a surgical procedure to alter shape of external nose
Rhinoplasty
an inflammation of the larynx
Laryngitis
an incision is made in the trachea and a tracheal tube is inserted for emergency airway
Tracheotomy
bronchiolar smooth muscle goes into spasm
Asthma attack
shortness of breath, nausea, and dizziness due to change in pressure
High altitude sickness
elevated blood levels of CO; lips and oral mucosa are bright red
Carbon monoxide poisoning
a progressive destruction of the alveoli and collapse of respiratory bronchioles
Emphysema
an inflammation of the upper respiratory tract
Bronchitis
the central chemoreceptors are stimulated and respond vigorously to the resulting increase in H+
Hypercapnia
the central and peripheral chemoreceptors are not stimulated, no stimulatory impulses sent
Hypocapnia
a disorder characterized by chronic airway inflammation, airway hypersensitivity, and airway obstruction
Asthma
a respiratory disorder characterized by chronic obstruction of airflow
COPD
a disorder characterized by excessive secretion of bronchial mucus accompanied by a cough
Chronic bronchitis
leading cause of cancer death in both males and females
Lung cancer
an acute infection of inflammation of the alveoli
Pneumonia
an infectious, communicable disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis; affects lungs & pleurae
Tuberculosis
hundreds of viruses cause this; symptoms include sneezing, nasal secretion, dry cough, congestion; NOT fever {common cold}
Coryza
caused by virus; symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscular aches
Influenza
an abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid in the interstitial spaces and alveoli of the lungs
Pulmonary edema
first-aid procedure to clear the airways of obstructing objects {heimlich}
Abdominal thrust maneuver
oxygen starvation due to low atmospheric oxygen or interference
Asphyxia
inhalation into the bronchial tree of a substance other than air
Aspiration
visual examination of the bronchi through a bronchoscope
Bronchoscopy
an inherited disease of secretory epithelia that affects airways, liver, pancreas, small intestine, and sweat glands
Cystic Fibrosis
painful or labored breathing
Dyspnea
loss of blood from the boss due to trauma, infection, allergy, malignant growths, or bleeding disorders {nose bleed}
Epistaxis
a deficiency of O2
Hypoxia
the use of an automatically cycling device to assist breathing
Mechanical ventilation
inflammation of the pleural membranes, which causes friction during breathing {pleuritis}
Pleurisy
sounds sometimes heard in the lungs that resemble bubbling or rattling
Rales
a breathing disorder of premature newborns in which the alveoli do not remain open due to lack of surfactant
Respiratory distress syndrome
a condition in which the respiratory system either cannot supply enough O2 to maintain metabolism or cannot eliminate enough CO2
Respiratory failure
chronic or acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose
Rhinitis
death of infants between ages 1 week and 12 months due to hypoxia from prone position during sleep
SIDS
rapid breathing rate
Tachypnea
a whistling, squeaking, or musical high pitched sounds during breathing from partially obstructed airway
Wheeze
