Respiratory Flashcards
normal breathing
eupnea
temporary cessation of breathing
apnea
a larger than normal breath occuring automatically @recurring intervals to counter the collapse of alveoli ; initially deep inspiration
Sigh
exagerated sigh
Yawning
Yawning
reflex if there is an increased need for Oxygen, Boredom, primitive warning sign for lower animals
increase in respiratory rate
Tachypnea/Polypnea
Tachypnea
reflex in origin
increase in rate and depth of respiration; matches increased metabolic demands
hyperpnea
Hyperpnea
Exercise
inc rate and depth of respi exceeding metabolic demand
hyperventilation
hyperventilation
high altitudes
difficulty in breathing, conscious effort for increased reapiration
Dyspnea
Dyspnea
pulmonary congestion in early stages of pneumonia and left heart failure
intense stimulation of respiratory; extremely deep rapid breathing
Kussmaul Respiration
Kussmaul Respiration
metabolic acidosis; H concentration is the most powerful stimulant for respiratory center
dec in rate and depth of respiration
Hypoventilation
Hypoventilation
compensation for metabolic alkalosis
dyspnea in recumbent position
orthopnea
Orthopnea
pulmonary congestion/edema from left heart failure, obesity, and severe pneumonia
regular irregularity; cycles of gradual increase then plateau, then gradual decrease in tidal volumes
Cheyne-Stokes Respiration
Cheyne-Stokes Respiration
bilateral cortical disease, congestive heart failure, sleep @high altitudes
