-ptysis
coughing up, spitting
pulmon/o
lungs
sinus/o
sinus
spir/o
breathing
trache/o
trachea (windpipe)
acute respiratory distress syndrome
lung injury causes fluid buildup in alveoli (tiny air sacs), prevents gas exchange (O2 in, CO2 out) deprives body of oxygen
asthma
disease caused by episodic narrowing and inflammation of airway
atelectasis
collapse or incomplete expansion (of air sacs and airways)
bronchiolitis
inflammation of the smallest airways in the lungs
caseous necrosis
tissue death with cheese-like appearance, characteristic lung lesion of tuberculosis
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
lung disease caused by chronic blockage of small airways
cystic fibrosis
inherited disorder, damages lungs, digestive system other organs
dysphoria
any voice impairment, horseness
dyspnea
shortness of breath, discomfort on inhalation, doest feel like a complete breath
emphysema
alveoli lose elasticity and coalesce, becomes difficult to exhale
empyema
pus inside the chest
epistaxis
nosebleed
sxpectoration
coughing or spitting material out of the lungs
hemoptysis
coughing up blood
hypercapnia
abnormally elevated carbon dioxide level in blood
hypercarbia
abnormally elevated carbon dioxide level in blood
infant respiratory distress syndrome
alveoli (air sacs) fail to expand due to lack of surfactant secretion; common in premature babies (more premature= higher risk
laryngotracheobronchitis
inflammation of the larynx, trachea and bronchi
orthopnea
shortness of breath when lying down, must sleep sitting up
pectus carinatum
protruding sternum, aka pigeon chest
pectus excavatum
sunken in sternum aka sunken chest
pertussis
contagious respiratory disease caused by Bordatella pertussis bacteria aka whopping cough
phrenospasm
hiccup
pleural effusion
fluid in pleural cavity (surrounding lungs)
pleurisy
inflammation of the pleura
pleuritic
inflammation of the pleura
pleuritis
inflammation of the pleura
pneumoconiosis
lung condition caused by inhalation of particulates
pneumonia
lung infection
pulmonary embolism
blockage in a pulmonary artery
rhinoplasty
surgical reconstruction of nose, aka nose job
shortness of breath
dyspnea, discomfort on inhalation, doesn’t feel like complete breath
sleep apnea
breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep
obstructive sleep apnea
soft tissues of pharynx relax/collapse, obstruct airway
central sleep apnea
respiratory control center in brainstem, misses signals to diaphragm
sputum
mucus from deep in lungs
tuberculosis
life-threatening lung disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria
upper respiratory infection
infection of respiratory system above trachea (nasal passages, sinuses)
adenoidectomy
surgical removal of adenoids, often along with tonsils
alveolar macrophage
phagocytic cell in alveoli, part of lung immune defenses
antitussive
drug that prevents coughing
arterial blood gas
measurement of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels of blood
auscultation
listening to heart, lung, or bowel sounds via stethoscope
bi-level positive airway pressure
ventilator to help sleep apnea patients breathe while asleep between inhale pressure and exhale pressure
bronchiodilator
drug that expands diameter of bronchi
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
method to artificially maintain blood flow and airflow after breathing and pulse stop
continuous positive airway pressure
ventilator to help sleep apnea patients breathe while asleep; delivers single continuous (inhale) pressure
endotracheal tube
tube inserted into trachea to maintain open airway, ventilate patient
exhalation
action of breathing out
expiration
action of breathing out
inhalation
action of breathing in
inspiration
action of breathing in
lobectomy
surgical removal of one lobe of the lung
mucolytic
drug that thins/breaks down mucus, makes it easier to cough up
