Across
- 2. Respiratory complication after long bone fracture, presenting with hypoxemia, tachypnea, and petechiae.
- 4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; patients may present with barrel chest and clubbing.
- 6. Fraction of inspired oxygen delivered by supplemental oxygen devices.
- 9. Pneumonia that develops after 48+ hours of mechanical ventilation.
- 10. Acute respiratory distress syndrome often requiring intubation and proning.
- 12. Inadequate oxygen level in the blood.
- 14. Partial collapse of alveoli often due to hypoventilation or ineffective coughing.
- 15. Air in the pleural space causing lung collapse.
- 16. Severe asthma attack unresponsive to usual treatment, life-threatening airway obstruction.
- 18. Medical emergency with tracheal deviation and hemodynamic instability.
- 20. Subcutaneous emphysema felt as “rice crispy” popping under the skin.
Down
- 1. Short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) used as first-line treatment for acute asthma.
- 3. Sudden constriction of airway muscles, common in asthma
- 5. Mnemonic for ventilator troubleshooting: Displacement, Obstruction, Pneumothorax, Equipment failure.
- 7. Accumulation of blood in the pleural space.
- 8. Ventilator setting that prevents alveolar collapse by maintaining pressure during exhalation.
- 11. Removal of the endotracheal tube; suction before removal to reduce aspiration risk.
- 13. Normal movement of water in the chest tube water seal chamber with respirations.
- 17. Decreased tissue oxygenation.
- 19. Positioning strategy for ARDS to improve oxygenation and surface area for gas exchange.
