Unit 2: Chapter 41

Question 1

Acute Coronary Syndrome

Answer 1

AKA Myocardial Infarction; sudden decrease in coronary blood flow

Question 2

Afterload

Answer 2

resistance to the ejection of blood from the left ventricle

Question 3

Angina Pectoris

Answer 3

transient imbalance between myocardial oxygen supply and demand

Question 4

Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPaP)

Answer 4

works by providing assistance during inspiration and preventing alveolar closure during expiration

Question 5

Capnography

Answer 5

AKA end-tidal CO2 monitoring; provieds instant info about patients ventilation, perfusion, and how effective CO2 is produced

Question 6

Cardiac Output

Answer 6

Blood ejected from the left ventricle

Question 7

Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation

Answer 7

Patients achieve and maintain an optimal level of health through controlled physical exercise, nutritional counseling, relaxation and stress management techniques

Question 8

Chest tube

Answer 8

catheter inserted through the rib cage into the pleural space to remove air, fluids, or blood

Question 9

Cheyne-Stokes respiration

Answer 9

dec. blood flow or injure to the brainstem; breathing appears with patterns of apnea followed by deep breathing and then shallowing breathing

Question 10

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

Answer 10

maintains a stream of pressure throughout a patients breathing cycle

Question 11

Diffusion

Answer 11

responsible for moving the respiratory gases from one area of concentration to another

Question 12

Ventilation

Answer 12

process of moving gas in and out of lungs

Question 13

Perfusion

Answer 13

body’s ability to pump oxygenated blood through body and return deoxygenated blood to the lungs

Question 14

Hematemesis

Answer 14

vomiting of blood

Question 15

Hemoptysis

Answer 15

coughing up blood

Question 16

hemothorax

Answer 16

Accumulation of blood and fluid in the pleural space

Question 17

hypovolemia

Answer 17

reduced circulating blood volume

Question 18

Hypoxia

Answer 18

inadequate tissue oxygenation

Question 19

Kussmaul Respiration

Answer 19

fast, deep breaths as a response to metabolic acidosis

Question 20

Pneumothorax

Answer 20

Air in the pleural space

Question 21

Preload

Answer 21

amount of blood in left ventricle before next contraction

Question 22

Stroke Volume

Answer 22

volume of blood ejected from ventricles during systole
