| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| allergy | a sensitivity to a substance that causes the body to react with signs and symptoms |
| apnea | the lack or absence of breathing |
| atelectasis | the collapse of a portion of a lung |
| biot's respirations | rapid and deep respirations followed by 10 to 30 seconds of apnea |
| bradypnea | slow breathing respirations are fewer than 12 per minute |
| cheyne stokes respirations | respirations gradually increase in rate and depth and then become shallow and slow breathing may stop for 10 to 20 seconds |
| cyanosis | bluish color to the skin lips mucous membranes and nail beds |
| dyspnea | difficult labored or painful breathing |
| hemoptysis | bloody sputum |
| hyperventilation | breathing is rapid and deeper than normal |
| hypoventilation | breathing is slow shallow and sometimes irregular |
| hypoxemia | a reduced amount of oxygen in the blood |
| hypoxia | cells do not have enough oxygen |
| kussmaul respirations | very deep and rapid respirations |
| orthopnea | breathing deeply and comfortably only when sitting |
| orthopneic position | sitting up and leaning over a table to breathe |
| oxygen concentration | the amount of hemoglobin containing oxygen |
| pollutant | a harmful chemical or substance in the air or water |
| pulse oximetry | measures the oxygen concentration in arterial blood |
| respiratory arrest | when breathing stops |
| respiratory depression | slow weak respirations at a rate of fewer than 12 per minute |
| sputum | mucus from the respiratory system that is expectorated through the mouth |
| tachypnea | rapid breathing respirations are more than 20 per minute |
| CO2 | carbon dioxide |
| ID | identification |
| L/min | liters per minute |
| 02 | oxygen |
| RBC | red blood cell |
| Sp02 | saturation of peripheral oxygen |
| factors affecting oxygen needs | any disease injury or surgery involving the respiratory or circulatory systems affects the intake and use of 02 |
| abnormal respirations | adults normally breathe 12 to 20 times per minute |
| respiratory tests | respiratory problems may be acute or chronic report your observations promptly |
| meeting oxygen needs | air must move deep into the lungs to alveoli where 02 and CO2 are exchanged |
| sputum specimens | respiratory disorders cause the lungs bronchi and trachea to secrete mucus |
| positioning | breathing is usually easier in the semi fowlers and fowlers positions |
| deep breathing and coughing | deep breathing moves air into most parts of the lungs |
| incentive spirometry | incentive means to encourage a spirometer is a machine that measures the amount of air inhaled |
| assisting with oxygen therapy | disease injury and surgery often interfere with breathing |
| oxygen flow rates | the flow rate is the amount of oxygen given |
| oxygen set up | oxygen is a dry gas if not humidified o2 dries the airways mucous membranes |
