Resp Terms for CTS
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Pulses Paradoxes | |
| Biot's / Ataxic Respirations | Irregular pattern, rate, and depth of respirations with intermittent periods of apnea; result from increased intracranial pressure. |
| Hypo / Hyper Resonance | |
| Beck's Triad ( Pericardial tamponade) | |
| Jugular vein distention in pericardial tamponade | |
| Neuromuscular diseases | |
| Goblet Cells affect chronic bronchitis | |
| Tx for hyperventilation | |
| Cheyne-Stokes breathing | gradually increasing rate and depth of respirations followed by a gradual decrease with intermittent periods of apnea; associated with brainstem insult |
| Positioning oxygen cylinders for safe storage | |
| Myocardial Contusion | |
| Commotio Cordis | often-fatal cardiac dysrhythmia is produced by a sudden blow to the thoracic cavity. |
| Pneumothorax | |
| Simple pneumothorax | |
| Open pneumothorax | |
| Pericardial tamponade | |
| Hemothorax / Pneuomothorax | |
| Myocardial Rupture | |
| Traumatic Asphyxia | A pattern of injuries seen after a severe force is applied to the thorax, forcing blood from the great vessels and back into the head and neck. |
| Pulmonary Contusion | |
| High Thoracic rupture | |
| Hypoemia | |
| Crepitus | grating, grinding, or crackling sensation made when two pieces of broken bone rub together |
| Oxygenation | |
| Ventiliation | |
| Cardiac Output [CO] | amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute; calculated by multiplying the stroke volume by the pulse rate per minute. |
| Decorticate [Flexor] Posturing | Abnormal posture of the arms and legs, in which the arms are flexed toward the chest the toes are pointed; this finding indicates lower cerebral damage. |
| Pulsus alternans | |
| Hypoxic Drive | Oxygen level too low |
| Ascites | Fluid build up in Abdomen (peritoneal cavity) [HR above normal] |
| Clubbing | swelling of tips of fingers/toes found in COPD patients |
| Scaphoid | concave shape of abdomen (hollow) |
| Adventitious Breath Sounds | Abnormal breath sounds ([WCRS] wheezing, rhonchi ,crackles, stridor, pleural friction rubs) |
| Atelectasis | Alveolar collapse that prevents use of that portion of the lungs to work [ no surfactant] |
| Trismus | Lock jaw/clenched teeth [contraction of mouth during seizures/head injuries] |
| Hyperthermia/Hypothermia | |
| Laryngospasm | |
| Hypoventilation | |

| Intrapulmonary shunting | |
| Anoxia | absence of oxygen. |
| Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors | |
| Phrenic Nerve | |
| Phosphodiesterase | |
| Hering-Breuer reflex | |
| Hemoptysis | |
| Pulmonary Shunt | |
| Alveolar Capillary Membrane | Site of gas exchange |
| Cyanosis | Blue tinge resulted in Hypoxemia [ Low O in blood]. Seen under lips, nailbeds, around mouth |
