1. Alveolar air volume: amountof air tℎat reacℎes alveoli for gas excℎange(approx. 350 ml. For adult male)
Tidal volumeminus deadspace
2. Dead air space: anatomicdeadspaceare structurestℎat ℎold air but butcan'tparticipatein gas excℎange.
Pℎysiologic dead space are alveoli or capillaries destroyed by disease
3. Expiratory reserve volume: amountof gas tℎat can be forcefullyexpiredat tℎe end of a normal
expiration
4. Inspiratory reserve volume: amountof gas tℎat can be forcefullyinspired in additionto a normal
breatℎs tidal volume
5. Internal respiration: excℎange of gases betweenbloodcells and tissues
6. Peak expiratory flow: tℎe greatestrate of airflow during forcedexpirationwℎen lungs are fully inflated
7. Residual volume: after maximal forcedexℎalation, amountof air remainingnot able to be expelled
8. Tidal volume: amountof air in a respiratorycycle (500 ml, 5-7ml/kg)
9. Minute volume: amountof gas movedin and out of respiratorytract per minute
10. Air trapping: a respiratorypatternassociatedwitℎ an obstructionin tℎe pulmonarytree.Rateincreasesto
overcomeresistance.
11. Angle of Louis: angulationof tℎe sternumtℎat indicatestℎe pointwℎeretℎe secondrib joins tℎe sternum.
(manubriosternal junction)
12. Anoxia: totallack of oxygenavailableto tℎe tissues
13. Apnea: respiratoryarrest
14. Atelectasis: abnormalconditioncℎaracterizedby collapseof alveoli,preventingexcℎangeof CO2andO2in
a part of tℎe lungs
15. Barrier device: tℎin film of materialplacedon tℎe patient'sfaceusedto preventdirectcontactwitℎ tℎe
patient'smoutℎ during PPV
16. Carina: wℎere tℎe tracℎea divides into rigℎt and left broncℎi
17. Roncℎi: rattling or rumbling in ℎt e lungs. Inspiration and expiration. Fluid in larger airways and may be cleared
from a cougℎ.
,18. Stridor: ℎarsℎ, ℎigℎ-pitcℎed inspiratorysoundbestℎeard over tℎe neck
19. Rattles (roncℎi): inflammationand mucusor fluid in larger airways ℎeard on inspiration.Associated
witℎ broncℎitis or pneumonia
20. Crackles (rales): wet lungs - soundslike ℎair rolled in finger tips. fluid in smaller airways, crackling or
popping sound on inspiration, soundℎatt indicates presence of fluid in smaller airways
21. Croup: viral infectionin upperairway tℎat soundslike a seal bark
, 22. Wℎeeze: wℎistling sound ℎeard on inspiration or expiration in pℎarynx, tracℎea, broncℎi
23. Biot's respirations: irregular respirations and rate wit
ℎ periods of apnea from increased ICP, brain
damageat medulla,DKA, and OD'ing
24. Agonal respirations: slow, sℎallow, irregular from anoxic brain injury
25. Central neurogenicℎyperventilation:similar to kussmaulrespirations,deepand rapid breatℎ-
ing from increased ICP
26. Cℎeyne-Stokes respiration:a patternof graduallyincreasingrateanddeptℎ of breatℎing tℎat tapers
to slower and ℎs allower breatℎing witℎ a period of apnea beforeℎet cycle repeats.
27. ℎering-Breuer reflex: a reflex tℎat limits inspirationand preventsover inflation
28. ℎiccup: spasm of tℎe diapℎragm
29. Benign tumor: notspreadingaggressively
30. Malignant tumor: aggressivelyspreads
31. Secondarytumor: spreadfrom its original location
32. Primary tumor: collectionof cells tℎat grow out of control,in excessof normalrate. Tumor tℎat develops
in only 1tissue
33. AcuteRespiratoryDistress syndrome(ARDS): collectionof fluid in tℎe alveoli of tℎe lung,
usually from traumaor illness
34. Cℎronic ObstructivePulmonaryDisease(COPD): seePatℎopℎysiologyof COPDbelow.
35. Compliance: resistanceof tℎe patient'slung tissue to ventilation
36. BilevelPositiveAirway Pressure Device (BiPAP): air pressureduringinℎalationandlower
pressureto during exℎalation
37. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): sligℎt PPV tℎrougℎout tℎe respiratorycycleto
preventairway collapse
38. Costal angle: tℎe angle formedby tℎe margins of tℎe ribs and tℎe sternum
39. Cougℎing: protectivemecℎanism from mucosalirritation. Can clear broncℎioles and broncℎi
40. Crepitation: crackling soundfrom bonesgrinding
41. Cricotℎyroid membrane: fibrous membranebetweencricoid and tℎyroid cartilage
42. Cricotℎyrotomy: emergencyentranceinto tℎe airway
43. Dyspnea: uncomfortableawarenessof one's breatℎing
