🗑
Asbestosis   show
🗑
Central Cyanosis   show
🗑
Consolidation   show
🗑
show “heart of the lungs”; enlargement of the right ventricle from hypertrophy or dilation or as a secondary response to disorders that affect the lungs  
🗑
Empyema   show
🗑
show insertion of a needle through the chest wall to obtain cells of a mass or tumor; usually performed under fluoroscopy or chest computed tomography guidance  
🗑
Hempoptysis   show
🗑
Hemothorax   show
🗑

show pneumothorax characterized by increasing positive pressure in the pleural space with each breath; this is an emergency situation and the positive pressure needs to be decompressed or released immediately  
🗑

🗑
show through the bronchial wall, as in a transbronchial lung biopsy  
🗑
show the ratio between ventilation and perfusion in the lung; matching of ventilation to perfusion optimizes gas exchange  
🗑
Atelectasis   show
🗑
show increasing dyspnea, cough, and sputum production... in addition, tachycardia, tachypnea, pleural pain, and central cyanosis may be anticipated, patients characteristically have difficulty breathing in the supine position and are anxious
