Alveolar air volume Correct ans- amount of air that reaches
alveoli for gas exchange (approx. 350 ml. For adult male) Tidal
volume minus dead space
Dead air space Correct ans- anatomic dead space are structures
that hold air but but can't participate in gas exchange. Physiologic
dead space are alveoli or capillaries destroyed by disease
Expiratory reserve volume Correct ans- amount of gas that can
be forcefully expired at the end of a normal expiration
Inspiratory reserve volume Correct ans- amount of gas that
can be forcefully inspired in addition to a normal breaths tidal
volume
Internal respiration Correct ans- exchange of gases between
blood cells and tissues
Peak expiratory flow Correct ans- the greatest rate of airflow
during forced expiration when lungs are fully inflated
Residual volume Correct ans- after maximal forced
exhalation, amount of air remaining not able to be expelled
Tidal volume Correct ans- amount of air in a respiratory cycle
(500 ml, 5-7ml/kg)
Minute volume Correct ans- amount of gas moved in and
out of respiratory tract per minute
Air trapping Correct ans- a respiratory pattern associated
with an obstruction in the pulmonary tree. Rate increases to
overcome resistance.

(manubriosternal junction)
Anoxia Correct ans - total lack of oxygen available to
the tissues Apnea Correct ans - respiratory arrest

Barrier device Correct ans- thin film of material placed on the
patient's face used to prevent direct contact with the patient's
mouth during PPV
Carina Correct ans- where the trachea divides into right
and left bronchi
Ronchi Correct ans- rattling or rumbling in the lungs.
Inspiration and expiration. Fluid in larger airways and may be
cleared from a cough.
Stridor Correct ans- harsh, high-pitched inspiratory sound
best heard over the neck
Rattles (ronchi) Correct ans- inflammation and mucus or fluid
in larger airways heard on inspiration. Associated with bronchitis
or pneumonia
Crackles (rales) Correct ans- wet lungs - sounds like hair
rolled in finger tips. fluid in smaller airways, crackling or
popping sound on inspiration, sound that indicates presence
of fluid in smaller airways
Croup Correct ans- viral infection in upper airway that
sounds like a seal bark
Wheeze Correct ans- whistling sound heard on
inspiration or expiration in pharynx, trachea, bronchi
Biot's respirations Correct ans- irregular respirations and rate
with periods of apnea from increased ICP, brain damage at
medulla, DKA, and OD'ing
