| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| basic steps for CPR | A airway opened by tilting head, B breathing restored by mouth-to-mouth beathing, C circulation restored by external cardiac compressions |
| expiratory reserve | maximal volume of gass that can be exhaled after resting colume exhalation |
| forced vital capacity | amount of gas that can be forcibly & rapidly exhaled after a full inspiration |
| hand-held nebulizer | device for administering aerosolized drug, in a fine spray |
| bicarbonate | measured in blood to determine alkalinity/acidity |
| inspiratory reserve volume | maximum volume of gass that can be inhaled beyond normal resting inspiration |
| metered-dose inhaler | used to deliver aeroslized medication to patients with respiratory disease |
| carbon dioxide partial pressure | a measure of the amount of CO2 in arterial blood |
| oxygen partial pressure | a measure of the amount of O2 in arterial blood |
| positive expiratory pressure | mechanicla ventilator strategy in which patient takes a deep breath & then exhales through a device that resists air flow |
| helps to refill underventilated areas of the lung | positive expiratory pressure |
| positive-end expiratory pressure | common mechanical ventilator setting in which airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric pressure |
| purified protein derivative | substance used in a TB test |
| residual volume | amount of air remaining at the end of maximal expiration |
| transbronchial needle aspiration | used for biopsy of a lesion |
| total lung capacity | volume of gas in lungs at the end of miximal inspiration; equals VC plus RV |
| tidal volume | amount of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal ventilation |
| video-assisted thoracic surgery | thoracoscopy or thorascopy |
| vital capacity | equals inspiratory reserve volume plus expiratory reserve volume plus tidal volume |
| ventilation-perfusion scan | radioactive test of lung ventilation & blood perfusion throughout the lung capillaries; lung scan |
| widely used to detect lung cancer | xrays, CT scans & MRI |
| when diagnosing lung cancer a thoracotomy is used to | idenify the malignant cells |
| when diagnosing lung cancer a mediastinoscopy evaluates | the spread & severity of the disease |
| when diagnosing lung cancer a thorascopy involves | making a small incision in chest and inserting an endoscope into chest cavity to examine the area involved |
