Q

1.Adhesion ăd-HĒ-zhŭn

A

Band of scarlike tissue that forms between two surfaces inside the body and causes them to stick together; Adhesions develop when the body’s repair mechanisms respond to any tissue disturbance, such as surgery, infection, trauma, or radiation. Although adhesions can occur anywhere in the body, they form most commonly in the abdomen after abdominal surgery, inflammation, or injury

49
Q

2.Inflammation

A

Protective response of body tissues to irritation, infection, or allergy; Signs of inflammation include redness, swelling, heat, and pain, commonly accompanied by loss of function

50
Q

3.Septicemia sĕp-tĭ-SĒ-mē-ă

A

sptic - infection; emia - blood; Systemic disease caused by infection with microorganisms and their toxins in circulating blood; also called sepsis and blood poisoning; If a patient becomes “septic,” he or she will likely have low blood pressure leading to poor circulation. Septicemia can develop as a result of the body’s own defense system or from toxic substances made by the infecting agent (e.g., a bacterium, virus, or fungus).

51
Q

4.Culture and Sensitivity (C&S)

A

Laboratory test of a body fluid placed on a culture medium to identify the cause of an infection (usually a bacterium) and a sensitivity test that determines which antibiotic drug will work best to treat the infection; A C&S test may be done on many different body fluids, such as urine, mucus, blood, pus, saliva, spinal fluid, or discharge from the vagina or the penis.

52
Q

5.Endoscopy ĕn-DŎS-kō-pē

A

Visual examination of the interior of organs and cavities with a specialized lighted instrument called an endoscope; Endoscopy can also help obtain tissue samples for biopsy, perform surgery, and monitor the course of a disease, as in the assessment of the healing of gastric ulcers. The cavity or organ examined dictates the name of the endoscopic procedure, such as gastroscopy and bronchoscopy. Use of a camera and video recorder is common to provide a permanent record.

53
Q

6.Incision and Drainage (I & D)

A

Endoscopy can also help obtain tissue samples for biopsy, perform surgery, and monitor the course of a disease, as in the assessment of the healing of gastric ulcers. The cavity or organ examined dictates the name of the endoscopic procedure, such as gastroscopy and bronchoscopy. Use of a camera and video recorder is common to provide a permanent record.
