The inflammation of the median sensory nerve in the first three fingers and palm

What is affected in carpal tunnel syndrom

It affects the thumb the index finger the long finger and partial ring finger

What ligament is cut in order to fix carpal tunnel syndrome

Transverse carpal ligament

What nerve is trapped in order to cause carpal tunnel syndrome

Median nerve is trapped

Herniation of the invertable disc

It is the abnormal protrusion of the invertible disk into the spinal nerves or the canal

What is the bone in the spinal column that is protruded

Lamine bone

What are the two different nerve parts

Annulus Fibrosus and Nucleus pulposus

What is the name of the precedures

Laminectomy and microdiskectomy

What is a rhytidectomy

A removal of wrinkles (platysma) muscle around the jaw that sags -under the skin

What muscle is cut and made shorter

Platysma muscle

What is a burn

Injury to the tissue caused by heat contact

What are the different types of burns

1st- superficial epidermal lesions no blisters example of this is sunburn


2nd- partial thickness burn injury the epidermal and the dermal lesions erhythmia blisters hyperesthesia


3rd degree- full thickness burn injury the epidermis is destroyed the dermis on the Subcutanous layers also damaged


Fourth degree- reaches to the muscles and bones

Gangrene

Death of the tissue associated with loss of blood supply

What are the two types

Diabetic gangrene caused by diabetes / has no gas


Gas gangrene caused by clostridum perfringens bacteria/ has gas

What are Keloids?

Are abnormal hypertrophied thickened scars caused by surgery or trauma

What is a normal scar called

Cicatrix

Mohs Surgery

Thin layers of malignant tissue are removed and each slice is examined under a microscope to check for adequate extent of resection excussion exclusion to treat basal


Cell carcinomas and other tumors


This is done to see if maignant or not if malignant keep cutting and comparing under microscope to see how deep the cancer goes

What is pneumonectomy

Cutting out of the whole lung

What is pneumothorax

The air gathers in the pleural cavity causing the lung to collapse lung cannot fill up with air breathing becomes more difficult

What is another name for a collapsed lung and what causes this

Atelectasis and pneumothorax

What is needed to fix a collapsed lung

A pluerovac

What is pneumomonia

Inflammation of a lung

What is a pluemonary abscess

A large collection of pus in the lung

What is pulmonary edema

Fluid in the air sacs and the bronchioles

What do we use to stop pulmonary embolisms from occuring

We use sequential compression devices

What is plueral effusion

Abnormal accumulation of fluid in the plueral space

How do you stop pneumothorax

Thoracentesis which is the surgical puncture to remove fluid from the plueral space

What is trachetomy

Is an incision into the trachea to open it below a blockage

What is trachestomy

Is an opening into the trachea through which an indwelling tube is inserted

What is atherosclerosis

Is the hardening of plaque- fat deposits in the wall of the blood vessels which is plaque causes the lumen to narrow slows down the blood supply which causes the patient to become dizzy and causing partial blockage when there is full blockage a heart attack can occur because the artery vessels harden causing the pressure to go up

Arrthymia

Abnormal heart rhtymn

What is the battery used to run artifical pacemaker

Lithium battery

What is flutter

Flutter is the rapid but regular contraction which goes up to 300 beats per minute

Fibrillation

Is the irregular contraction which is 300 beats per minute or more

What is coartion of the aorta

Is the narrowing of the aorta

What is patient ductus arterosus (PDA)

Opened up between two arteries that is open specifically the aorta and the pulmonary artery which should have been closed at birth

What is septal defects

Is the small holes in the wall between the ventricles hole in the ventricular septum causing blood to flow from left to right into the lungs via the pulmonary artery

What is the other heart conditions

Pulmomary artery stenosis- is a heart valve disorder in which outflow of the blood from the right ventricle of the heart is obstructed at the level of the pulmonary valve causing a reduction of flow of blood to the lungs


Overriding septal defect- is a congenital heart defect with the aorta is positioned directly over a ventricular septal defect instead of over the left ventricle the result is that the aorta receives some blood from the right ventricle causing a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and thereby reducing the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues


Hypertrophied of the Right ventricle- right ventricular hypertrophy the form of ventricular hypertrophy affecting the right ventricle blood travels through the right ventricle to the lungs of the pulmonary artery if this condition occurs it will decrease pulmonary circulation meaning blood does not flow well from the heart to the lungs extra stress can then be put on the right ventricle this can lead to right ventricular hypertrophy


Ventricular septa defect


Eventual septal defect is a defect in the ventricle septum the wall dividing the left and right ventricle of the heart the ventricle septum consists of an inferior muscle and superior membranous portion and is extensively integrated with conducting cardioomycytes


Tratalogy of fallot


Is the combination of four heart defects it is Present at birth defect makes it difficult for your child to get oxygen to the entire body

What is a artery bypass graft from leg

Is a procedure used to treat the coronary artery disease in the certain circumstances blood vessels are graphs are used for the bypass procedure may be pieces of veins being taken from the legs or on an artery in the chest at the time in order from the wrist maybe used one end of the graft is attached above the blockage and the other end is attached below the blockage thus the blood is rerouted around or bypasses the blockage through the new grass to reach the heart muscle.

What are the veins taken from the leg and the chest that are connected for the cornary artery bypass graph

Saphenous vein (leg)


Internal Thorasic artery (chest)

What is ischemia

Is the partial blockage causing a lack of oxygen making a person crave for oxygen

Is the splitting or dissecting of the wall of the aorta caused by blood entering in a tear or hemorrhage within the walls of the vessel repaired by synthetic graph

What is veinustatis?

Veinustatis blood cant flow properly causing blood flow to slow down which can cause a blood clot
