chp8 diseases n procedures

infection and inflammation of bronchial airways

acute, life-threatening condition of lung injury that develops secondary to some other lung trauma or disorder

inflammation of the nasal membranes, caused by allergies

respiratory disease caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of ________ fibers

disease marked by episodic narrowing and inflammation of the airways, resulting in wheezing, SOB, and cough

partial collapse of the alveoli and tiny airways of the lung

a skill often taught in first-aid courses that helps restore a victims breathing and circulation

group of diseases in which alveolar air sacs are destroyed and chronic, severe SOB results

respiratory disease caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of coal dust;
aka black lung/ anthracosis

acute inflammation of the nasal mucosa;the common cold

abnormal crackly lung sound-like the sound of rice-krispies--heard with a stethoscope, caused by air passing over retained secretions or by the sudden opening of collapsed airways

acute viral disease, usually in children, marked by a barking, "seal-like" cough and respiratory distress

fatal genetic disease that causes frequent respiratory infections, increased airway secretions, and COPD in children

condition in which the nasal septum is displaced to the side, causing the two nares (nasal passages) to be unequal

disorder marked by abnormal increase in the size of air spaces distal to th terminal bronchiole and destruction of the alveolar walls, resulting in loss of normal elasticity and in progressive dyspnea

collection of infected fluid (pus) between the two pleural membranes that line the lungs

episode of bleeding from the nose; aka nosebleed

coughing up blood from the respiratory tract

condition in which blood or bloody fluid has collected within the intrapleural space, causing lung compression and respiratory distress

systemic respiratory disease caused by histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus found in soil contaminated with bird droppings

chronic retention of CO₂ causing symptoms of mental cloudiness and lethargy

common, contagious, acute viral respiratory illness; aka flu

condition of inflammation of the larynx, evidenced by a temporary hoarseness or loss of the voice

bacterial lung infection caused by the bacterium _______ pneumophila

rounded tissue growths on the nasal or sinal mucosa

dysfunctional breathing that occurs when the upper airway is intermittently blocked during sleep

labored breathing that occurs when lying flat and improves when sitting up

inflammation of the pharynx; sore throat

excess collection of fluid in the intrapleural space

condition in which the pleurae become inflamed, causing sharp inspiratory chest pain; aka pleuritis

any disease of the respiratory tract caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of dust particles

bacterial or viral infection of the lungs

condition in which air collects in the intrapleural space, categorized as open, closed, spontaneous, or tension, and commonly called collapsed lung

sudden obstruction of a pulmonary blood vessel by debris, blood clots, or other matter

contagious infection caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis organism, primarily affecting the lungs but sometimes also spreading to and affecting other organ systems

coarse, gurgling sound heard in the lungs witha stethoscope, caused by secretions in the air passages

respiratory disease caused by chronic or repetitive inhalation of silica (quartz) dust

inflammation of the lining of the sinus cavaties

high-pitched upper-airway sound heard without a stethoscope, indicating airway obstruction; a medical emergency

infection and inflammation of upper-airway structures, usually caused by a virus; aka common cold

somewhat musical sound heard in the lungs, usually with a stethoscope, caused by a partial airway obstruction (such as with asthma)

measurement of O₂ and CO₂ levels and acid-base balance (pH balance) in arterial blood

visual examination of the airways of the lungs

radiological picture of the lungs

intradermal injection of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) just beneath the surface of the skin to identify whether the patient has been exposed to tuberculosis

handheld device used to deliver medication to the patients lower airways

device that produces a fine spray or mist to deliver medication to a patients deep airways

infusion of a sterile, irritating substance into the pleural space causing the pleural linings to fuse to one another by developing scar tissue

placement of the patient in various positions that facilitate drainage of secretions from the lungs, often done along with chest physiotherapy (CPT)

radiographic examination of pumonary circulation after injection of a contrast dye

group of tests that provide information regarding lung capacity; aka spirometry

indirect measurement of arterial-blood O₂ saturation level, aka Spo₂ ; the normal level in a person with healthy lungs is 97% to 99%

examination of mucus or fluid coughed up from the lungs

surgical puncture of the chest wall to remove fluid from the interpleural space; aka pleurocentesis

measurement of the volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inspiration
