Abnormal or acquired breath sounds
Adventitious breath sounds
A complete absence of breathing
Apnea
A condition that occurs when ventilation is decreased and pooled secretions accumulate in a dependent area of a bronchiole an block it
A telectasis
Shallow breaths interrupted by apnea
Biot's Respirations
Abnormally slow respiratory rate, usually less than 10 respirations per minute
Bradypnea
Rhythmic waxing and waning of respirations from very deep breathing to very shallow breathing with periods of temporary apnea
Cheyne-Stokes Respirations
Bluish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes caused by reduced oxygen in the blood
Cyanosis
The mixing of molecules or ions of two or more substances as a result of random motion
Diffusion
Difficult or labored breathing
Dyspnea
A chronic pulmonary condition in which the alveoli are dilated and distended.
Emphysema
Normal, quite breathing
Eupnea
To cough, and spit up mucus or other materials
Expectorate
The proportion of red blood cells to the total blood volume

Hypercapnia
Hypercapnia
Hypercarbia
Giving the client breaths that are 1 to 1.5 times the tidal volume through the ventilator circuit or via a manual resuscitation bag
Hyper inflation
Done with a manual resuscitation bag or through a ventilator; increases oxygen flow before suctioning
