Afebrile
without fever
Pyrexia
Fever
person is febrile
Pulse deficit
a difference between the apical and radial pulse rate insufficient cardiac force or volume
decreased tissue perfusion
Perfusion
oxygenated capillary blood passes through body tissues
Diffusion
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli of the lungs and the
circulating blood
Ventilation
movement of gases in and out of the lungs
Eupnea
normal unlabored respiration
Tachypnea
increased respiratory rate of more than 24 breaths per minute
Hyperventilation
increase in both the rate and depth of respirations
Pulse pressure
difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure
orthostatic hypotension
inadequate physiologic response to postural (positional) changes in blood pressure
thrombophlebitis
inflammation of a vein associated with thrombus (a clot formation)
Venous thrombus embolism (VTE)
a traveling blood clot
atelectasis
incomplete expansion or collapse of alveoli with retained mucus that involves a portion
of the lung and results in poor gas exchange
Pneumonia
an inflammation of the alveoli as the result of an infectious process or the presence of
foreign material.
