oxygenation Flashcards
the process of diffusing passively from the alveolus to the pulmonary capillary, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells or dissolves into the plasma
Oxygenation
Insufficient oxygenation is termed
Hypoxemia
inflammation of the nose, mucus traps particles like dust and pollen as well as bacteria and viruses
Rhinitis
allergic rhinitis, caused by different allergens
Hay Fever
clear nasal discharges
Rhinorrhea
infection or irritation of the pharynx or tonsils
Tonsillitis or Pharyngitis
most cases being of viral origin and most bacterial cases attributable to
Group A Streptococci (GAS)
abnormal growth of cells in the body
Neoplasia
Inflammation of the mucous membrane of one or more of the sinuses
Sinusitis
Inflammation of the lung parenchyma
Pneumonia
> 18 per min
Tachypnea
> 100 bpm
Tachycardia
<60 bpm
Bradycardia
pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
PCV13
collection of excess fluids in the pleural space resulting from either systemic or local
Pleural Effusion
distribution of hydrostatic and oncotic pressure across the pleura is altered, so that the rate of pleural fluid formation exceeds that of its reabsorption
Transudative
local processes that lead to increased capillary permeability, resulting in exudation of fluid, protein, cells, and other serum constituents
Exudative
a noninflammatory, lymphocyte-predominant fluid that may cause a pleural effusion as a consequence of thoracic duct leakage into the pleural space
Chyle
noninflammatory collection of serous fluid within the pleural cavities
Hydrothorax
a collection of pus in the cavity between the lung and the membrane that surrounds it
Empyema
rare but serious condition in which lymph formed in the digestive system (chyle) accumulates in your chest cavity
Chylothorax
a collection of blood in the space between the chest wall and the lung
Hemothorax
presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity (ie, the potential space between the visceral
and parietal pleura of the lung), which can impair oxygenation and/or ventilation
Pneumothorax
