Study Notes
Imaging Procedures and Tests
- Imaging procedures to evaluate airflow and blood flow in the lungs include tests for detecting blood clots.
- Pulmonary function studies help diagnose lung malignancies.
- Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) test measures dissolved O2 and CO2 in arteries.
- Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) combines angiography with CT to visualize pulmonary arteries.
Medical Terminology
- spir/o refers to breathe.
- Atel/o means incomplete.
- Pneum/o or pneumon/o translates to air or lung.
- -capnia is a suffix related to CO2 levels, influencing the term hypercapnia for excessive carbon dioxide.
Respiratory Conditions and Symptoms
- Emphysema is characterized by the inability of alveoli to contract due to loss of elasticity.
- Stridor is a high-pitched breath sound resulting from laryngeal spasms or obstructions.
- Cyanosis indicates a bluish color of tissues due to reduced oxygen levels.
Procedures and Techniques
- Spirometry evaluates lung's capacity to intake and expel air.
- Endotracheal Intubation involves creating a surgical opening in the neck for breathing tube insertion.
- Thoracocentesis is a surgical puncture to access the pleural cavity.
- Aerosol therapy is a method for delivering medication directly to the lungs.
Diagnostic Evaluations
- Mantoux test is used to determine tuberculin sensitivity.
- Polysomnography assesses sleep disorders, including sleepwalking tendencies.
- Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) measure lung capacity and gas exchange efficiency.
Respiratory Sounds and Signs
- Crackle/rale refers to an abnormal respiratory sound during auscultation.
- Epistaxis means nasal hemorrhage or a nosebleed.
- Hemoptysis indicates spitting blood associated with respiratory conditions.
Anatomy and Locations
- Mediastinum is the space in the chest between the lungs containing heart and major vessels.
- The parietal pleura is the lining of the thoracic cavity.
- Adenoids are located within the nasopharynx.
Physiology Terms
- Tachypnea describes rapid breathing.
- Postural drainage positions patients for better secretions discharge from bronchi.
- Percussion involves tapping the chest to assess underlying structures.
Health Conditions
- Reye syndrome is associated with aspirin use during viral infections.
- Pneumoconiosis is an occupational disorder typically caused by inhaling dust particles.
- Granulomas are small pockets forming focal lesions, often seen in specific diseases.
Other Relevant Terms
- Laryngoplegia refers to paralysis of the larynx.
- Rhinorrhea indicates discharge from the nose.
- Type A influenza is associated with worldwide epidemics.
