Across
- 2. racemic inhaled mixture that acts on α and β adrenoceptors to induce bronchial smooth muscle relaxation
- 5. tube removed from the mouth down into the trachea
- 8. by moving breathable air into and out of the lungs, to deliver breaths to a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently
- 12. organ in the top of the neck involved in breathing, producing sound and protecting the trachea against aspiration
- 15. bilateral firm digital pressure on the styloid process behind the posterior ramus of the mandible
- 17. measure of how much hemoglobin is currently bound to oxygen compared to how much hemoglobin remains unbound
- 18. are 2 bands of smooth muscle tissue found in the larynx
- 21. condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus
- 23. short acting neuromuscular blocking agent, typically used for skeletal muscle relaxation during intubation (abbreviated answer)
- 25. are a group of substances that blocks the action of the neurotransmitter called acetylcholine at synapses in the central and peripheral nervous system. These agents inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system by selectively blocking the binding of ACh to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movement of smooth muscles.
- 27. occurs when fluid accumulates in the alveoli of the lungs
Down
- 1. below-normal level of oxygen
- 3. (oropharyngeal) insertion of a catheter deep into the back of the throat to remove mucus or saliva
- 4. passage or airway in the respiratory system that conducts air into the lungs
- 6. anticholinergic drug that has been used as an antisialogogue and to reverse neuromuscular blockade (sometimes used for bradycardia) post-operatively
- 7. tube inserted through the mouth down into the trachea
- 9. medication that opens up the medium and large airways in the lungs. It is a short-acting β2 adrenergic receptor agonist which works by causing relaxation of airway smooth muscle
- 10. a class of drugs with effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages
- 11. (brand name) hand-held device commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.
- 13. chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs (abbreviated answer)
- 14. tightening of the muscles that line the bronchi in your lungs
- 16. medication used to treat bradycardia, reduce salivation and bronchial secretions, or as an antidote of cholinergic drugs
- 19. expiratory sound caused by forced airflow through collapsed airways
- 20. occurs when you inhale food, drink, vomit or saliva into your lungs
- 22. a large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes
- 24. sustained closure of the vocal cords resulting in
- 26. agents used to compete with acetylcholine and interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses resulting in skeletal muscle relaxation
