Which condition is associated with severe chest pain and superficial breathing?
Acute respiratory conditions
What is the normal respiratory rate for adults?
14-18 respirations per minute
What is the main cause of dispnoea?
Alterations of the nervous coordination of respiration
What is the term for the conscious perception of difficult respiration?
Dyspnoea
Match the following respiratory system symptoms with their definitions:
Respiratory dispnoea = Conscious perception of difficult respiration, "air thirst" Respiratory rhythm dispnoea = Dispnoea with tachypnoea or bradypnoea Cough = Act of forcibly expelling air from the lungs Chest pain of respiratory origin = Severe pain associated with superficial breathing
Match the following terms related to dispnoea with their correct descriptions:
Subjective component = Not measurable aspect of dispnoea Objective component = Measurable aspect of dispnoea, such as rhythm, rate, amplitude of breath movements Tachypnoea = Rapid breathing, with more than 14-18 respirations per minute Inspiratory bradypnoea = Dispnoea with slow inhalation
Match the following conditions with their associated respiratory system symptoms:
Acute conditions of the respiratory system = Dispnoea with tachypnoea Airway obstruction by heterodense material = Dispnoea with inspiratory bradypnoea Cardiovascular conditions = Very similar to dyspnoea Alterations of lungs, pleura, respiratory muscles, rib cage = Causes of dispnoea
Match the following terms with their correct definitions:
Tidal volume = The amount of air inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing Total respiratory capacity = The maximum amount of air a person can inhale and exhale Dispnoea = The conscious perception of difficult respiration Foreign material = Airway obstruction that can cause dispnoea
Match the following symptoms with their associated conditions:
Severe chest pain = Respiratory dispnoea Rapid breathing = Dispnoea with tachypnoea Slow inhalation = Dispnoea with inspiratory bradypnoea Alterations of lungs, pleura, respiratory muscles, rib cage = Causes of dispnoea
