• caused by loss of elasticity of the lung tissue, from destruction of
structures supporting the alveoli, and destruction of capillaries feeding the
alveoli.:
emphysema
• Chaotic electrical activity originating from many sites in the heart is
called::
Ventricular fibrillation
• DCAP-BTLS =:
deformities, contusions, abrasions, punctures, burns, tender-ness, lacerations,
swelling
• Emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and many undetermined respiratory ill-
nesses are classified as:
