If red blood cells are higher than normal, the blood viscosity increases and the blood pressure increases
which structure prevents the trachea from collapsing hyaline cartilage
an enlargement in the airway at the top of the trachea and below the pharynx is the larynx
the potential space between the visceral and parietal pleurae is the pleural cavity
the area between an alveoli and a respiratory bronchiole is the alveolar duct
a short distance from its origin, each primary bronchus divides into lobar bronchi
the microscopic air sacs clustered at the distal ends of the respiratory tubes are the alveoli
the main bronchi, pulmonary arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels enter the lung on the medial surface through the hilum
the right lung is divided into ___ lobes 3
the heart lies _______ slightly to the left within the mediastinum
what is the most common congenital chest deformity pectus excavatum
the inability of the lung to expand and accumulation of air in the pleural cavity is pneumothorax
which instrument is preferred for removal of a foreign body in the bronchial tree of infants and children rigid bronchoscope
which of the following is not considered a sterile procedure: bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy, thorascopy, anterior mediastinoscopy bronchoscopy

which intercostal space is entered for a thoracotomy 5th
which hemostatic agent is placed on each side of the sternum after a median sternotomy to control bleeding bone wax
for visualization of the pleurae, lower and middle mediastinum, and pericardium, the surgeon would need a mediastinoscope
the procedure performed to remove a fibrous covering from the lung following empyema formation is pulmonary decortication
outpouching of an aveolar sac which leads to subsequent rupture resulting in a pneumothorax is called bleb
the instrument used to approximate the ribs following thoracotomy is bailey rib contractor
cervical rib resection is performed to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome
when two chest tubes are placed into the pleural space, the uppermost tube is used to evacuate air/re-establish negative pressure
when a rib is removed, the remaining bone edges are trimmed with a stille-luer rongeur
mediastinoscopy is usually performed with the patient in what position dorsal recumbent
the diagnostic procedure which permits visualization of the great vessels is called mediastinoscopy
removal of air or fluid from the pleural cavity via needle aspiration is thoracentesis

flexible semitransparent cartilage; forms c-shaped rings that support the trachea hyaline cartilage
substernal space mediastinum
the serous lining of the chest cavity covering the organs of the chest pleura
perforation of the visceral pleura by a fractured rib edge allowing air in the pleural space pneumothorax
anterior mediastinoscopy chamberlin procedure
results if blood or pus from a chest injury or infection is not drained from the pleural cavity empyema
