Chest tube
Ans: Catheter inserted into chest to remove air/fluid from the pleural space

Ans: Breathing pattern (abnormal) apnea-->deep breathing-->shallow breaths-->apnea
(cycles) brain stem injury or decreased blood flow
Conditions affecting chest wall movement
Ans: Pregnancy, Obesity, Musculoskeletal abnormalities, trauma, neuromuscular
diseases, CNS alterations
CPAP
Ans: Continuous positive airwary pressure; A form of positive airway pressure
ventilator, which applies mild air pressure on a continuous basis to keep airways
open continuously in people who are able to breathe spontaneously on their own.
Diaphragmatic breathing
Ans: Deep breathing done by contracting the diaphragm; Air enters the lungs, and
the belly expands during this type of breathing.
Dyspnea
Ans: Hypoxia (clinical sign) -->The subjective sensation of difficult or uncomfortable
breathing
Dysrhythmias
Ans: Abnormal sinus rhythm. Electrical impulse didn't begin with the SA node and
caused an abnormal rhythm
ECG
Ans: Electrocardiogram--measures the electrical activity of the heart (conduction
system) Causes: Ischemia, abnormal valves, drug toxicity, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco
Endotracheal tube
Ans: Tube inserted through either nose or mouth into the trachea for ventilation;
most common use in anesthesia
