Incentive Spirometry

Back 22

method of encouraging voluntary deep breathing by providing visual feedback to pt of the inspiratory volume they have achieved.

Kussmaul respiration

Back 23

increase in both rate and depth of respirations

Orthopnea

Back 28

abnormally condition in which a person must sit or stand to breathe normally

Front 29

Perfusion

Back 29

passage of a fluid through a specific organ or an area of the body.
therapeutic measure whereby a drug intended lol an isolated part of the body is introduces via the bloodstream.
relates to the ability of the cardiovascular system to pump oxygenated blood to the tissue and return designated blood to the lungs.
