    Study Notes

    Respiratory Conditions and Disorders

    • Anoxia: Absence of oxygen in tissues despite adequate blood flow.
    • Anthracosis: Lung disease from coal dust inhalation, also known as black lung.
    • Aphonia: Loss of normal speech sounds due to laryngeal dysfunction.
    • Apnea: Absence of spontaneous respiration, can indicate serious health issues.
    • Asbestosis: Lung disease caused by asbestos exposure, common in workers handling asbestos.
    • Asphyxia: Loss of consciousness from inadequate oxygen; causes include choking, suffocation, and gas inhalation.
    • Aspiration pneumonia: Results from inhaling foreign substances like vomit into the lungs.
    • Asthma: Chronic allergic condition causing breathing difficulties, wheezing, and coughing.
    • Atelectasis: Collapsed lung due to blockage of air passages or pneumothorax.
    • Bradypnea: Abnormally slow breathing rate, under 10 breaths per minute.
    • Bronchiectasis: Permanent dilation of bronchi due to chronic infection/inflammation.

    Respiratory Treatments and Procedures

    • Bronchodilator: Medication that relaxes and expands bronchial passages.
    • Bronchorrhea: Excessive mucus discharge from bronchi.
    • Bronchoscopy: Visual examination of bronchi using a bronchoscope.
    • Bronchospasm: Contraction of smooth muscle in bronchi, causing airway constriction.

    Breathing Patterns and Symptoms

    • Cheyne-Stokes respiration: Irregular breathing pattern alternating between rapid and slow breaths, often seen in comatose patients.
    • Chronic bronchitis: Long-term inflammation of airways from recurrent irritant exposure, commonly from smoking.
    • Croup: Acute respiratory infection in children causing barking cough and stridor due to laryngeal obstruction.

    Additional Respiratory Conditions

    • Cyanosis: Bluish skin and mucous membranes indicating low oxygen levels in blood.
    • Cystic fibrosis: Life-threatening genetic disorder causing thick mucus build-up in lungs and pancreas.
    • Dysphonia: Difficulty in speaking, including issues like hoarseness and voice changes.
    • Dyspnea: Shortness of breath; a symptom of breathing difficulty.
    • Emphysema: Progressive lung function loss, primarily due to smoking.
    • Empyema: Accumulation of pus in a body cavity, often due to infection.
    • Epistaxis: Nosebleed caused by various factors such as dry air or injury.
    • Hemoptysis: Blood or blood-stained sputum from lungs or bronchial tubes.
    • Hemothorax: Presence of blood in the chest cavity.
    • Hypercapnia: Abnormal carbon dioxide build-up in the blood.
    • Hyperpnea: Deeper and more rapid breathing than normal, often linked to exertion.
    • Hyperventilation: Rapid, deep breathing often associated with anxiety.
    • Hypopnea: Reduced depth and rate of breathing.
