Resp System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tilade aerosol | nedocromil (TiN) |
| Tamiflu | oseltamivir (TaO) |
| Robitussin Cough | dextromethorphan (RoD) |
| Mucinex | guaifenesin (MuG) |
| Atrovent | ipratropium (AtI) |
| Phyllocontin | aminophylline (PhA) |
| Proventil | Albuterol (PrA) |
| Xopenex | levalbuterol (XoL) |
| Serevent | salmeterol (SeS) |
| Sudafed | phenylephrine (SuP) |
| Triaminic | pseudoephedrine (TrP) |
| Pulmicort | budesonide (PuB) |
| Flovent | fluticasone (FlF) |
| Orapred | predenisolone (OrP) |
| Mucomyst | acetylcysteine (MuA) |
| Oxygen | oxygen |
| Cafcit | theophylline, caffeine citrate |
| Wellbutrin | bupropion (WB) |
| mast cell stabilizer | ex: nedocromil IFU: asthma prophylaxis MOA: decrease body reaction to asthma triggers by..inhibiting mast cells from bursting open and causing inflammation |
| prophylaxis | action to prevent disease |
| anti influenza agents | ex: oseltamivir IFU: reduce influenza symptoms MOA: blocks an enzyme of virus and prevents virus from reproducing. facilitates viral movement withing respiratory tract (Can cause kidney and liver impairment) |
| antitussives | ex: triaminic IFU: unproductive cough MOA: stops coughs by suppressing cough center in brain and stopping signal to cough (affect central nervous system) |
| expectorants | ex: guaifenesin IFU: productive cough MOA: reduces thickness of bronchial secretion thus increasing mucus flow to be removed from body by coughing |
| mucolytics | ex: acetylcysteine (mucomyst) IFU: thick mucus secretion MOA: breaks down chemical structure of mucus molecules to make it easier to cough phlegm and clear airwyas |
| phlegm | mucus |
| anticholinergics | ex: atrovent IFU: bronchospasm MOA: dialate the bronchi by blocking action of acetycholine which causes spasms Also called parasympathlytics |
| bronchospasm | sudden tightness of bronchioles |
| bronchioles | transports air from trachea to alveoli at the end of bronchi |
| trachea | windpipe connecting voice box(larynx) and bronchi pharynx(throat below) |
| alveoli | tiny air sacs that facilitate gas exchange |
| Xanthines(methylxanthibes) | Ex: aminophylline IFU: asthma MOA: relax smooth muscle surrounding bronchi and relieve bronchospasm |
| Beta adrenergic agonist | Ex:albuterol IFU: bronchosontrictions MOA: stimulate beta 2 receptor sites in sympathetic nervous system and result in bronchial dilations |
| Decongestant | Ex:triaminic IFU: inflammation and fluid build up in the respiratory system MOA: cause blood vessels in nasal mucous membrane to constrict, reducing nasal passage drainage and provides relief if swelling and congestion |
| Glucocortucoids | IFU: asthma MOA: suppresses immune system to decrease inflammation Ex: orapred |
| Oxygen | IFU:hypoxia MOA: increase amount of oxygen in body for patients with low oxygen levels |
| Respiratory stimulants | IFU:apnea MOA: stimulate respiratory center of brain to encourage breathing most common in premature babies Ex:cafcit |
| Smoking cessations aid | Ex: nicotine, wellburtin IFU: nicotine withdrawal prophylaxis MOA: delivers small amounts of nicotine to help gradual withdrawl |
| hypoxia | body cells don't get enough oxygen |
| apnea | temporary pause of breathing mostly in babies |
| dyspnea | difficulty breathing, shortness of breath |
| nasal sinus passage | warm and filter inhaled air, remove germs |
| epiglottis | covers the windpipe, prevent food and liquids from entering lungs direct them esophagus |
| bronchial tubes | transport oxygen to alveoli |
| lungs | facilitate gas exchange, remove CO2, regulate breathing |
| pharynx | throat (connects to sinus cavity) |
| larynx | voice box (above trachea) |
| pluera | double membrane surrounding lungs |
| diaphragm | contract and flatten lungs to bring air into lungs (primary muscle for inhalation) |
| oral | tablets, capsules, liquids |
| nasal | sprays |
| inhaled | metered dose inhalers, nebulizer aerosols |
| injected | intramuscular |
| Asthma prophylaxis and asthma exacerbation (asthma attack) | looks like inflamed bronchiole |
| conditions that affect asthma attack | inflammation, bronchoconstrictions, increased mucous production |
| short acting beta agonist | ex: Albuterol quick relief aka rescue relief |
| long acting beta agonist | ex: salmeterol maintain treatment of asthma and COPD |
| COPD | chronic obstructive pulmonary disease combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema |
| emphysema | progressive lung disease alveoli are damaged |
| brain | generate basic rhythm for breathing |
