Respiratory Assessment
Across
- 3. continuous musical sounds associated with airway narrowing or partial obstruction
- 4. expectoration of blood from the respiratory tract
- 9. portion of the tracheobronchial tree that does not participate in gas exchange
- 10. shortness of breath when lying flat; relieved by sitting or standing
- 13. vibrations of speech felt as tremors of the chest wall during palpation
- 14. abnormally rapid respirations
- 15. decrease in arterial oxygen tension in the blood
- 17. abnormal increase in clarity of transmitted voice sounds heard when auscultating the lungs
- 20. percentage of hemoglobin that is bound to oxygen
- 21. movement of air in and out of the airways
- 23. nonmusical, discontinuous popping sounds during inspiration caused by delayed reopening of the airways heard on chest auscultation
- 25. decrease in oxygen supply to the tissues and cells
- 26. volume of air inspired and expired with each breath during normal breathing
Down
- 1. gas exchange between atmospheric air and the blood and between the blood and cells of the body
- 2. continuous, high-pitched, musical sound heard on inspiration, best heard over the neck; may be heard without use of a stethoscope, secondary to upper airway obstruction
- 5. short, fine hairs that provide a constant whipping motion that serves to propel mucus and foreign substances away from the lung toward the larynx
- 6. direct examination of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi using an endoscope
- 7. temporary absence of breathing during sleep secondary to transient upper airway obstruction
- 8. whispered sounds heard loudly and clearly upon thoracic auscultation
- 11. blood flow through the pulmonary vasculature
- 12. abnormal change in tone of voice that is heard when auscultating the lungs
- 16. exchange of gas molecules (oxygen and carbon dioxide) from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration
- 18. subjective experience that describes an uncomfortable or painful breathing sensation when either at rest or while walking or climbing stairs; also commonly referred to as shortness of breath
- 19. deep, low-pitched snoring sound associated with partial airway obstruction, heard on chest auscultation
- 22. temporary cessation of breathing
- 24. measure of the force required to expand or inflate the lungs
