| 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 position is generally used for lobectomy | posterolateral |
| the prep parameters for a posterolateral thoracotomy are | shoulder and arm to the iliac crest, as far lateral as possible |
| 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 |
| terminal sac-like portion of the distal respiratory bronchiole | alveoli |
| 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 |
| traditional mediastinoscopy | involves introduction of the scope through the pre-tracheal fascia into the superior mediastinum |
