Study Notes
Medication Classifications
- Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is classified as an antiviral medication.
- Montelukast (Singulair) is classified as a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
- Hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide, Oretic) is classified as a diuretic.
- Atenolol (Tenormin) is classified as a beta blocker.
- Losartan (Cozaar) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist.
- Metoprolol (Lopressor) is classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.
- Tiotropium (Spiriva Handihaler) is classified as a bronchodilator.
Respiratory Conditions and Treatments
- Expectants are medications that thin bronchial secretions to facilitate mucus expulsion.
- Antitussives inhibit the cough center in the brain.
- Rhinorrhea refers to excessive nasal drainage.
- Influenza is an acute infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by a virus.
- Pharyngitis is the inflammation of the throat.
- Hyperventilation is characterized by abnormally rapid breathing.
Cardiac Conditions
- Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) occurs when the ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth.
- Secondary hypertension is hypertension that is a result of another disease.
- Myocardial infarction (MI) is another term for a heart attack.
Cardiovascular Anatomy and Procedures
- The atrio-ventricular bundle is also known as the Bundle of His.
- Arterial blood gas (ABG) testing measures pH, carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen (O2) content in arterial blood.
- The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
- The vena cava is the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
- Bronchoscopy involves inserting an instrument through the mouth to visualize the trachea and bronchi.
Development and Physiological Changes
- As children grow, their heart rate decreases, while blood pressure increases due to increased resistance for blood flow.
- During pregnancy, cardiac output is incorrectly stated to decrease; it actually increases, while extracellular fluid volume also increases.
Other Relevant Terms
- Epistaxis is the medical term for a nosebleed.
- A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a hole in the wall between the heart's lower chambers.
- Surfactant coats the alveoli to prevent collapse.
- Coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
- A sweat test is used to diagnose cystic fibrosis.
- Cardiomyopathy refers to a progressive disorder affecting the heart muscles.
Anatomical Structures
- The structure separating the nostrils is called the septum.
- The inner lining of the heart is known as the endocardium.
