Across
2. Is decreased oxygenation of arterial blood
5. a life-threatening condition caused by
rapid accumulation of fluid (usually blood) in
the pericardial sac
6. High- or low-pitched whistling, musical
sound heard during inspiration and/or expiration
7. High-pitched, continuous sound heard over
upper airway; a crowing sound
9. Is decreased oxygenation at the tissue level
12. Coarse, continuous, low-pitched, sonorous,
or rattling sound
13. Is a measure, or stretchability, of the lung
and chest wall
14. produced by blunt trauma to the chest,
frequently resulting in death at the scene of the
traumatic event
15. the bruising of lung tissue
18. Measures the saturation of oxygen in
pulsatile blood (SpO2), which reflects the SaO2.
19. defined as an inability of the respiratory
system to provide oxygenation and/or remove
carbon dioxide from the body. ARF is classified
as oxygenation failure resulting in hypoxemia
without a rise in carbon dioxide levels, or
ventilation failure resulting in hypercapnia and
hypoxemia
20. Is the obstruction of a pulmonary artery or
one of its branches that is usually produced by a
blood clot which has originated in a vein of the
leg or pelvis and traveled to the lungs and that
is marked by labored breathing, chest pain,
fainting, rapid heart rate, cyanosis, shock, and
sometimes death
21. A pneumothorax resulting from a wound in
the chest wall which acts as a valve that permits
air to enter the pleural cavity but prevents its
escape
Down
1. The surgical formation of an opening into
the trachea through the neck especially to allow
the passage of air
3. The movement of gases (oxygen and Co2)
in and out of the alveoli
4. Coarse, grating, squeaking, or scratching
sound, as when two pieces of leather rub
together
8. Refers to the opposition to the flow of
gases in the airways
10. Is a collection of blood in the pleural space
11. An acute disease that is marked by
inflammation of lung tissue accompanied by
infiltration of alveoli and often bronchioles with
white blood cells (such as neutrophils) and
fibrinous exudate, is characterized by fever,
chills, cough, difficulty in breathing, fatigue,
chest pain, and reduced lung expansion, and is
typically caused by an infectious agent (such as
a bacterium, virus, or fungus).
16. Discontinuous, explosive, bubbling sounds
of short duration
17. the addition of positive pressure into the
airways during expiration.
