auscultation
tapping on surface to determine difference in density of underlying structure
percussion
scratchy sound produced by pleural surfaces rubbing against each other
pleural rub
fine cracking sounds heard on auscultation during inhalation when there is fluid in alveoli
rales (crackles)
loud rumbling sounds heard on auscultation of bronchi obstructed by sputum
rhonchi
material expelled from bronchi, lungs, upper respiratory tract by spitting
sputum
strained, high pitched sound heard on inspiration caused by obstruction in the pharynx or larynx
stridor
continuous high pitched whistling sounds during breathing
wheezes
acute viral infection of infants/children with obstruction of larynx accompanied by barking cough and stridor
croup
acute infection of throat and upper resp tract caused by diphtheria bacterium
diphtheria
nosebleed
epistaxis
whooping cough; highly contagious bacterial infection of pharynx, larynx, and trachea caused by bordetella pertussis
pertussis
chronic inflammatory disorder with airway obstruction due to bronchial/ar edema and constriction
asthma
chronic dilation of bronchus, usually secondary to infection
bronchiectasis
inflammation of bronchi persisting over long time, type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd)
chronic bronchitis
inherited disorder of exocrine glands resulting in thick mucinous secretions in resp tract that don’t drain normally
cystic fibrosis (cf)
collapsed lung, incomplete expansion of alveoli
atelectasis
hyperinflation of air sacs with destruction of alveolar walls
emphysema
malignant tumor arising from lungs and bronchi
lung cancer
abnormal lung condtion caused by exposure to certain dusts; with chronic inflammation, infection, bronchitis
pneumoconiosis
acute inflammation and infection of alveoli, which fill with pus or products of the inflammatory reaction
pneumonia
large collection of pus in the lungs
pulmonary abscess
fluid in the air sacs and bronchioles
pulmonary edema
clot or other material lodges in vessels of the lung
pulmonary embolism (pe)
formation of scar tissue in the connective tissue of lungs
pulmonary fibrosis
chronic inflammatory disease in which small nodules develop in lung, lymph nodes, other organs
sarcoidosis
infection disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis; lungs usually involved but any organ may be affected
tuberculosis (tb)
rare malignant tumor arising in pleura
mesothelioma
abnormal accumulation of fluid in pleural space (cavity0

lung biopsy
endoscopic visual exam of mediastinum
mesiastinoscopy
tests that measure ventilation mechanics of lungs; airway function, lung volume, capacity of lungs to exchange oxygen and co2
