|
100What is perfusion?

|
100What is restrictive disease?
Patients with a decrease in all measured lung volumes have this.
|
100What is emphysema?

|
200What is corticosteroids?
Patients with seasonal allergic rhinitus who do not respond to antihistamines and sympathomimetic agents may be given this.
|
200What is Inhalation?
Transport of air containing oxygen to the alveolar sacs, exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide across alveolar membranes?
|
200What is Aerosol steroids?
Have few adverse effects and maximum effect may not be present for up to 2 weeks.
|
200What is a cough?
Reflex innitiated by irritation of the airway.
|
200What is drinking large amounts of fluids?

Beclomethasone, budesonide, fluticasone, flunisoline
|
300What is exhalation?
Expelling stale air containing carbonmonoxide.

300What is diffusion?
Oxygen passes across alveolar membrane to the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide passes from blood into alveolar sacs.

400What is minimize adrenal suppression?
Use corticosteroids only for short periods to _________ __________ __________.
|
400What is ventilation of the lungs?
Accomplished by contraction and relaxation of the diaphragmatic and intercostal muscles
|
400What are ventilation and perfusion?
These must be equal to maintain homeostasis.
|
400What is Asthma?

500What is intercostal muscles?
muscles between the ribs
|
500What is obstructive disease?
Patients who have difficulty with expirationa and usually have normal lung capacity (TLC) have this.
|
500What is Chroninic bronchitis?
(Obstructive) chronic irritation causes inflammation and edema with excessive mucous production leading to airway obstruction is called.
