wcc resp
wcc resp term 2
| name/function | description |
|---|---|
| respiratory system | pulmonary; breathing; ventilation |
| respiratory function | gas exchange |
| external respiration | gas ex btw alveoli and capillaries |
| internal respiration | gas ex btw the capillaries and tissue |
| Upper resp | between external env and glottis |
| lower resp | glottis to alveoli; neck and thorax |
| palate | roof of mouth; hard palate rostra; soft palate caudal to hard palate |
| epiglottis | small flap of tiss in fron of the opening to trachea |
| larynx | voice box or glottis opening to trachea |
| arytenoid cartilages | landmark for intubation; locat on either side of tracheal open |
| trachea | passageway to the lungs; surrounded by cartilaginous rings |
| Thoracic inlet | where the trachea and bronchi meet and branch; never pass edotracheal tube beyond; ext sternum and first pair of ribs |
| bronchi | air passages into the lungs connects trachea to broncholies |
| bronchioles | smaller passegways into alveoli |
| alveoli | functional part of the lungs |
| Lungs | made up of alveoli and broncholies |
| lung function | gas exchange; body temp; fluid (snzzng; cghng) |
| Left lobes | 2 lobes |
| right lobes | 4 lobes |
| pleura | epithelim lines the thorax and covers the lungs |
| pleura made of | squamous epitherlial tissue |
| p. function | visceral; surronds; parietal lines the thoracic cavity |
| thoracic cavity | contains the lungs heart and bronchi |
| mediastinum | space btwn pleura near the median plan; contains heart; esophagus, trachea aorta and thymus |
| diaphragm | caudal border of the thoracic cavity |
| Internal and external intercostals | rib |
| ventilation | thoracic cavity under neg pressure |
| inspiration | glottis opens and thorax incr, causing air to enter |
| expiration | glottis opens and thorax decr forcing air out |
| sighing/bagging | Prevents collapse (atelectasis) 5-10 unless long procedure or ventral |
| TV | tot vol inspired or expirered during normal resp |
| TV calc | KG * 10-15ml/kg (KG) |
| Vital | tot func capacity |
| Anatomical dead sp | space from the nose to the aveoli |
| physilogical dead sp | anatomical + volume of air in any alveoli that are not being used/not wrkg |
| mechanical dead sp | space from endotracheal tub from mouth until tank |
| dead space | space w/in respiratory sys that contains air that is not involved in gas exch |
| gas exchange | occurs in alveoli;CO2/O2 diffusion |
| hypoventilation | buildup of co2 hypercapnia results in acidosis |
| hyperventilation | exhaling more co2 then normal; hypocapnia; alkalosis |
| chemical stimuli | level of CO2 in bld -> hydrogen ion ->oxygen |
| crackles | intermitten sharp dry snds csd by sudden opening of an airway |
| decr lung snds | absence or muffling; lung consolidation |
| wheezes (rales) | long whistling; air pssg thru narrow airways; asthma |
| stridor | lound raspy snds; upper airway/trachea; partial upper airway obstruction |
| agonal breathing | prior to death |
| Chylothorax | chyle(lymph) in the chest cavity |
| hemothorax | bld in the chest cavity |
| hydrothorax | water in the chest cavity |
| pneumothorax | air in the throax; puncture wound |
| pyothorax | pus in chest cavity |
| atelectasis | lung collaspe |
| cyanosis | bluish mucous memb |
| hypoxia | reduced oxy |
| pneumonia | inflmmation of lungs |
| pulmonary edema | accum of fluid in lungs |
| pleurisy/pleuritis | infammation of the pleura(lining) |
| PExam | ausculation/percussion/radiography/thoracocentesis/transtracheal wash/pulse oximetry |
| epistaxis | nose bleed |
| rhinitis | inflammation of nasal pssge/ bacterial/viral/fungal/parasites/mechnaical/allegic |
| sinitus; Dz | running nose; swollen face; runny eyes |
| pharryngeal disorders | paralysis; pharyngitis (strep (strangels) |
| laryngeal disorders | spasm/stenosis (laryns scars)paralysis/laryngitis/de-barking |
| tracheal disorders | tracheitis/stenosis (ex inflation of tube cuff); collapse (toy breeds) |
| neoplasia | tumors |
| pneumothorax | sucking chest wound |
| pleural infusion | blood/pus/fluid/lymphy (chyl) |
| flail chest | trauma (HBC) |
| COPD | chronic obstructive pulmonary dz |
| COPD dz | inflammation of lung tiss/results in scarring heaves |
| emphyseama | inelasticity of lungs due to scarring and chronic inflamm air is trapped in lungs |
| pneumonia | alveioli become flooded with liq and cellular debris |
| Pulmonary edema | accum of tiss fluid in the air sacs (alveoli) CHF/Electrocution/smoke inhal/heat stroke/anaphylaxis |
| pulmonary thromboembolism | blood clots lead to tissue necrosis |
| Infect Dz | Viral/baterial/fungal/parasites |
| influenza | viral |
| coccidiomycosis | vally fever/fungal |
| Shpping fever | bovine respiratory dz/bacteria/pasteurella |
| neoplasia dz | pulmonary adenocarcinoma |
| expertorants | control excrec/thing mucus |
| mucolyhtics | break down mucus |
| antimicrobials | antibacterial/fungal/protozoal |
| anti-inflammators | reduce inflammation |
| cough suppressors; central acting | butorphanol tartrate/torbugesic; hydorcodone bitartrate/codeine; dextromethorphan/ robitussion |
| cough supp; local | demulcents; benzocain/cetocain |
| anticholinergics | brochodilators; atropine, glycopyrrolate |
| antihistamines | brochodilators; benadryl/diphenhydramin; sudaphed/chlorpheniramine; tavist/clemastine |
