59
Q

bronchodilators

A

increase airflow by dilating constricted airways through relaxation of the smooth muscles that surround the bronchioles and bronchi

60
Q

corticosteroids

A

decrease inflammation in the airways, reduce swelling and mucus production and making breathing easier

61
Q

mucolytics

A

liquefy sputum or reduce its viscosity so that it can be coughed up more easily

62
Q

nebulized mist treatments (NMTs)

A

produce a fine spray (nebulizer) to deliver a medication directly into the lungs

63
Q

postural drainage

A

use of body positioning to assist in removal of secretions from specific loves of the lung, bronchi, or lung cavities

64
Q

endotracheal intubation

A

insertion of endotracheal tube (ETT) through the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe) just above the bronchi to provide air to patients who are unable to breathe on their own because of airway obstruction or respiratory failure, as well as to administer O2, medication, or anesthesia

65
Q

pulmonary function tests (PFTs)

A

group of tests that measure the capacity of the lungs and the volume of air during inhalation and exhalation

66
Q

spirometry

A

common lung function test that measures and records the volume and rate of inhaled and exhaled air and is used to assess pulmonary function by means of a spirometer

67
Q

polysomnography (PSG)

A

test that diagnoses sleep disorders by recording various aspects of sleep, such as eye and muscle movements, respiration, and EEG patterns

68
Q

bronchoscopy

A

visual examination of the interior bronchi using a bronchoscope, a flexible fiber-optic instrument with a light, which can be inserted through the nose or mouth

69
Q

arterial blood gas (ABG)

A

measurement of the O2 and CO2 content of arterial blood by using various methods

70
Q

pneumothorax

A

collection of air in the pleural cavity, causing the complete or partial collapse of a lung

71
Q

pleural effusion

A

abnormal presence of fluid in the pleural cavity

72
Q

pertussis

A

acute infectious disease characterized by a cough with a sound like a “whoop”; also called whooping cough

73
Q

pleural mesothelioma

A

aggressive, rare lung CA that develops in the pleura (mesothelium layer) cause primarily by the inhalation of microscopic asbestos fibers

74
Q

influenza

A

acute, contagious respiratory infection characterized by sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, and muscle pain

75
Q

hypoxia

A

deficiency of O2 in body tissues, usually a sign of respiratory impairment

76
Q

Q

epistaxis

A

hemorrhage from the nose; also called nosebleed

78
Q

epiglottitis

A

in the acute form, a severe, life-threatening infection of the epiglottis and surrounding area that occurs most commonly in children between ages 2 and 12 years with a sudden onset of fever, dysphagia, inspiratory stridor, and severe respiratory distress

79
Q

empynea

A

pus in a body cavity, especially in the pleural cavity (pyothorax)

80
Q

cystic fibrosis (CF)

A

genetic disease of exocrine glands characterized by excessive secretions of thick mucus that does not drain normally, causing obstruction of passageways (including pancreatic and bile ducts and bronchi)

81
Q

croup

A

acute respiratory syndrome that occurs primarily in children and infants and is characterized by laryngeal obstruction and spasm, barking cough, and stridor

82
Q

coryza

A

acute inflammation of nasal passages accompanied by profuse nasal discharge, also called a cold

83
Q

A

collapse of lung tissue, preventing respiratory exchange of O2 and CO2

84
Q

anoxia

A

total absence of O2 in body tissues

85
Q

adventitious breath sounds

A

abnormal breath sounds heard during respiration with the use of a stethoscope (auscultation)

Q

pleural rub

A

grating sound of the pleural linings rubbing against each other that is heard on auscultation; also called friction rub

87
Q

rales

A

fine, crackling or bubbling sounds, commonly heard during inspiration when there is fluid in the alveoli; also called crackles

88
Q

rhonchi

A

snoring, rumbling sounds heard upon auscultation of the chest during respiration

89

A

high-pitched, musical breathing sound made on inspiration and caused by obstruction in the pharynx or larynx, commonly heard without the use of a stethoscope
