Disease Respiratory/cardiac Flashcards
An insufficient supply of oxygenated blood to an area of the body is called:
Ischemia
Conditions that narrow or block the arteries of the heart are called:
coronary artery disease.
refers to chest pain that occurs when blood supply to the heart is reduced and a portion of the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen?
Angina pectoris
refers to any condition in which the heart may not be getting enough oxygen?
Acute coronary disease
weakened section of the arterial wall that is ballooning
Aneurism
Beta agonist
Opens air way, during asthma attack or copd
Beta blocker
Reduce blood pressure
Palpitations
Fluttering of the heart
Afebrile
Not fever
Croup
Inflammation of upper air way
Loud cough, hoarse voice, strider, fever
Vascular access
Tube or catheter in blood vessel to draw blood, deliver medicine
chronic bronchitis
bronchiole lining inflamed
excess MUCUS/ronchi
emphysema
aleviole breaks down, lungs lose elasticity, carbon dioxide trapped
the BREATHE OUT/skinnnier
Asthma
bronchi constricts and narrows
hard to exhale
pulmonary edema
fluid in alveoli, blocks gases
PINK SPUTUM, crackles,SOB, overweight
cpap, bvm, o2
Pneumonia
bacteria, virus, fungi
SOB,fever/chills,sick lately, chest pain, sweaty, GREEN/YELLOW SPUTUM
o2 clear airway hospital
Spontaneous pneumothorax
lung collapse out of no where
smokes, tall/skinny, unequal, decreased/absent of lung sounds, SHARP PAIN,JVD, hypotension
ALS, O2, BCM if
Pulmonary embolic
blockage to blood supply, DVT
LAY2LONG, cancer, casting, sharp pain, sob, rolling
O2 Transport
Bronchiolitis
small airways
COLD-like symptoms, progress
BVM if, bulb syringe, O2
Cystic Fibrosis
children, thick MUCUS in bronchi, digestive
coughing, BLOOD if, lung infected, skinny, PNEUMONIA, nausea
O2 transport
Viral Respiratory Infection
upper respiratory infection
fever,chills,cough,sneeze,sore throat, GREEN,YELLOW,COLD SYMPTOMS
O2,
Epiglotitis
inflammation of epiglottis
sick, fever, TROUBLE SWALLOWING, drooling, stridor
O2 NRB hospital
Acute coronary syndrome
blood flow blocked to heart
chest discomfort, neasea, radiate to UPPER JAW, doom, SWEAT, palpitation, pressure
Asprin, maybe nitroglicerin
caronary artery disease
narrowing of artery
angina pectoris
blood vessel narrowed
not enough oxygen,2 much exercise, TEMPORARY DISCOMFORT
O2 rest hospital
Acute myocardial infarction
complete blockage of coronary artery or cause ischemia
NAUSEA, VOMIT, SWEAT
CPR, AED, ALS
Acute pulmonary edema
inefficient blood pump
swelling, JVD, fluid build up in abdomen, crackles
water pill
nitroglycerin
