What is a pulmonary embolism?
Hayley had this in 2019 as a result of oral birth control leading to dyspnea, coughing, hypoxia, and chest pain

97 mm Hg (80-100 mm Hg)
100
What is the inspiratory reserve volume?
The max volume of air that can be inspired after normal tidal volume inspiration
100
What is active cycle of breathing?
Includes 3 phases: breathing control, thoracic expansion exercises, and forced expiratory technique
200
What is a myocardial infarction?
Occurs due to poor coronary artery perfusion, ischemia, and subsequent necrosis of myocardium
200
What is a computed tomography (CT scan)?
Procedure utilizing an x-ray machine that produces pictures as slices of the body (tomograms)
200
What is HDL?
40-60 mg/dL
200
What is the residual volume?
The volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration
200
What is postural drainage?
Use of gravity to drain bronchial secretions from specific lung segments
300
What is stage 1 hypertension?
A patient at this stage presents with a BP of 134/85
300
What is an echocardiography?
Procedure utilizing high frequency sound waves to evaluate the heart via real time images
300
What is bicarbonate (HCO3-)?
22-26 mEq/L
300
What is the vital capacity?
The volume change between max inspiration and max expiration
300
What is an exhale with effort?
Inhalation during less active phase of activity and exhalation during more active phase of activity
400
What is cystic fibrosis?
Autosomal recessive disorder resulting in thickened mucus and associated pulmonary obstruction
400
What is myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)?
Procedure utilizing a radionuclide agent injected into the blood at rest and at max level of exercise to determine how well the heart muscle is perfused
400
What is partial thromboplastin time (PTT)?
26.3-39.4 seconds
400
What is the functional residual capacity?
The volume of air in the lungs after normal exhalation
400
What is autogenic drainage?
Involves 3 phases: the unsticking phase, the collecting phase, and the evacuating phase
500
What is cor pulmonale?
Diagnosis is due to prolonged pulmonary hypertension resulting in increased right ventricular afterload
500
What is a ventilation-perfusion scan?
Procedure using small amounts of radioactive material to study airflow and blood flow within the lungs
500
What is hematocrit?
38.8-46.4% in adult males
500
What is the forced expiratory volume?
The max volume of air exhaled in a specific period of time (1, 2, or 3 seconds of a forced vital capacity maneuver)
500
What is threshold breathing for inspiratory muscle training?
Breathing exercise utilizing a device that creates a buildup of negative pressure before flow occurs through a valve that opens at a critical pressure
