Study Notes

Medical Terminology (4) - Diagnosis and Intervention

Normal range is the acceptable limit for a measurement, for example hemoglobin is 14-16 gm/dL.
Pathologic refers to a condition involving a disease process.
Diagnosis is the process of naming a disease or condition.
Prognosis is the predicted outcome of a disease or medical condition.

Basic Examination Procedures - Vital Signs

Vital signs are clinical measurements that indicate the function of an individual.
Basic vital signs include pulse, respiration, temperature, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and pain.

Vital Sign (1) - Pulse, Respiration, Temperature

Pulse is the number of heart beats per minute.
Respiration is measured by counting the rise and fall of the chest during breathing.
Temperature is the balance between heat lost and heat gained.
- Measurement: thermometer
- Units: therm/o = heat, -meter = instrument used to measure
- Routes: oral, axilla (armpit), rectal.

Vital Sign (2) - Oxygen Saturation, Blood Pressure

Oxygen saturation refers to the measurement of the concentration of oxygen.
- Measurement: pulse oximeter.
Blood pressure (B.P) refers to the amount of pressure exerted on the walls of the blood vessels.
- Measurement unit: millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).
- Components:
  - Systolic: maximum arterial pressure (during contraction).
  - Diastolic: pressure during relaxation.

Four Techniques in Physical Examination

Physical examination involves collecting information using the senses (sight, hearing, and touch).
Inspection: Observing using sight
- Skill: Using eyes to observe details, such as skin colour.
Palpation: Feeling using touch
- Skill: Using hands to assess size, consistency, and location of body parts, e.g., feeling for lumps.
Percussion: Tapping to assess sounds
- Skill: Using fingertips to tap and listen for sounds to assess size, borders, and consistency of body organs.
Auscultation: Listening using a stethoscope
- Skill: Using a stethoscope to listen for sounds within the body, e.g., listening for breath sounds.

Diagnostic tests and procedures

-gram: a record (e.g., electrocardiogram)
-graph: instrument for recording (e.g., radiograph)
-graphy: process of recording (e.g., radiography).
- Examples
  - Electrocardiogram
  - Radiograph (X-ray image)
  - Radiography (technique of X-rays)

Diagnostic tests and procedures (continued)

-meter: instrument used for measurement (e.g., thermometer)
-metry: process of measuring (e.g., optometry, spirometry)
-scope: instrument used for visual examination (e.g., endoscope)
-scopy: visual examination with a lighted instrument (e.g., endoscopy)
- Endoscopy: visual examination inside the body using a lighted instrument (endoscope); common medical procedure.

Diagnostic Radiology

Ech/o: sound.
- Example: echocardiogram
Son/o: sound.
- Example: sonography
Electr/o: electricity
- Example: electroconvulsive therapy.
Radi/o: radiant energy
- Example: radiography.
Tom/o: to cut
- Example: tomography.
Ultra-: excessive
- Example: ultrasound

Body Fluids

-crine: to secrete
- Example: endocrine
Lacrim/o: tear/ cry
- Example: lacrimation
-emia: condition in the blood
- Example: anemia
Hemlo: blood
- Example: hemoglobin
Lymph/o: lymph
- Example: lymphatic vessels

Body Fluids (continued)

Muco-: mucous
- Example: mucolytic
poiesis: production
- Example: erythropoiesis
-poietin: substance that causes production
- Example: erythropoietin
Py/o: pus
- Example: pyorrhea
Sial/o: saliva
- Example: sialography
Ur/o: urine
- Example: urinary
