| chronic bronchitis | obstructive pulmonary disease characterized by excessive production of mucus and chronic inflammaroty changes in the bronchi
🗑
|
||||
| chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) | pulmonary disease state characterized by the presence of airflow obstruction caused by chronic bronchitis or emphysema; clinical use of the term indicates the presence of chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema

| hypercapnia | high arterial CO2 pressure (PaCO2>45mm Hg); also called hypocarbia
🗑
|
||||
| hyperresponsiveness | excessive or exaggerated response to a stimulus; in asthma, leads to bronchoconstriction in response to physical, chemical, or pharmacologic stimuli
🗑

| hypocapnia | low arterial CO2 pressure (PaCO2 35-45mm Hg)
🗑
|
||||
| metered-dose inhaler | areosolized drug delivered in a specific amount by activating the inhaler or by inhaling
🗑
|
||||
| normocapnia | normal arterial CO2 pressure (PaCO2 35-45 mm Hg)
🗑
