Lesson 3 Flashcards
complete failure of the tissues to get adequate supply of oxygen
anoxia
reduce supply of oxygen, and is the more appropriate term for the usual condition accompanying respiratory disorder.
hypoxia
defective oxygenation of blood in the pulmonary circuit and is usually caused by a primary disease of the respiratory tract
anoxic hypoxia
deficiency of haemoglobin per unit volume of blood but the blood oxygen tension is normal
anemic hypoxia
Caused by a reduction of the rate of blood flow to and from the capillaries
stagnant hypoxia
Result from the failure of the tissue oxidation system in the presence of fully oxygenated blood
histotoxic anoxia
depth and rate of respiratory movement increase
hyperpnoea
increase number of RBC
polycythemia
retention of excessive carbon dioxide in the body
hyper apnea
bluish discoloration of skin and mucous membrane
cyanosis
nose bleeding clinical term
epistaxis
surgery required for obstruction of upper respiratory tract
tracheotomy
useful only in cases of anoxia and when the respiratory tract is not completely obstructed
oxygen therapy
oxygen therapy are not adopted in large animals but rather in
small animals
instituted by intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) during open thoracic surgery or paralysis with a muscle relaxant drugs or poisons
atrificial respiration
may be needed in certain instances such as during an overdose of certain anesthetic
Administration of central respiratory stimulants
examples of central respiratory stimulants
pierotoxin, metrazole, nikethamide, caffeine, amphetamine, and yohembine
a condition of hypoxia combined with hypercapnia
asphyxia
drugs that increase the volume and fluidity of secretions in the respiratory tract
expectorants
examples of Directly acting expectorants
eucalyptus, pine oil, camphor, lemon oil, potassium iodide
examples of indirectly-acting expectorants
ammonium carbonate, ammonium chloride, potassium iodide, potassium citrate, guaifenesin
may be administered orally or by inhalation in the form of aerosol
directly acting expectorants
administered orally, cause irritation of the nerve endings in the stomach and thereby provoke a mild vomiting reflex
indirectly acting expectorant
