Respiratory Preview

1. Airway support that maintains a degree of positive pressure at the end of exhalation.
3. The volume of ventilated air that does not participate in gas exchange.
6. The volume of air inspired or expired in a single resting breath.
7. The level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath.
12. The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the capillary red blood cells and the tissues cells.
15. The amount of gas inhaled or exhaled in 1 minute.
16. Provides a picture of the patients cardio-respiratory system in the form of the CO2 waveform.

2. The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the inspired air and pulmonary capillaries.
4. The amount of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of normal expiration.
5. The highest level of pressure applied to the lungs during inhalation.
8. dioxide, During the process of cellular respiration, this is given off as a waste product.
9. Percentage of oxygen in the air mixture that is delivered to the patient.
10. The process of oxygen diffusing passively from the alveolus to the pulmonary capillary where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells or dissolves into the plasma.
11. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
13. The mechanical movement of air into and out of the lungs that makes respiration possible.
14. Only the measurement of CO2 in respiratory gas without a continuous written record or waveform.
