<LATEST VERSION>
1. atelectasis - ANSWER ✔ complete or partial collapse of the lung
alveoli within the lung deflate or poorly filled with fluid
most common after surgery due to anesthesia
2. Pulmonary embolism - ANSWER ✔ Blocking of a pulmonary artery due to
a blood clot
DVT is a risk for PE
Manifestations: SOB, hypoxia, hemoptysis, pleuritic CP, and elevated rr
Treatment: thrombolytics, anticoag w heparin, coumadin, O2
Diagnosis: only tells that theres a clot, not location
lower extremity ultrasound and CT angiogram
3. Emphysema - ANSWER ✔ a condition in which the air sacs of the lungs are
damaged and enlarged, causing breathlessness.
Signs:
dyspnea on exertion, late dyspnea at rest
tachy
prolonged expiration
, barrel chet
purse lips
4. chronic bronchitis - ANSWER ✔ irritation of airways
major and small
increased number of mucous cells
mucus hypersecretion
Mostly men, productive cough, present for years and gets worse
diagnosis requires history of chronic cough thats lasted for at least three
months for two years
5. pneumonia - ANSWER ✔ inflammation of the lung structures
bacteria and virus
fever, cough, chillls, SOB, chest pain, fatigue
diag- chest x-ray and leukocytosis
community acquired or HAI
treated via o2, fluids, antipyretics and antibiotics
6. Asthma - ANSWER ✔ reversible airway obstruction
exposure to allergens
wheeze, SOB, chest tightness
DIAG- PTFS
Treat- sympathomimetics- bronchodilators
corticosteroids
mast cell inhibitors
reduce exposures
, o2
7. COPD - ANSWER ✔ treatable, not reversible
chronic obstruction of airways
loss of alveolar tissue and lung fibers
8. Epicardium - ANSWER ✔ Outermost heart layer, protects and nourishes
myocardium.
9. Pericardial Sac - ANSWER ✔ Epicardium and parietal layer of serous
pericardium.
10.Myocardium - ANSWER ✔ Thick middle heart layer with cardiac muscle
tissue.
11.Endocardium - ANSWER ✔ Thin endothelial layer lining heart muscle.
12.Cardiac Conducting Cells - ANSWER ✔ Cells coordinating heart
contractions.
13.Cardiac Circulation - ANSWER ✔ Heart's blood pumping to the body.
14.Cardiopulmonary Circulation - ANSWER ✔ Heart and lungs working
together for blood flow.
, 15.Systemic Circulation - ANSWER ✔ Blood circulation throughout the body
excluding lungs.
16.Systemic Pressure - ANSWER ✔ Higher pressure due to greater distance
and resistance.
17.Arterial Flow - ANSWER ✔ Blood moving away from the heart.
18.Ventricular Systole - ANSWER ✔ Phase when blood pressure is highest in
arteries.
19.Ventricular Diastole - ANSWER ✔ Phase when blood pressure is lowest in
arteries.
20.Venous Return - ANSWER ✔ Blood flow back to the heart from tissues.
21.Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) - ANSWER ✔ MAP = CO x SVR.
22.Cardiac Output (CO) - ANSWER ✔ CO = HR x SV.
23.Heart Rate - ANSWER ✔ Autonomic control, innervates SA node.
24.Sympathetic Nervous System - ANSWER ✔ Increases heart rate via beta-1
adrenergic receptors.
