CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND
ASSESSMENT OF RESPIRATORY DISEASE
EXAMINATION TEST COMPLETE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
●● Core Temperature
Answer: 37C or 98.6 F
●● Hyperventilation
Answer: losing CO2
●● hypoventilation
Answer: gaining CO2
●● pulsus paradoxus
Answer: usually occurs with severe asthma attack!!
- systolic blood pressure that is >10 mmhg lower on inspiration than on
expiration.
B/P decreases during inspiration
B/P increases during expiration
●● diaphragmatic excursion
, Answer: should be equal and bilateral and measure 4-8 cm in the adult
-severe emphysema, bronchitis, asthma
●● compliance
Answer: is the ease which the elastic forces of the lungs accept a volume
of inspired air. (change in vol (L)/ change in pressure (cmH20)
●● resistance
Answer: is defined as the pressure difference between the mouth and the
alveoli which is the trans- airway pressure (change in pressure (cmH20)/
flow rate ( L/sec)
●● Thormbus
Answer: blood clot resulting in tissue death; stays still.
●● Embolis
Answer: moving clot
●● hypothermia
Answer: is a core temperature below normal range.
●● clinical signs of hypothermia
Answer: -below normal body temperature
