted Answer

Alveolar ventilation

Question 28

For pulmonary and cellular respiration to work efficiently __________ must also be functioning

Accepted Answer

Cardiovascular System
